You will design and implement trial planning and analysis of research in controlled environment production of numerous edible crops. You will collaborate with an exceptional team to ensure every user receives a reliable, sustainable, intelligent, and beautiful product.

• Advanced understanding of plant physiology, photobiology, polyculture, and indoor agriculture
• Experience managing lab research that utilizes sensing technology and precision equipment
