Job Description:
What We Do: At Orchard Robotics, we’re building the future of
farming. Our AI-powered camera systems collect the most valuable
data for farmers, telling them everything about what is growing on
their millions of trees, across thousands of acres of farmland. Our
state-of-the-art computer vision and AI analyzes every one of the
billions of fruit across a farm. This data lives in our cloud
platform, FruitScope OS, that we've developed from the ground up to
help farmers manage their crops with precision. Farmers use our
software every day to make critical decisions and run more
efficient, profitable operations. Today, our technology is trusted
by some of the largest farms in the nation. The Role: Are you
passionate about technology and eager to help farmers succeed? Join
us as our first Field Operations Technician in California's North
Coast. In this role, you'll help our growers discover and implement
the value of our cutting-edge technology. A significant portion of
your time will be spent driving ATVs and operating Orchard
Robotics's AI-powered camera systems in the fields of our farm
customers, collecting valuable farm data that helps them become
more efficient and sustainable. You’ll collaborate with our sales
team to conduct on-site demos, training, and customer support. You
may also work with our engineering team to deploy and test our
cutting-edge camera systems that analyze the quality and yield of
fruit across farms. If you enjoy the thrill of working outdoors,
helping growers succeed with our technology, and scaling in-field
operations beyond conventional limits, this is for you. About the
role: This is a full-time, hourly role, spanning year-round.
Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage provided, with
100% of the premium paid for by the company. We’re deeply motivated
by the impact we’re making – every new system deployed means much
less food that goes to waste, and many more people who are fed.
What you’ll do: Visit customer farms and scan their fields with our
AI-powered camera systems to collect valuable farm data. Drive ATVs
up and down the rows of a farm, "scanning" trees, vines, and
plants, frequently for hours at a time. Conduct precise field
scouting involving counting trees, vines, fruit, etc, to collect
ground truth data for our AI-powered camera systems. Regularly
drive 1-3 hours to customer farms for customer training and
deployments. Provide hands-on support, troubleshooting, and
training for our FruitScope vision systems. Conduct on-farm demos
for prospective customers. Regularly engage with customers to
ensure ongoing satisfaction, and relay customer insights, requests,
and suggestions back to our customer success and engineering teams.
What We Look For: Prior agriculture or field work experience, and
comfortable spending many hours outdoors. Comfortable driving 1-3
hours daily to our customer farms and engaging directly with
growers in-person. Able to lift at least 20 lbs to set up our
camera systems. Comfortable driving an ATV around farms for
extended periods of time, and completing a variety of field tasks
such as gathering ground truth data by measuring counts and sizes
of fruit in fields. Customer-first mindset, highly responsive, and
reliable. Proactive, loves to problem-solve & tackle new
challenges. Self-starter capable of working independently &
managing your own schedule. Preferred Skills & Experience:
Background in agriculture. Valid driver's license for frequent
travel to customer farms. Proficiency with digital tools such as
Google Workspace (Docs) and Slack. Flexibility to work irregular
hours to align with growers' schedules. If you're looking to help
make a positive impact in the world by bringing the future to
farming, come join us!
