Job Description:

The Company

Miso Robotics is transforming the restaurant industry and making a real impact on the world.

Miso Robotics is writing an epic new story for the restaurant industry. We've developed a robotic kitchen assistant, Flippy, that can perform a variety of kitchen tasks including flipping burgers and running the deep fryer. Our product is a robotic arm on a rail that fits into existing kitchens along existing cook lines and is designed to work with existing equipment alongside kitchen workers. Under the hood, Flippy relies on our platform which combines deep learning and other computer vision technologies with optimization-based scheduling and nonlinear control to adapt quickly to a variety of kitchen workflows, while achieving graceful and efficient motion.

The challenge of bringing robotics into commercial kitchens requires many disciplines to come together. The compositions of teams at Miso Robotics reflect this multidisciplinary nature of our work. We have built a world-class team and we are looking for more exceptional people to join us. If you believe, like we do, that the future of the kitchen involves robotics and artificial intelligence (HINT: It definitely does) and if you want to count yourself among the handful of lucky people who've found themselves with the opportunity to solve this problem, then Miso Robotics might be the right place for you!

The Role

As a Software Engineer, you will be working with a team of talented software developers in developing our kitchen automation system and cloud-connected infrastructure which power Flippy. You will perform hard-core coding, debugging, testing and troubleshooting throughout the development process. You will use your expertise in software engineering to own the design, prototype, and commercialization of core software. You will work closely with robotics specialists in controls, machine learning, and computer vision to continuously evolve our architecture to support an ever-increasing diversity of kitchen environments and tasks, allowing Flippy to operate broadly throughout the restaurant industry. You will also work to make our internal framework easier and easier to use, requiring less and less training to use.

What You'll Do

In This Role, You Will

• Take ownership when developing, maintaining, improving, testing and releasing software.
• Create architectural diagrams which demonstrate flow of data through the system.
• Provide support within the software development organization.
• Reduce algorithmic complexity to improve performance.
• Use best engineering judgement to iterate on code, refactoring repeatedly to improve our software generality and quality.
• Read our code and documentation to understand our existing architecture and practices.
• Adhere to and help improve our software development lifecycle (SDLC) processes.
• Participate in design review and provide helpful feedback.
• Create unit tests and system-level tests to verify code functionality.
• Performs other related duties as assigned.
