Agzen

About AgZen:
AgZen is a fast-growing precision agriculture company headquartered in Somerville, MA, built on MIT research and focused on one problem: making crop spraying more efficient. Our flagship product, RealCoverage, is the world's first system that measures and controls droplet coverage at the leaf level, giving growers real-time visibility into spray performance and cutting chemical and water use by up to 50% without sacrificing yield.
We are a small, technically deep team working at the intersection of fluid mechanics, computer vision, AI, and real agricultural environments. If you want to build technology with measurable impact on how the world grows food, this is the place to do it.
About the Role:
We are looking for a sharp, tenacious, and creative Field Engineer to help with the development and implementation of AgZen's product portfolio. This role is at the intersection of agrochemical spraying, science, and engineering. This position will broadly support AgZen's on-field commercial and in-lab research and development activities to reduce pesticide use, focusing on the continual improvements of our products used in food crops. The role will involve solving diverse, complex problems as a part of our world class engineering team, focusing on installing our products on farms across the US, focusing mainly in the Midwest, and working closely with commercial customers throughout the growing season to ensure product performance and uptime. Strong communication and organizational skills are a must. Teamwork and the desire to learn in a fast-paced environment in the field are all essential skills for a successful applicant. Previous field experience is a plus for this position.
The position is based around Brookston, IN and travel may be expected to meet or exceed 50% of time during peak growing months.
