Creating useful and affordable robots at Autodiscovery.
What kind of person does it fit
You want to be leading robotics development, you are not afraid of bleeding edge and having to fix things yourself or promote best practices in software. You are excited about what benefits robotics can bring to society and want to see billions of robots doing useful work in the near future.
You enjoy coding and working on software all day. You are happy working alone or with people and generally prefer using git and online tools for efficient collaboration.
You also like to work on hardware and seeing your work deployed on real robots and seeing robots doing useful things that benefit society.
You occasionally like to travel to academic conferences and customer demos in interesting locations, and support real-time testing of the robot system. Overseas travel to technical conferences is available but not mandatory.

Skill level
This job is open for any skill level and any experience, but we expect you to demonstrate at least 1 year of relevant experience or make a very good case why you will excel without this. We are looking for someone who is hands-on with the software day-to-day.
You will need to demonstrate good practical experience; this can be work experience or extracurricular activities during your studies that required you to write code.
Experience with robotics, AI, computer games, and other related fields are ideal.
Working on the latest and most advanced robots.
Excellent learning opportunity and strength to your CV working with high-profile projects and customers.
Flexible work, flexible hours, flexible location, as long as work gets done.
Generous IT allowance, best equipment.
Embrace open source.
Downsides
Rural location.
Bursts of very intense work required leading up to key customer deliveries, will be compensated by extended leave allowance or, if appropriate, bonus.
Start-up: direction of development may change due to demand or new developments. Start-ups may not succeed and your job is not as secure as in large companies.
Bleeding edge: you will encounter challenges.
