Job Description

Robotics Software Engineer

Build software that drives autonomous robots in the real world.

FireFly Robotics is the world leader in autonomous fairway mowing — and we're growing. Since 2010, we've been engineering fully automated harvesters and robotic field mowers used daily on premier golf courses and sports turf facilities nationwide. Now we're looking for a Full Stack Web Developer to help build the command-and-control interface at the heart of our fleet operations.

AMP is our autonomous mowing platform. It maintains large green spaces used for golf and sports turf. Customers map boundaries, plan stripes, and set full mowing routes with QuickPlan software inside our FireLink platform. They place the mower in the field and start the plan from FireLink. AMP handles the rest. It delivers consistent, high-precision mowing, giving maintenance crews more time for higher-value work.

The Position

We are hiring a Robotics Software Engineer who enjoys solving real problems in real environments. You will help us deliver safe, reliable, centimeter-level mowing. Your work will touch controls, perception, localization, path planning, and command and control. You will lead one of these areas based on your strengths.

What You Will Do

• Build planning, perception, and localization algorithms for AMP

• Develop code that interprets real-world data and conditions

• Combine sensor data from cameras, LiDAR, stereo depth, and GNSS

• Improve performance for edge computing using Python and C++

• Support other parts of the software or hardware stack when needed

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar

• Three or more years of experience in robotics

• Skill in computer vision, path planning, localization, GNSS, object detection, or imaging

• Experience building robotics systems with common frameworks, especially ROS2

• Experience developing robotics software from scratch
