Robotics & Mechatronics Engineer

About Precision AI

Precision AI is on a mission to transform agriculture with cutting-edge drone technology. Our aerial spraying systems help farmers target weeds with surgical precision, reducing chemical use and increasing yields. We’re a fast-moving, impact-driven team looking for people who want to help build the future of farming.

Role Overview

The ideal Robotics & Mechatronics Engineer at Precision AI is someone who can model, simulate, and tune dynamic systems, and then validate them in the real world. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary environment alongside embedded, mechanical, GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control), and software engineers, developing control strategies that directly impact UAV stability, safety, and spray performance from concept through flight testing.

If you’re excited to dive deep into system dynamics without ego, and you enjoy turning theory into working, stable behavior on a real platform, this role will feel like home. You bring strong fundamentals in control theory, comfort with modeling and stability analysis, and the grit to iterate through tests until the system converges.

You’ll spend your days building models, designing PID control loops, running simulations, and analyzing stability (including frequency-domain methods like Bode plots) to improve platform behavior. Some days you’ll be tuning in simulation; other days you’ll be in the field, adjusting parameters and validating performance under agricultural shock and vibration.

At Precision AI, we move fast and build things that matter. If you want to own one of the highest-leverage technical risks on the program and help deliver reliable autonomy in real farm conditions, we’d love to meet you.

This role is hybrid in Calgary due to the hands-on nature of testing, integration, and UAV flight verification and validation.

Key Responsibilities

Control System Design & Tuning

• Design and tune PID control loops for stability, responsiveness, and robustness across flight conditions.
• Define control objectives and performance metrics tied to safety and spray accuracy.
• Develop control logic that accounts for real-world disturbances, saturation, delays, and sensor noise.
• Support integration of control algorithms into embedded implementations in partnership with firmware teams.

Bonus

Not Sure You Meet Every Requirement?

Research shows that some candidates, especially women, underrepresented groups, and career changers, are less likely to apply for a role unless they meet 100% of the listed qualifications. At Precision AI, we believe the right person can grow into the role, and we value potential as much as experience. If you’re excited about our mission and think you could contribute, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check every single box.

Equal Employment Opportunity

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or any other status protected by law.
