This is a highly hands-on systems engineering role focused on adapting and integrating PTx autonomous vehicle technology onto agricultural machinery for the Brazilian market.\nThe initial focus will be adapting an existing PTx autonomy retrofit system, currently developed for John Deere 6M and 8R tractors, to the John Deere 7M platform. This will require developing a detailed understanding of the existing system architecture and designing, building, integrating, and validating the mechanical, electrical, and controls changes required for the new platform.\nThe engineer will work directly with tractors and prototype hardware, including mechanical mounting systems, wiring harnesses, sensors, electronic controllers, CAN networks, vehicle interfaces, hydraulics, and embedded control systems. The role requires troubleshooting across multiple engineering disciplines rather than within a single technical area.\nFollowing the initial tractor platform integration, the role will expand into autonomous agricultural applications in Brazil, with an early focus on autonomous tractors and carts in sugarcane harvesting operations.\nThe engineer will be part of a small team in Brazil, working closely with PTx autonomy engineering teams in Nebraska and Winnipeg. The position requires someone comfortable taking ownership of loosely defined engineering problems, working directly with machinery, and carrying a platform from initial investigation through prototype development, field validation, and deployment.\nYour Impact\nLead the integration and adaptation of PTx autonomous tractor technology onto new platforms, initially the John Deere 7M, including evaluating platform differences and required mechanical, electrical, controls, and vehicle-interface changes.\nDesign, prototype, and integrate tractor hardware and electrical systems, including mechanical components, mounting systems, wiring harnesses, sensors, actuators, controllers, power distribution, CAN networks, hydraulics, and vehicle control interfaces.\nCommission and troubleshoot prototype autonomous machines, working across mechanical, electrical, CAN, embedded/ROS software, controls, GNSS, hydraulics, and autonomy systems to achieve functional operation.\nDevelop and execute engineering validation activities, using CAN data, system logs, measurements, and field observations to diagnose issues and verify safe, reliable system performance, while documenting designs, interfaces, installation procedures, and test results.\nSupport autonomous agricultural applications in Brazil, including sugarcane harvesting operations, while collaborating with engineering teams in Brazil, Nebraska, and Winnipeg and serving as a technical link between local field operations and the broader PTx autonomy engineering organization. \nYour Experience and Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Agricultural, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Controls, Robotics Engineering, or a related technical field; candidates with other educational backgrounds and strong relevant experience may also be considered.\n2+ years of relevant experience with mobile machinery, agricultural equipment, automotive systems, off-highway equipment, robotics, or similar electromechanical systems, with strong hands-on engineering and troubleshooting skills.\nExperience integrating and troubleshooting multidisciplinary systems, including mechanical, electrical, and software components, sensors, actuators, controllers, wiring, power distribution, CAN bus communications, and vehicle networks.\nStrong systems problem-solving skills, including the ability to interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, and technical documentation; diagnose complex system issues; and independently take problems through resolution.\nProfessional working proficiency in English and Portuguese is strongly preferred.\nAbility to work effectively in a hands-on, collaborative environment, including learning unfamiliar machinery quickly, working directly on tractors in workshop and field settings, communicating with geographically distributed engineering teams, and documenting technical work. A valid driver’s license and ability to travel within Brazil, with occasional international travel, are required. \nYour Benefits\nMedical and dental assistance;\nPrivate pension;\nMeal and food vouchers;\nLife insurance;\nPROPAR\nYour Workplace\nJundiai, SP\nJoin us as we bring agriculture into the future and apply now!","description_format":"text","description_chars":5101,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Portuguese","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":true},{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AgTech","Farm Machinery"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T23:10:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":76,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.843,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:24","velocity","win:mid","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/agco-machine-platform-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/agco-machine-platform-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T20:21:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31980,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":176823},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176823"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fagco-machine-platform-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fagco-machine-platform-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fagco-machine-platform-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/agco-machine-platform-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fagco-machine-platform-systems-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3042448}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"agcocorp.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3042448},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
