FULL-TIME
Founded in 2015, Bowery Farming is on a mission to democratize access to
high-quality, local, safe and sustainable produce. Bowery builds smart indoor
farms near cities, growing fresher, pesticide-free Protected Produce with bold
flavor in precisely controlled environments, 365 days a year. At the heart of
each farm is the proprietary BoweryOS, which integrates software, hardware,
sensors, AI, computer vision systems, machine learning models and robotics
to orchestrate and automate the entirety of its operations. As a result, each
farm creates far less waste and uses a fraction of the water and land compared
to traditional agriculture.
About The Role:
Bowery Farming is looking for a passionate and committed Fruit Production
Scientist to join its AgScience Team. In this role, the Fruit Production Scientist will
be responsible for defining and executing a program of research that defines
the growing requirements for fruiting crops in indoor vertical farms. Bringing
expertise in plant physiology and horticulture, the Fruit Production Scientist will
develop novel growth recipes that result in yield and quality gains as well as
work to identify the best cultivars for commercial production. Working closely
with a cross functional team of Scientists and Engineers, the Fruit Production
Scientist will bring expertise and insights on fruiting crop growing methods
and requirements to the design of the growing systems and processes that
operate at scale. The Fruit Production Scientist will drive new scientific insights
through rapid and iterative experimentation to create new value and market
opportunities for Bowery.

production scale vertical farms with multiple fruiting crops to define growing
conditions for optimal yield and quality
You will collect plant phenotyping and environmental data to drive insights in
crop performance
You will analyze data and report experimental results
You will communicate scientific insights to peers and leadership
You will serve as a subject matter expert on fruiting crop production
You will collaborate with external partners
Who You Are:
Multiple years of experience in soft fruit production systems (strawberries,
raspberries, or blueberries) in greenhouse, high tunnel, open field or CEA
Experience with optimization of growing conditions, systems, and processes
for fruit production
Extensive knowledge of crop and plant physiology, experimental design and
field trials
Experience in a collaborative and cross-disciplinary team of Scientists and
Engineers to optimize growing conditions, systems and processes for fruit
production
Ability to work independently in a highly collaborative team environment
Track record of impact from scientific research
Curiosity and innovative use of technologies in plant science
Ability to clearly communicate complex scientific concepts to cross-functional
teams
