Principal Hardware Engineer

Full-time

arable

About Arable

At Arable, our goal is to connect the world’s farms to help optimize the global food system. As we work to feed a growing population while reducing our impact on natural resources, we believe a critical part of the solution is digitizing the analog world with high-fidelity data that helps food producers optimize their operations.

Our work helps improve the lives of farmers and contributes to securing the global food supply for decades to come.

Examples of Our Work:

  • Helping farmers maximize ROI through precision irrigation and data-driven water management.

  • Supporting leading agricultural and technology partners in meeting sustainability and climate resilience goals.

  • Equipping growers with insights to improve decision-making, reduce waste, and enhance yields across diverse cropping systems.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on hardware engineer to drive the development of our hardware ecosystem, including the Arable Mark 3 and future sensing platforms.

This role centers on individual technical contribution and ownership across the hardware product lifecycle—from design and prototyping through production and field performance. You will work directly on engineering challenges while providing technical leadership, mentoring colleagues, and collaborating closely with internal teams and external partners.

This is an opportunity for an engineer who enjoys staying close to the work while helping shape the technical direction of sensing products used by growers around the world.
