(Senior) Product Design Engineer – Autonomous Greenhouse Robotics

About eternal.ag

eternal.ag develops autonomous robots that execute crop-work (such as harvesting) — to address the severe labor shortages in commercial greenhouses. Our vision is to enable existing & new greenhouses

to become fully automated, highly resource-efficient, sustainable food production sites that can be deployed anywhere on earth. This will enable local-for-local food production regardless of climate, while disconnecting the reliance on specialized knowledge for its operations and overcoming the shortage of labor for crop-work.

About the Role

We are seeking a (Senior) Product Design Engineer to support with design, reviews, approvals, and advanced engineering development for autonomous robotic systems used in greenhouse environments. This is a critical engineering role focused on ensuring our next-generation agricultural robots are robust, reliable, user-centric, and ready for scale.
