? Senior Autonomy & ML Engineer: Shape the Future of Heavy Robotics (€9M Funded)

Location: Valencia, Spain ?? (Relocation & Visa support provided)

Funding: Series Seed | €9M raised since 2024

Sector: Autonomous Vehicles / Precision Agriculture / Deep-Tech The Mission

I am partnering with a high-growth robotics startup building "Thor"—a fully electric, autonomous heavy-duty vehicle designed to revolutionise precision agriculture and frontline logistics. Following a recent €7M injection, they are scaling production to 100+ units.

We are looking for an engineer who wants to own the autonomy stack end-to-end—moving beyond notebooks and slide decks to deploy models that do real work in the field.

The Role: End-to-End Autonomy Ownership

You won’t just be a cog in a machine; you will own the stack from raw data ingestion to production deployment.

Your Core Tasks:

- Pipeline Architecture: Build and maintain data ingestion pipelines (cleaning, organising, and labelling).
- Model Evolution: Select, train, and iterate on machine learning models for high-stakes autonomy.
- Field Testing: Design and run testing campaigns in virtual environments and—more importantly—out in the vineyards, olive orchards, and citrus groves of Spain.
- Safety & Verification: Define and implement the critical safety criteria that allow 3-ton machines to operate autonomously.
- Deployment & Ops:



Own the shipping and monitoring of new models, ensuring seamless communication with end-users.

Who You Are:

- Practical Visionary: You have a track record of deploying models that actually worked in the real world. You understand the state-of-the-art but know what is "field-ready."
- Hands-on Coder: Strong software engineering fundamentals are a must.
- Generalist Mindset: While we value deep expertise, we prefer engineers with high ownership who can bridge the gap between data engineering, ML, and cloud.
- Field-Ready: You are excited to get out of the office and test on real machines with real-world constraints.
- Collaborative: Fluent in English; you can work effectively with technicians, operators, and founders alike.

Why Join This Team?

- Unrivaled Growth: Be a foundational hire in a company that has secured €9M in just two years.
- Total Autonomy: A self-directed environment where you define how we solve the labour crisis in farming.
- Top-Tier Rewards: Highly competitive base salary + Equity Participation Plan
- Sales Bonuses.

- Custom Perks: From relocation aid to specific lifestyle benefits—the team wants to offer what you actually value.
- Location: Based in Valencia—voted one of the best cities globally for quality of life, climate, and culture.
