AgTech Field Technician - Tri-Cities

Join Vivid Machines, a trailblazing venture-backed startup revolutionizing fruit farming with cutting-edge computer vision and AI.

From the farm to the packing line, Vivid’s real-time insights help fruit producers grow more with less, making food more sustainable, affordable, and predictable.

Our technology is already supporting the growers behind the fruit you see at Costco, Walmart, and Wegmans.

We're looking for an AgTech Field Technician that will support customers by collecting fruit growth data, and helping growers understand and use insights to improve operations.

This role involves traveling to farm locations along with remote work reviewing and analyzing data.

Join our extraordinary team.

We value excellence, integrity, curiosity, passion, open-mindedness, and decisive action.

We iterate quickly, deliver with purpose, and work with people who bring their unique strengths to the team.

If you love supporting customers, the pace of a scaling startup, and want to make a global impact, we’d love to meet you.

How you’ll make an impact.

As an AgTech Field technician, you will work closely with our customers to provide the best possible experience by carrying out a data collection plan and helping in-field with the deployment of the Vivid X system and collection of fruit growth data.

You will help interpret the results for growers, and support with information on how they may use the data to improve their operations.

You will also work closely with our data annotation and engineering teams to provide feedback and direction on what you discover in the field, and how we may make improvements to data collection, annotation, and our overall sensor and computer vision system.

If you’re curious, and enjoy a combination of hands-on fieldwork, customer relationship development, team collaboration, project planning, and analysis, this role is for you!

What you’ll be doing:

• First things first: you will get full training on our tools and technology, then have shadowing sessions with the team.
• Once you are up to speed, you will have 5 main responsibilities:
• Carry out field trials to test our technology at various apple growth stages, analyze outcomes, and provide feedback on how to improve outcomes.
• Work in-field to capture images of relevant plant physiology throughout the growing season with our sensor and manually capture count and size data for comparison. You will work with our technology team to oversee the analysis and in terpretation of results collected in the field.
