SalaryWe're Blue River, a team of innovators driven to create intelligent machinery that solves monumental problems for our customers. We empower our customers – farmers, construction crews, and foresters - to implement safer and more sustainable solutions, driving increased profitability with less reliance on scarce labor. We believe that focusing on the small stuff – pixel-by-pixel and task-by-task - leads to big gains. With our partners at John Deere, we have the ability to bring innovative computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and product management solutions to scale production, maximizing their potential impact.
Our people are at the heart of what we do. Through cross-discipline collaboration, this mission-driven and daring team is eager to define the new frontier of mobile robotics. We are always asking hard questions, rapidly iterating, and getting our boots in the field and on-site to figure it out. We won't give up until we've made a tangible and positive impact on the planet.
Summary
Blue River's Data and Machine Learning Platform is responsible for developing the next-generation tools to support and enable the development of intelligent machines. Our work in the Platform team covers many areas: ranging from building hybrid hardware-cloud compute capabilities to providing metadata management for ML processes and release cycles so that roboticists can reduce diagnostics time and ML can utilize all of the available compute power.
As a Systems Engineer, you will be the bridge between the platform users and the platform, helping to accelerate the adoption of the common tools and practices developed within the Platform team. To do this, you will need to deeply empathize with and anticipate our end users: data scientists, roboticists, and ML engineers. You will work side-by-side with them to assist in the prototyping and integration of tools, contributing both to the core Platform as well as project-specific integrations. In doing so, you will discover and deeply understand our users' pain and provide advice on future platform products and features.
