Field Agronomist

About SwanSAT SwanSAT stands at the intersection of deep technology, precision intelligence, and social impact, uniting three powerful verticals to transform how nations, businesses, and communities make decisions.At our core is SwanSat, a leader in satellite and geospatial intelligence. We harness cutting edge SAR, optical, and thermal data, enhanced with advanced AI/ML algorithms, to deliver unmatched insights for agriculture, disaster management, defence, and climate resilience.Through KhetPe, our AgTech platform, we place accurate crop intelligence directly into farmers’ hands, covering hyperlocal weather, irrigation advisory, yield prediction, and market linkage. Through BhoomiSure, our InsurTech platform, we enable automated, satellite-driven crop and disaster insurance with fast, dispute-free claim settlement.Together, SwanSat Group builds mission-critical systems where reliability, explainability, and correctness directly impact livelihoods.Role Summary Act as KhetPe’s on-ground representative within farming communities and FPOs.This role owns: ● farmer onboarding and sustained usage ● translation of digital intelligence into practical farming actions ● ground-truth data quality from the field ● trust, feedback, and long-term engagement at the village levelResponsibilities On-Ground Engagement and Relationship Ownership ● Visit villages, farms, and FPO offices to introduce KhetPe and onboard farmers. ● Act as the first and most trusted point of contact for farmers using the app. ● Build long-term relationships with farmers, FPO leaders, and local influencers. ● Represent KhetPe consistently, honestly, and clearly within the community.Trust is earned through presence, not presentationsApp Training and Practical Enablement ● Conduct one-on-one and group training sessions tailored to: ○ local language ○ literacy levels ○ crop type and farming practices● Demonstrate app features such as: ○ weather forecasts ○ irrigation advisories ○ crop intelligence ○ market linkage● Support app installation, account setup, and basic troubleshooting on farmer devices. ● Ensure farmers understand: ○ what the app is advising ○ why it is advising when not to act Training is successful only when farmers can act independently.Farmer Support and Issue Resolution ● Resolve farmer queries in real time wherever possible. ● Identify recurring issues and escalate them clearly to internal teams. ● Provide ongoing guidance to help farmers apply advisories correctly in the field. ● Collect structured feedback on: ○ usability ○ comprehension gaps ○ feature relevance ○ on-ground constraints Feedback quality matters more than volume.Adoption and Engagement Tracking ● Track farmer onboarding, activity levels, and feature usage in assigned areas. ● Identify inactive or disengaged users and re-engage them through: ○ follow-up visits JD ○ calls ○ refresher training● Support renewals by demonstrating real, observable value through: ○ success stories ○ peer examples ○ visible outcomes Adoption is measured by consistent usage, not downloads.Ground Truth Data Collection and Monitoring This is a critical responsibility, not a side task. ● Establish and follow standardized ground-truth data collection protocols. ● Conduct GPS-verified field observations with systematic sampling. ● Ensure field measurements correlate with satellite and remote sensing outputs. ● Deploy and manage field monitoring systems as required, including: ○ sensors ○ continuous emissions or environmental monitoring systems ○ structured field surveys ● Maintain measurement accuracy significantly higher than the systems being validated. ● Conduct ground-truthing across project sites to: ○ calibrate remote sensors ○ verify spatial accuracy (within defined tolerances) ○ produce clean, annotated datasets ● Minimize ambiguity and interpretation errors in downstream analysis. Data quality at the field level directly impacts model credibility.Our Ideal Profile ● 2 to 5 years in: ○ field engagement ○ agricultural extension ○ rural outreach ○ agri-input or advisory roles● Prior experience working directly with: ○ farmers ○ FPOs ○ rural institutions is strongly preferred.Core Skills ● Strong interpersonal and communication skills in local languages (Hindi, Marathi, and/or relevant regional dialects). ● Comfortable explaining technology to non-technical users. ● Basic smartphone and mobile app literacy. ● Ability to document observations clearly and consistently. ● Willingness and physical ability to travel extensively in rural areas.Domain Understanding (Preferred) ● Practical understanding of: ○ crop cycles ○ irrigation practices ○ seasonal farming decisions ● Familiarity with: ○ AgTech tools ○ advisory services ○ rural market systems Field intuition is more important than textbook knowledge.Personal Attributes ● Patient, approachable, and respectful in farmer interactions. High integrity and consistency in the field. ● Self-motivated and reliable without close supervision. ● Comfortable working independently in remote locations. ● Problem-solving mindset with attention to detail. ● This role requires resilience, humility, and credibility.Why Join Us Most field roles in agriculture revolve around selling inputs, collecting forms, or pushing schemes with limited real impact.This role is different.At KhetPe, you work directly with farmers using technology that influences real decisions — when to irrigate, when to wait, when to act, and when not to. The work you do on the ground affects crop outcomes, income stability, and risk reduction, not just app metrics. You will be trusted with responsibility, not scripts.You will be expected to think, adapt, and build relationships over time. Farmers will rely on you not as a salesperson, but as a reliable guide who helps them understand and use information correctly.This role also puts you at the center of how modern agriculture is being built. Your field observations and ground-truth data directly improve satellite intelligence, advisory accuracy, and future product decisions. Very few field roles allow you to influence technology at this level.If you prefer structured desk work, minimal travel, or transactional interactions, this role will be challenging. But if you value independence, field ownership, and seeing tangible outcomes of your work in farmers’ fields and communities, this role offers rare depth and purpose.You will be part of a mission-driven team building systems that must work in real conditions — not ideal ones. The trust you build, the data you collect, and the farmers you enable will shape how agriculture is done at scale. This is work that matters, and you will see the impact firsthand.
