What We Do At Orchard Robotics, we’re building the future of farming. Our AI-powered camera systems collect the most valuable data for farmers, telling them everything about what is growing on their millions of trees, across thousands of acres of farmland.

Our state-of-the-art computer vision and AI analyzes every one of the billions of fruit across a farm. This data lives in our cloud platform, FruitScope OS, that we've developed from the ground up to help farmers manage their crops with precision.

Farmers use our software every day to make critical decisions and run more efficient, profitable operations. Today, our technology is trusted by some of the largest farms in the nation.

The Role Are you passionate about technology and eager to help farmers succeed? Join us as our first Field Operations Technician in California's greater Sacramento Valley region. In this role, you'll help our growers discover and implement the value of our cutting-edge technology.
