Upward Farms is hiring a Technical Product Manager for Plant Phenomics [NYC]

Upward Farms | Technical Product Manager | Full-time | NYC

Upward Farms designs and operates complete ecosystems of plants and fish in vertical farms, supplying these organic products to local grocers. We are currently expanding and have recently opened a new cutting-edge, fully automated facility in Brooklyn. More and larger farms are in the works. Our mission is to heal the broken food system and reconnect eaters with flavorful and nutritious local food.

In this role, you will manage the vision, roadmap, and execution of Upward Farms' high throughput plant phenomics systems, spanning crop scouting, trait characterization, and quality control. Your focus areas will include the detection of disease, stress, and pests at scale; the quantification of phenotypes and forecasted yield; and the development of go/no-go checkpoints throughout the production process. To accomplish this, you will set the high level strategy for plant phenomics, whether that means working externally with partners in imaging hardware and analysis, or partnering internally with colleagues and stakeholders. In this role, you will join the Agriculture and Manufacturing R&D (AMRD) team and collaborate with colleagues from Software & Electronics and Engineering. You will lead the conceptualization, development, and prioritization of new features and systems, and contribute towards the advancement of plant production outcomes at Upward Farms.
