Who is Monarch Tractor?

At Monarch, we’re leading the digital transformation of farming. Monarch believes in putting farmers first. Our smart electric tractor enhances existing farm ecosystems. Monarch helps farmers by addressing labor availability, meeting consumer demands for sustainability and providing actionable data‑driven farming insights. Monarch enables economically competitive organic and beyond farming through intelligent electro‑mechanical solutions that replace harmful chemicals. While driven by bleeding‑edge technology, the Monarch Tractor still plows, tills, and hauls better than any other tractor in its class.

The Monarch Tractor will both spur and enable future generations of farming technologies. We have the technology and the team to develop, build, and scale the Monarch to digitally transform farming around the world.

At the heart of our culture lies a mission shaped by our 6 Core Values. Do they align with your professional vibe?

If these values resonate with you, this could be the perfect next step in your career journey. Join us and make a difference!

As a Staff Engineer on the controls and firmware team, you will be responsible for:

• Delivering high quality embedded code running on novel powertrains, implements, sensors, electrical distribution modules, and hydraulic systems
• Reviewing code developed by other team members and assisting/mentoring earlier stage engineers in creating clean, maintainable, and efficient control code
• Developing and improving coding standards, development processes, and testing frameworks in cooperation with the controls team functional manager

Come join a team of deeply knowledgeable engineers that strive to build the most robust and reliable embedded systems that run game‑changing farm equipment. You will solve some of the most challenging problems in the embedded software space and change the way we farm and deliver food.
