About this role

ABOUT FLOVISION FloVision is a remote-first startup focused on improving the food supply chain, starting with protein processing. We design computer vision and machine learning-assisted production processes that reduce food waste, improve quality assurance, and help customers operate more efficiently. Our mission is to reduce global CO₂ emissions by 1% by minimizing food waste. FloVision is a U.S.-based Series A startup with a distributed team across the United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland. POSITION OVERVIEW As a Field Engineer at FloVision, you will install, maintain, troubleshoot, design, and improve the hardware systems that power our computer vision products. Field service and installations are the primary focus of this role, with opportunities to contribute to product design, manufacturing, and R D. This is a hands-on position for an engineer who can identify a problem in the field, develop a practical solution, and implement it with limited oversight. You will work directly with customers, internal engineering teams, vendors, and fabricators to ensure our equipment is installed successfully and continues operating reliably. We are looking for a self-driven, inquisitive individual who genuinely enjoys field work, frequent travel, and the variety of an early-stage startup. The right person will be comfortable moving between customer sites, hands-on hardware work, and focused design projects as business priorities evolve. You'll play a vital role in shaping the continuous improvement of our products, services, and internal processes. LOCATION TRAVEL ⁠This is a full-time, remote position based in the United States.
