Already deployed across Australia, and now rolling out across Europe and Latin America, it's giving farmers an earlier insight into disease presence, helping reduce crop losses, limiting chemical use, and supporting more sustainable farming.The system combines environmental sampling, microscopy, and data analytics to reveal the invisible.
With demand growing, we're scaling up production and developing new sensing technologies that push the boundaries of agricultural monitoring.What you'll be doingDeveloping embedded systems that integrate sensors, microcontrollers, actuators, and power systemsPrototyping and debugging electronics, including hands-on validation and fault analysisDesigning mechanical components and assemblies for both internal integration and outdoor deployment in harsh farming environmentsWriting firmware in C++ and Python for STM32 and Particle-based platformsImproving our testing and verification processes so we can move faster without compromising qualityWorking closely with production and other teams to improve manufacturability, reliability, and test coverageCollaborating in a small, fast-paced mechatronics team as part of a larger engineering group consisting of data, machine learning and software engineers, and our science team.This is a multidisciplinary role.
Some days may be focused on writing code, whilst others may involve designing mechanical parts, resolving supply chain issues, or debugging complex electronics issues.
