Robotics Engineer - Control

Harvested Robotics is building tractor-mounted, AI-powered laser weeding systems designed to operate directly on Indian farms. Our robots work in harsh outdoor environments involving dust, heat, vibration, and uneven terrain. We are looking for a Robotics Controls & Tracking Engineer who will own the end-to-end tracking and control system that aligns perception output with precise gimbal and laser actuation. This is a core engineering role responsible for ensuring accuracy, stability, and robustness in real-world field conditions. Roles &

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and tune control algorithms for real-world robotic systems Own the complete tracking pipeline from perception output to gimbal and laser actuation Develop motion compensation techniques for tractor dynamics, speed variations, and terrain-induced vibration Design and tune control loops for stability and precision Handle system latency, timing, and real-time constraints across sensing, compute, and actuation Collaborate with perception engineer on coordinate frames, timing, and interfaces Work closely with embedded firmware engineer on actuator control and constraints Perform field testing, tuning, and debugging on deployed machines Analyze logs, identify failure modes, and drive improvements in system robustness

Requirements

Strong fundamentals in robotics and control systems Hands-on

experience

tuning controllers on physical hardware

Experience

with BLDC motors, servo systems, encoders, and motor drivers Understanding of latency, jitter, noise, and non-linearities in control systems

Experience

working with ROS / ROS2 and robotic software stacks Ability to work closely with mechanical and electronics systems Preferred

Skills

Experience

with gimbal systems or stabilized platforms

Experience

with robotics on moving vehicles (UGV, agricultural, automotive, or industrial systems) Vision-based tracking or visual servoing

experience

Outdoor or field robotics

experience

Benefits

Opportunity to work on real-world, deployed robotic systems operating on Indian farms High-impact role with clear end-to-end ownership and technical responsibility Fast-paced startup environment with no bureaucracy. A hands-on engineering culture that values field testing and real outcomes over slides Denver — our office Golden Retriever — who takes his role as Chief Happiness Officer very seriously.
