Company Description

Field R&D Specialist

California - Central Valley or Central Coast

Relocation assistance available

Suterra is building the future of sustainable agriculture. As the global leader in pheromone-based pest control, we develop innovations that help growers protect crops without compromising the environment. We're part of The Wonderful Company, and we're growing fast-expanding our science, our impact, and the talent who will shape what comes next.

We're looking for a Field R&D Specialist who is energized by discovery, thrives in real-world field conditions, and wants to contribute to groundbreaking work across California and beyond. If you love science, problem-solving, and the idea of working shoulder-to-shoulder with growers, researchers, and cross-functional teams-this role was built for you.

This isn't about checking every box on a task list. It's about joining a team of innovators, bringing curiosity to complex challenges, and having room to shape the role as you grow.

  • Designing and executing field trials that support product development and regulatory strategies
  • Collaborating with growers, researchers, and internal teams to generate high-quality data
  • Developing trial protocols and contributing to scientific and regulatory reports
  • Managing timelines, field resources, and data systems that keep our work moving forward
  • Traveling throughout California to oversee field activities and support demonstrations

Qualifications

What You Bring

You don't need to be perfect-you need to be passionate. We're looking for someone who has :

  • A degree in agriculture, biology, entomology, or a related scientific field
  • Experience thinking critically in dynamic field settings
  • Strong data instincts-collecting it, interpreting it, and translating it into insights
  • Excellent communication skills and the curiosity to explore new ideas
  • Confidence working independently, paired with an appreciation for multidisciplinary teamwork
  • Flexibility to travel, troubleshoot, and adapt as conditions change
  • A CA DPR QAL or the ability to obtain one within 3 months
  • What Sets You Apart

  • Knowledge of pest management, experimental design, or pheromone-based technologies
  • Experience with international trial standards or regulatory systems
  • Spanish language ability
  • Familiarity with statistical tools, GIS platforms, or digital data systems
  • Additional Information
