Junior Electrical Engineer (m/f/d)
Glattbrugg, Switzerland
At Caterra we are building alternatives to the extensive manual labor still used in modern agriculture. Today, the only alternative to herbicides in vegetable farming is a combination of mechanical hacking, flaming and hand weeding. To make scalable organic farming possible, technologies are needed that significantly reduce production costs.
Our solution: a laser-based robotic system designed to precisely target weeds, even those growing close to crops—a task that mechanical methods cannot achieve. Small, lightweight, fully electrical and chemical free!
