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 greater
Sacramento Valley region. 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!
