At least 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in vegetable crops, ideally in solanaceae (pepper and/or tomato) - whether in field trials, variety evaluation, R&D, or applied agronomy. Strong agronomic technical knowledge: ability to assess trial quality, evaluate crop and product performance, and interpret experimental results in a meaningful way. Digital literacy and data fluency: comfortable working with data management and analysis tools; experience with Power BI, statistical platforms, or similar data visualization tools is a plus. Fluent English and Spanish (spoken and written) - you will regularly present results to international teams and collaborate across functions.
