Biosystems Engineering Specialist

About the role

Biosystems Engineering Specialist is responsible for leading the end-to-end design and implementation of farm engineering projects by integrating smart farming technologies, mechanization standardization, and digital phenotyping. This role aims to bridge modern engineering with plant science, optimizing operational efficiency, crop trial accuracy, and sustainable infrastructure to add value to the company's agricultural operations.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end design of farm engineering projects, optimizing precision irrigation, smart greenhouse automation, and fertigation systems.
• Establish testing protocols for emerging Ag-Tech (IoT, sensors) and design water-energy-efficient, circular waste.
• Drive the adoption of Harmonized Mechanization Index (HMI) and manage machinery (Alsintan) optimization through MIS reporting.
• Development drone/camera-based remote sensing (RGB/Multispectral) and sensor arrays for automated plant phenotyping and trial monitoring.
• Collaborate with Breeders, Agronomists, Plant physiologist and Data Scientists to align engineering designs.

About you

• Ph.D. with 1+ year exp. or Master’s with 2–3+ years exp. in Agricultural/Biosystems Engineering (with proven scientific writing).
• Deep expertise in plant physiology-engineering interactions, field/greenhouse experimental design, and complex data analysis.
• Proficient in AutoCAD, MATLAB, SolidWorks, GIS, and Data Processing software.
• Hands-on literacy in precision Ag-Tech: IoT, remote sensing, automated control, and digital phenotyping interpretation.
• Strong leadership, communication, and SOP documentation skills with absolute scientific integrity.
• Willing to travel frequently and open to relocation based in Purwakarta, West Java
