To advance our next generation of soil sensing technology, we are looking for a Mechanical Engineer who can design robust, field-ready hardware that survives real agricultural conditions. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will take ownership of the mechanical design of a metal soil sensor that is inserted into and dragged through soil using agricultural machinery (e.g., tractor-mounted systems). You will design durable, manufacturable components that integrate optical sensors (NIR, UV-VIS) and electrochemical sensing (EIS), while withstanding abrasion, impact, moisture, and long-term field wear. * Engineer structures that withstand abrasion, impact, vibration, moisture, and long-term soil contact * Integrate optical components such as lenses, windows, and sensor mounts while ensuring alignment stability and environmental sealing
