AI-powered laser weeding system for specialty crop growers
Carbon Robotics manufactures the LaserWeeder G2, a field robotics platform combining computer vision, deep learning, and laser systems to autonomously identify and eliminate weeds in large-scale crops. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first company: embedded systems (C++, FreeRTOS, UART, I2C), mechanical CAD (SolidWorks, Ansys), sensor integration (MIPI CSI-2), and PyTorch-based ML pipelines — paired with manufacturing and field-deployment pain points (scaling production, thermal performance, field reliability) that dominate the active project list. Engineering dominates hiring (16 of 27 active roles), with immediate focus on sensor integration, cooling systems architecture, and mobile farmer-facing applications.
Carbon Robotics designs and manufactures the LaserWeeder G2, a robotic weed-control system deployed by specialty crop growers across North America, Europe, and Australia. The company operates dual manufacturing footprints: design and R&D headquartered in Seattle, Washington, with state-of-the-art manufacturing in Richland, Washington. More than 100 large-scale growers have deployed LaserWeeders. The product combines AI-powered computer vision for crop/weed classification, laser-based elimination, and integrated robotics for autonomous field operation. Carbon Robotics is privately held, founded in 2018, and employs 51–200 people.
Core stack: C++, Python, PyTorch (ML), FreeRTOS (embedded OS), Docker, SolidWorks/Ansys (mechanical design), MIPI CSI-2 (sensor protocols), Jira (project management), HubSpot (CRM), Salesforce, and Greenhouse (recruiting).
Design and R&D headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Manufacturing facility located in Richland, Washington.
