Help us grow healthy plants in our automated greenhouse

Description

Overview

In a world increasingly impacted by climate change, pollution, and population growth, conventional production of fresh/fruiting vegetables is unsustainable. Compared to field production, greenhouse hydroponic methods use 90% less water, increase yields, reduce food waste, use fewer pesticides, eliminate fertilizer runoff, and allow crops to be grown locally. However, greenhouse producers make up only a small part of today's market due to high capital/labor costs and operational complexity. To close this gap, Hippo Harvest uses new methods of hydroponics, robotics, and machine intelligence to re-imagine greenhouses and build the sustainable, economical, and scalable production systems of the future.

As a Plant Technician for Hippo Harvest your role is to assist with tasks and experiments designed to improve plant growth and consistency.

  • Collect and compile plant growing data (imagery, EC, pH, nutrient samples, etc.)
