Deere opens tech hub in Texas
Deere & Company is expanding its U.S. footprint and technology operations with a new office in Austin, Texas.
“Austin is a growing destination for some of the brightest minds in technology. Opening this office was a strategic decision from both a talent and collaboration perspective, particularly in software and data analytics,” said Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer at John Deere.
The new location enables Deere to further strengthen its technology capabilities and attract talent interested in solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges — including feeding a growing population, said the company.
“Deere’s mission has always been about helping farmers sustainably feed a growing global population. We’re looking for people who want to help create technology that will have a significant impact on their communities and the world,” said Hindman.
Deere said its investment in Austin will mutually strengthen the city’s position as an innovation hub and the company’s portfolio as a global tech leader, driving further momentum towards Deere’s goal of bringing advanced technological solutions — including automation and autonomy — to the agriculture industry.
The new office will be in Austin’s vibrant South Congress district. The Austin location is part of Deere’s broader strategy to expand and diversify its technology talent.
“This office will help us continue to develop industry leading technology and solutions for farms and construction worksites,” said Andrez Carberry, director of global HR operations at John Deere.
Founded in 1837, with headquarters in Moline, Ill., Deere & Company is a world leader in providing advanced products, technology, and services for customers whose work is revolutionizing agriculture and construction.
