Wildfires are a $20 trillion crisis. Earth Force is building the technology that dramatically increases the pace and scale of fuels reduction and forest thinning—creating resilient forests and protecting people and communities from the devastating effects of wildfire. We develop integrated computer vision systems—hardware through UI—deployed on forestry machines operating in remote forest environments. Our platform measures trees in real time, automates production reporting, and enables precision silviculture at a scale the industry has never seen. We work primarily with the U.S. Forest Service and their implementation partners under multi-year program agreements. We’re commercially deployed and approaching scale. What we need now is someone who can own program delivery—making sure that what we promise, we deliver, and that what we deliver earns the trust that keeps our partners coming back. ________________________________________________________________________ We are seeking a Hardware Manufacturing Lead to join Earth Force and take ownership of how our hardware systems are built as we transition from prototype deployments to in-house manufacturing and scaled production. This role sits between engineering, operations, and the field. You will translate prototype systems into repeatable, manufacturable assemblies and help build the internal manufacturing capability required to support our growth. This is a hands-on role in a small team. You will be expected to understand our full hardware ecosystem and help us build reliable systems that can be produced, deployed, serviced, and improved over time. In the near term, this role will focus on electrical systems, manufacturing processes, documentation, and test procedures. Over time, this role is expected to grow into a leadership position responsible for manufacturing and production at Earth Force.
