As a Deep Learning Engineer at Carbon Robotics, you will contribute to designing, developing, and deploying novel deep learning systems that power our autonomous laser weeding robots in the field.

Carbon Robotics is the leader in physical AI for agriculture, helping farmers become more profitable and sustainable. Its flagship product, the LaserWeeder™, is the world’s leading commercial laser weeding system with hundreds of units operated by farmers in 15 countries worldwide.

Job responsibilities

  • Lead the design and execution of experiments to develop and validate novel deep learning architectures for computer vision in agricultural environments
  • Own model optimization and deployment pipelines — ensuring high performance, reliability, and scalability across operational field deployments
  • Drive end-to-end ML workflows from data strategy and pipeline design through evaluation and production deployment
  • Define best practices for experimentation, documentation, and model evaluation within the team
  • Partner with Engineering and Product Management to scope, prioritize, and deliver high-impact features
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to mid-level and junior engineers
  • Communicate model architecture decisions, tradeoffs, and performance results to both technical and non-technical audiences

Job requirements

  • 2-4 years of professional experience designing and implementing novel deep learning architectures for production computer vision systems
  • Deep understanding of foundational deep learning mathematics and the ability to apply first-principles thinking to architecture decisions
  • Hands-on experience working across the software stack, including sensor integration and web services, ideally within a robotics or autonomous field equipment platform
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks, particularly PyTorch, and proficiency in C++ for performance-critical model development and deployment
  • Proven track record taking ML projects from inception through business impact — including data strategy, pipeline development, experimentation, and deployment at scale
  • Strong expertise in modern object detection techniques (vision transformers, anchor-free detectors, embeddings, and beyond)
  • Experience in autonomous driving or ADAS is a plus — background in perception pipelines, sensor fusion, or real-time inference in outdoor or unstructured environments is highly valued
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and making principled technical decisions in rapidly evolving technical landscapes
