Who are Gardin?

Gardin combines remote optical plant phenotyping with machine learning to optimise yield, nutrition, and quality of food production.

The changing climate and growth in the global population is putting significant stress on our current methods of food production, exacerbating existing issues of topsoil erosion, chemical treatment, and water scarcity.

Gardin enables the food industry to tackle these issues through data-driven precision farming and create positive outcomes for the climate by domesticating food production, quantifying supply chain carbon emissions, increasing resource efficiency and unlocking unproductive farmland to be repurposed as carbon sinks through nature-based climate solutions.

Who we are looking for

Gardin is seeking a talented agronomist with extensive experience in setting up and running CEA environments to grow herbs, leafy greens and berries.

You'll be a crucial member of the science team - helping design and run experimental campaigns in our R&D controlled environment space.

Additionally, you will be providing your specialised knowledge in agronomy, physiology and control systems to the engineering and product teams to help them identify technical requirements and promising product ideas.

You will have the exciting chance to work together with plant scientists and optical engineers to test novel sensing technology that will benefit growers globally. Finally, the role will involve the opportunity to supervise facility technicians and students to ensure we grow the best quality produce and collect the highest quality data.

Gardin will be rapidly expanding during the next 18 months, and by joining us at this crucial stage you will be able to help to build our science team from the ground up and make a direct contribution to the company growth and success.
