About the role

  • Full-time role at our San Francisco, CA office
  • Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, and we cover 100% of the premium
  • In order to analyze billions of fruit on farms all year long, our advanced, tractor-mounted camera systems have to know a.) precisely where they are, and b.) everything about the fruit they are seeing.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain scalable ETL pipelines for processing large, diverse image datasets collected from our tractor-mounted camera systems in farms.
  • Develop, deploy, and monitor infrastructure for model training, evaluation, and inference, both in the cloud and on edge devices.
  • Design and implement intelligent active sampling infrastructure to optimize data collection and improve model performance.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate ML solutions into production robotics systems.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building production-grade data pipelines and ML infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  • Strong experience with data engineering tools (e.g., Pandas, SQL, Apache Airflow, Spark).
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Experience working with massive amounts of real-world training data.
  • Familiarity with MLops software and data engineering to ensure consistent deployment of ML models.
  • Ability to work independently, learn quickly, and operate in a dynamic environment

Nice to have

  • Experience deploying & optimizing ML models to run fast on embedded compute like NVIDIA Jetson
  • Experience prototyping, evaluating, or deploying new ML/CV models on the edge.

Skills

  • Orchard Robotics is a Series A startup backed by top VCs like Quiet Capital, Shine Capital, and General Catalyst.
  • Our technology is used today across some of the largest farms in the nation.

Compensation

  • As an early engineer, you'll receive generous equity compensation

Benefits

  • As an early engineer, you'll receive generous equity compensation
  • Stay up-to-date with current literature in computer vision models and architectures, and apply relevant advancements to our systems.

Company info

  • We start by collecting the most valuable data for farmers, telling them everything about what is growing on their millions of trees, across thousands of acres of farmland.
  • We do this using advanced camera systems we build, that take pictures of every one of the billions of fruit in a farm.
  • This data lives in our cloud data platform, FruitScope, that we've developed from the ground up to help farmers manage their crops with precision.
  • Farmers across the nation use our industry-leading software to look at their data, make critical decisions, and command farming operations on a daily basis.
  • Enthusiasm for taking on multiple roles and responsibilities as our company grows.
