Orchard Robotics is a Series A startup backed by top VCs. We're securing America’s food supply by building the AI farmer that automates our nation’s farms. We've raised over $25M in pursuit of our mission to help farmers farm more profitably and sustainably than ever before. 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. Our technology is used today across some of the largest farms in the nation. 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. We are looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to build creative, practical, and robust solutions to ML/CV software and infrastructure problems, relating to training edge ML models on massive amounts of real-world farm image data collected by our camera systems.
Job Responsibility:
Build and maintain scalable ETL pipelines for processing large, diverse image datasets collected from our tractor-mounted camera systems in farms
Stay up-to-date with current literature in computer vision models and architectures, and apply relevant advancements to our systems
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
Work closely with agronomists and farmers to understand crop biology and translate domain knowledge into actionable ML features
Be a generalist, supporting different parts of our software stack as needed
Requirements:
3-5+ 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
Enthusiasm for taking on multiple roles and responsibilities as our company grows
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
What we offer:
Generous equity compensation
Flexible working hours
Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental coverage, and we cover 100% of the premium
