Full job description

About the Role:

- Full-time, remote role with frequent travel (approximately 50% farm-based, 50% work-from-home).

- Frequent flying/driving/hotel stays near farms, typically involving scenic drives of 1-3 hours to customer fields (all travel expenses fully covered by the company).

- Many opportunities to directly influence product development.

- Perfect if you are a hardcore engineer who also loves nature.

- Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, and we cover 100% of the premium.

- Our team is close-knit & highly driven, you'll work directly with our CEO and entire team.

- We're deeply motivated by the impact we're making - every line of code written or new system built means less food that goes to waste, and more people who are fed.

What You'll Do:

- Deploy, debug, and develop the next generation(s) of our advanced, tractor-mounted camera systems at customer sites, ensuring they perform exceptionally in diverse farm environments.

- Work closely with our farmers to deeply understand their operational needs, gather insights, and translate their feedback into real improvements.

- Partner with our sales team during customer demonstrations to showcase Orchard's technology to new farmers.

- Innovate and prototype creative solutions to unique problems encountered in the field, leveraging your robotics and engineering expertise.

- Be a generalist, supporting different parts of our software and hardware stack if needed.

What Makes You a Good Fit:

- 1-3 years of relevant experience in industry or academia.

- Strong technical skills in robotics (Python, C++, embedded hardware, computer vision, localization, sensor fusion, or robotics hardware).

- You don't mind frequent travel, spending time out in the fields, and love the outdoors.

- Self-motivated, able to solve problems independently and thrive in unstructured environments.

- Excellent interpersonal skills and genuine excitement about engaging with customers.

- Must not have allergies to common agricultural products (nuts, apples, grapes, strawberries, blueberries)

Bonus Points:

- Experience optimizing robotics algorithms for embedded platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson).

- Familiarity with agriculture or outdoor equipment.

- Previous startup, outdoor adventure, or field deployment experience.

If you're looking to help make a positive impact in the world by building the future of farming, come join us!
