Job Description
We serve the agricultural industry with revolutionary computer-vision and deep learning based equipment. These machines are changing the future of farming by enabling farmers to optimize every plant in their fields. Our technology dramatically reduces the amount of chemicals used, improves farmer profitability, and captures valuable plant-by-plant data.
We have over 70 people on our team who come from diverse backgrounds in robotics, computer vision, machine learning, agriculture and business. As a pioneer in the space we have designed and deployed See & Spray machines that apply pesticide only where needed, reducing herbicide use by 90%.
In September, 2017, we were acquired by John Deere & Company, a Fortune 500 company that brings 180 years of experience in designing, manufacturing, and distributing innovative products to farmers. While we continue to operate as an independently-run subsidiary, this new partnership will greatly expand the breadth of our team's innovations, reduce risk, and accelerate our joint vision for the future of farming.
