Robotics Engineer (All levels)

• *Transform 800,000 hectares of greenhouses into fully\-autonomous food production sites**
• -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At eternal.ag, we're building the future of sustainable food production. Our mission is to convert the world's existing greenhouses into fully automated facilities that can produce fresh food year\-round \- addressing the critical need to double food production by 2050 while facing severe labor shortages, water scarcity, and climate challenges.

• *About the Role**
• -----------------

Join our world\-class robotics team as we revolutionize horticulture automation. Whether you're a recent graduate eager to make your mark or an experienced engineer looking for your next challenge, you'll work on cutting\-edge autonomous systems that combine advanced perception, precise manipulation, and intelligent decision\-making to perform complex agricultural tasks like harvesting, deleafing, and crop monitoring.

As a Robotics Engineer at eternal.ag, you'll be part of a high\-performance culture that values first\-principles thinking and rapid iteration. Our unique approach leverages cloud\-based simulation, over\-the\-air updates, and modular hardware design to achieve what others have spent decades attempting. We believe in nurturing talent at all levels \- from fresh graduates to seasoned professionals.

You'll collaborate with a distributed team across our Cologne HQ and Bengaluru office, building on proven technology while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in agricultural robotics.
