Part-Time Contract | Field-Based | $25–$34 per hour

McAllen, TX

Ecorobotix Inc. creates innovative robotic solutions that reduce the negative ecological impact of modern agriculture. We have developed an AI-based ultra-high precision spot spraying technology that drastically reduces the amount of chemicals used in crop fields while keeping costs competitive. The technology is currently deployed on our tractor-towed ARA machine.

By joining our talented and dynamic team, you will contribute to a more sustainable, environment-friendly agriculture in an innovative scale‑up at the cutting edge of technology. We are a revolutionary organization with a great work environment that supports creativity through self‑motivation.

To pursue our growth in the USA, we are hiring a Regional Crop Imaging & Data Technician for the Southcentral Region (primarily South Texas / Rio Grande Valley area, e.g., McAllen–Laredo and surrounding territories).

General Objective of the Role

The part‑time, field‑based Regional Crop Imaging & Data Technician is responsible for building and maintaining relationships with horticultural producers and various local farmers (family and professional network) and assessing whether their land has products to photograph and obtain permits to do so. This role will produce high‑quality images with our in‑house developed steady‑cam of desired crops and document their evolution in the field. This person will work outdoors and ensure regular monitoring of crops in their geographical area.

Internally, close collaboration with other members of the pre‑ and after‑sales team and other teams of Ecorobotix Inc. is required. Externally, interaction with dealers, farmers, partners, associations, trade shows, agronomists, and CCAs, among others, is required. This is a part‑time position with flexible scheduling based on seasonal agricultural activity.

Key Responsibilities

Prospect and build relationships with horticultural producers and farmers across the Southcentral region to identify suitable fields, capture images of their crops, and obtain necessary permits.

Capture high‑quality images and document crop evolution in the field using Ecorobotix’s in‑house developed steady‑cam equipment, contributing to critical datasets that support AI model training and precision agriculture solutions.

Maintain all imaging and data collection equipment in optimal working condition.

Prepare reports on field observations and stay informed about regional crop cultivation plans, growing seasons, and agricultural practices.

Travel 50–80% within the assigned Southcentral territory (primarily South Texas / Rio Grande Valley), with occasional travel outside the region as needed. This is primarily an outdoor, field‑based role.
