Job description

4AG Robotics is a fast-growing startup revolutionizing mushroom harvesting with innovative robotics. Driven by creativity, collaboration, and excellence, we make quick, smart decisions to stay at the forefront of technology. As we strive to become the global leader in mushroom robotics, we embrace challenges as opportunities. We’re seeking someone who shares our passion for problem-solving and is excited to tackle challenges head-on with a “let’s figure it out” mindset.

About the role

As a Software Co-op Student at 4AG Robotics, you will become an integral part of our software development team. You’ll contribute to the design, development, testing, and deployment of software systems that power our robotic harvesters. Whether you're working on back-end architecture, computer vision, robot controls, or user interfaces, your contributions will have a direct impact on our technology and our customers.

This is a hands-on role where you will be expected to take initiative, learn quickly, and work collaboratively with teammates across engineering disciplines.

What you will work on

Your responsibilities may include:

• Developing and maintaining Typescript-based code for web interfaces or C++ code for robotic/data systems
• Collaborating with team members on algorithm development for perception and control
• Writing unit tests and performing code reviews to ensure high-quality software
• Assisting with integration and testing on real robots in the lab and at farms
• Supporting data collection, analysis, and visualization for system improvements
• Working with modern development tools including Git and Docker in a Linux environment
• Participating in daily stand-ups, release planning, and design discussions

Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, or related co-op program
• Experience with C++ or Typescript
• Familiarity with Linux and Git
• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively
• Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn — we value potential as much as experience

What our teammates enjoy. We build robots and deeply appreciate our humans. We move swiftly and expect a lot from each other. We build our work around this.

• We value our people. We offer competitive compensation and depending on your experience this position has an hourly range of $25.00 to $31.00 per hour.
• We value your time. We support work-life integration that focuses on delivering results not completing a timesheet. We flex to get the job – and life – done.
• We recharge with downtime. A start-up can be a busy place. We encourage all our people to take a vacation on top of statutory holidays.
• We know learning never ends. We support our people in pursuing ongoing development and learning throughout the year.
• We support relocation. Moving to a new place for a short time can come at a significant financial cost. We offer financial support to our students to help with this. This position is on-site at our location in Salmon Arm, British Columbia.

What we believe

At 4AG Robotics, we embrace the fast pace of start-up life. Innovation drives us, and staying open to new ideas keeps us moving forward. We encourage healthy debate but always commit to moving forward as a team. We work hard, support each other fully, and value agility over bureaucracy. And yes, the freezer is always stocked with ice cream!
