• Electronics, electrical wiring, instrumentation, or basic circuit troubleshooting.
• Sensors, data acquisition, automation, or control systems.
• Irrigation systems, pumps, agricultural equipment, or industrial machinery.

• Curiosity about how technology works and how it can improve operations.
• Strong communication skills and a customer-focused approach.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate with a small team.
• Attention to detail and a commitment to quality and safety.
• Willingness to travel to customer locations throughout Northern California.

Students and recent graduates from electronics, engineering, agricultural technology, or related technical programs are encouraged to apply. Equivalent hands-on experience is equally valued.

Why Join neatMon?

At neatMon, you'll have the opportunity to work across electronics, software, agriculture, automation, and environmental monitoring.

We're a growing company where your contributions matter. You'll gain exposure to the entire technology lifecycle, from developing and testing equipment to deploying solutions in the field and helping customers use them successfully.
