Robotics Software Developer

About Korechi Innovations Inc.

Founded in 2016, Korechi Innovations is a leader in autonomous field robotics. We design and manufacture rugged, AI-powered platforms like the Pik’r™ and Raek’r™ to automate labor-intensive tasks in the farming and golf industries. Based at our headquarters in Oshawa, Ontario, we are a fast-growing team dedicated to reducing GHG emissions through electrification and boosting efficiency for family farms and world‑class golf courses.

As a Robotics Software Developer, you will design, build, and optimize the software intelligence that drives our autonomous vehicles through complex, outdoor environments. You will develop robust software stacks—integrating high-precision GNSS, LiDAR, and computer vision—to ensure our robots operate safely and efficiently on challenging terrain. This is an on-site position at our Oshawa headquarters, offering significant hands‑on development opportunities. This is not a remote‑working opportunity.

• Software Development:
  Develop, test, and debug autonomous navigation and control software using Python and C++ within the ROS/ROS2 framework.
• Machine Learning Integration:
  Maintain and integrate ML models for obstacle detection, terrain classification, and edge‑case handling.
• Field Testing & Debugging:
  Conduct hands‑on testing at farms and golf courses to debug and refine code on‑site in real‑world conditions.
• Communication Protocols:
  Design and optimize data protocols for seamless communication between robotic hardware, cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud), and user‑facing apps.
• Team
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Participate in peer code reviews and collaborate across mechanical and software teams to advance our modular robotic platforms.
