Artificial Intelligence Scientist

About Precision AI

Precision AI is on a mission to transform agriculture with cutting‑edge drone technology. Our aerial spraying systems help farmers target weeds with surgical precision, reducing chemical use and increasing yields. We’re a fast‑moving, impact‑driven team looking for people who want to help build the future of farming.

Role Overview

The Artificial Intelligence Scientist at Precision AI will drive innovation at the intersection of advanced AI research and agricultural applications. This role is responsible for conceiving, researching, and translating novel AI approaches into practical solutions that address complex challenges in agriculture.

The AI Scientist will lead the scientific direction of AI initiatives by designing and overseeing research-driven AI projects and developing and advancing state-of-the‑art machine learning models. This role emphasizes problem discovery and ideation, developing novel solutions, and driving research from concept through deployment in collaboration with internal and external partners.

Working closely with AI leadership, engineers, agronomy experts, and strategic partners, the AI Scientist will shape both the long‑term technical vision and the day‑to‑day execution of Precision AI’s AI‑powered agricultural solutions.

This role is hybrid working out of our Calgary office.

Key Responsibilities

Research & Innovation

• Lead applied AI research to develop novel approaches for agricultural challenges such as crop monitoring, yield forecasting, and sustainability.
• Explore and prototype emerging AI paradigms, including reasoning‑enhanced LLMs (e.g., chain‑of‑thought, self‑reflection, tool use), recursive or iterative modeling, reinforcement learning and RLHF‑style training, and self‑supervised or foundation models.
• Translate research ideas into validated prototypes and production‑ready methods.

Not Sure You Meet Every Requirement?

Research shows that some candidates, especially women, underrepresented groups, and career changers, are less likely to apply for a role unless they meet 100% of the listed qualifications. At Precision AI, we believe the right person can grow into the role, and we value potential as much as experience. If you’re excited about our mission and think you could contribute, we encourage you to apply, even if you don’t check every single box.

Equal Employment Opportunity

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or any other status protected by law.
