## What they're looking for

- Design, build and harden perception pipelines — obstacle detection, classification and tracking — that keep autonomous agricultural equipment operating safely in the field
- Integrate real sensors (cameras, LiDAR, radar, GNSS/IMU) onto tractors and implements, including drivers, intrinsic/extrinsic calibration and time synchronization
- Fuse multi-sensor data into a dependable world model that feeds navigation, safety, control and sequencing systems
- Evaluate, select and integrate third-party sensors and perception vendors, from bench prototype through production deployment
- Deploy and optimize computer vision models on edge compute within real-time latency, thermal and power constraints
- Build data collection, labeling and evaluation pipelines from field logs to measure and improve perception performance across crops, seasons, lighting and weather
