Drone jobs in France

At HEMAV, we are an AgriTech StartUp founded in 2012, working passionately on Data Science in the agrifood industry with the purpose of generating more food with less environmental impact.

We use a unique approach, based on Artificial Intelligence using satellite technology and other data sources (drone, meteo, soil, etc.). Users of our technology leverage their decision-making systems on information and knowledge generated on a field-by-field basis.

HEMAV values are:

• Teamwork: We are a family and 'fly and process' together.
• Passion: We wake up every morning to change the world.
• Simplicity: Less is more. Technology should simplify our lives, not complicate them.
• Excellence: We pursue our best version and learn from our values.
• Integrity: What you see is what we are.
• Innovation: We have a creative attitude against challenges.

LAYERS, our software, generates key yield forecasting data. In addition, it offers analytics to the agricultural sector with a large direct impact. For example, clients can improve the efficiency in treatments (sowing, fertilization, irrigation, etc.) and generate estimations in yield (tonnes per hectare), as well as quality estimates (e.g. soybeans protein quantity) for different crops.

We know that producers, the agroindustry itself, or even insurance companies and traders in the agronomical sector are facing three main challenges, with a large impact on their gross margin:

• Crop Management
• Production yield and logistics
• Economical yield
• Climate change risk assessment

LAYERS helps minimize these risks through high-quality continuous monitoring and predictions. We want to make LAYERS the core of all the yield-related decisions in the agribusiness value-chain using data and statistics. Our slogan is:

“Reshaping the future by increasing land efficiency”

The LAYERS Product Team is the main area of the company, where 13 persons are distributed in four squads: DevOps, BackEnd, UX/UI, and Data Intelligence.

Exchanging information and knowledge with data scientists, agronomists, analysts, and other experts in the company to identify, design and implement the models that will make the change in present and future LAYERS users.

This mission is deeply linked with the design, technology and thus, the team involved in the application of software development, spatio-temporal statistics, agronomical knowledge, and AI in LAYERS’ solution. Statistics, maths, geographical information, software development, computer vision, and other disciplines converge in the work of the whole team.

Global improvements in the robustness and scalability of LAYERS will also be part of the tasks this person will face.
