Electro-Mechanical Technician

<div><span style="font-size:24px;">About the Role</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is looking for a Data Scientist to help us fight climate change with soil. This role will coordinate with our hardware team to improve data collection from our novel spectral soil probe for building machine learning models, will partner with our soil science team to collect and analyze soil and geospatial data sets, and will collaborate with our business development team to accurately and effectively communicate soil carbon results to our customers.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">On a typical day, our field team is out collecting data on farms. Raw data from spectrometers and other sensors get uploaded (once internet is available) and ingested by our data pipeline. Your job is to take this real-world messy data, process and normalize it, deal with partial collections and find inconsistencies. You’ll collaborate across the company to combine that data with lab analyses and other data sources to build statistical and machine learning models that estimate carbon stocks. Your work drives the incentives for climate-friendly agriculture.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is a remote-first company and the technology team is distributed around the U.S. This role will report directly to Yard Stick’s VP of Software, and will work under the technical leadership of the Head of Data Science. This is a dream job for someone who loves working with data, is curious about soil science, and wants to join a growing startup with literal planetary-scale impact.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We’d like to hire this person to start ASAP.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:24px;">About Yard Stick PBC</span></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.useyardstick.com/" style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> is a remote-first climate tech startup with cofounders based in Boston, MA and Oakland, CA. We are on a mission to reverse climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 70-90%, Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidence-based regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health, increase farmer income, and combat climate change. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Current soil carbon measurement technologies are slow, expensive, and cumbersome, relying on conventional soil cores and labs to quantify carbon stocks.

You care deeply about the details. You take written instructions well, triple-check your work by nature, and will follow an SOP to the letter. You are proud to do your work very well.</li><li><b>Strong personal independence and entrepreneurial autonomy. </b>If you can’t get your boss on the phone, you figure it out. You assess the situation, consider solutions, make a plan, and execute, even if your closest coworker is 100 miles away.</li><li><b>Comfort with extended travel. </b> Projects can often be in remote areas of the country -- spending a week or two at a time away from home is essential to this role.</li><li><b>Personal enthusiasm and comfort in agricultural contexts. </b>You care about farming or ranching. The idea of helping activate agriculture to fight against climate change excites you. It matters to you that you’re working on a problem of existential significance.</li><li><b>Ability to share product feedback to improve systems. </b>When you’re asked for feedback, you pay attention and communicate observations clearly, especially in writing. You document things carefully and are curious when using new products or technologies.</li><li><b>Existing permanent authorization to work in the United States.</b></li></ul><h3>Qualifications - Nice To Have</h3><ul><li><b>Personal, durable enthusiasm for the challenge of climate change.</b></li><li><b>Awareness of current issues in carbon markets - particularly carbon removal. </b>You’ve heard of offsets/credits and some of the attendant criticism of low-quality projects of the past and present. You’ve got some basic knowledge about how carbon markets work, and you’ve heard about how carbon removal is a new, exciting, and controversial approach to climate challenges.</li><li><b>There will be a significant portion of the year that we’re not sampling, and we’re interested in other skills you can bring to the team! </b>Specifically if you have any of the following, we’d love to hear about it: GIS or other mapping software; vehicle and equipment maintenance; equipment + logistics management; agricultural sales or similar; agronomy; data science, etc.</li></ul><h3>Compensation and Other Details</h3><ul><li>$30-40/hr to start, with travel expenses (including time) paid.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join us in the global movement for climate action through data-driven soil carbon sequestration! Soils are the unsung hero in the fight against climate change. Capturing carbon in soils via regenerative agricultural practices has the potential for several times more climate impact than planting forest, while also providing extensive co-benefits such as erosion mitigation and improved water quality, food security, and biodiversity. With your help we want to enable this environmental tool and establish its place as a driver of positive environmental change.&nbsp;</span></p>
