Job Description
Ready to make a real impact in AgTech?
At PowerPollen, we're revolutionizing seed production with innovative pollen preservation and on-demand pollination for crops like corn, wheat, and rice—boosting yields, sustainability and global food security. Join our dynamic team of biotech and precision ag experts.
You'll tackle exciting challenges, grow your career in a fast-paced environment and help farmers thrive. If pioneering profitable, resilient farming solutions excites you, let's chat—your future starts here!
Engineering Project Leader
PowerPollen is transforming global agriculture through breakthrough pollen preservation and application technology that improves crop yields, sustainability, and farmer profitability.
We are seeking an Engineering Project Leader to guide the development and deployment of innovative agricultural equipment systems. This role leads engineering initiatives from early prototype through full-scale field deployment, working closely with engineers, scientists, and operations teams to bring new technology into real-world agricultural environments.
What Makes This Role Unique
Unlike traditional engineering roles focused only on design, this position offers the opportunity to see your work move from concept to real-world agricultural deployment.
You’ll collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop technology that operates in real farming environments and helps scale solutions that support global food production.
What You’ll Do
Lead engineering projects from concept through design, fabrication, testing, and production
Coordinate internal engineers, external partners, fabricators, and vendors
Manage project scope, schedules, and technical deliverables
Oversee system design, prototyping, and design validation
Support equipment installation and testing in agricultural field environments
Communicate technical updates to leadership and cross-functional stakeholders
Document engineering results and support product development initiatives
What You Bring
Background in Mechanical, Electrical, Agricultural, or related engineering disciplines
Experience working in engineering, product development, or technical project environments
Exposure to complex equipment, machinery, or industrial systems
Ability to lead or contribute to cross-functional engineering projects
Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
Ability to manage priorities and deliver work in a fast-paced environment
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Willingness to travel up to approximately 40% to support project work and field deployments
Helpful Experience
Agricultural technology or machinery environments
Product development from prototype to production
Working with external vendors, contractors, or fabrication teams
Mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical system development
Hands-on equipment development or field testing
Why Engineers Join PowerPollen
Engineers at PowerPollen work on technology that directly supports global food production and agricultural sustainability.
Our team has the opportunity to:
Develop innovative agricultural equipment and systems
Take ideas from concept and prototype through field deployment
Collaborate with engineers, scientists, and agricultural partners
Solve real-world engineering challenges in production agriculture
Help scale technology that improves crop yields and sustainability worldwide
Working Environment
This position works primarily in a field or fabrication shop setting, with frequent interactions in stationary and mobile labs, outdoor agricultural fields environments, and remote office settings.
Physical requirements include:
The position involves physical activity including lifting objects up to 50 pounds, walking on uneven terrain, ability to tolerate heat and humidity conditions typical of agricultural outdoor field conditions in summer, with extended hours that will vary with crop development in different locales.
Compensation
Competitive base salary aligned with experience
Performance-based bonus opportunity
Comprehensive benefits package
Work Authorization
This position requires authorization to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor work visas at this time.
This is an opportunity to lead scientific innovation with direct commercial impact in global agriculture.
