Manufacturing Engineer

Our Company Miso Robotics is transforming the food industry, and making lives better. We've developed an AI-powered kitchen robot named Flippy which automates the most repetitive of kitchen tasks, such as operating a deep fryer.

Flippy is fun to watch, but under the hood, he’s powered by a sophisticated AI platform all driven by our proprietary deep learning experience and patented technologies.

Miso is a well known first-mover in kitchen automation, AI, and robotics. The company has raised over $100 million from crowdfunding, which we believe makes it THE most successful crowdfunding story in history.

It has successfully piloted its products with the most prominent global brands in food, and now it’s time for the company to partner with institutional capital and super-charge the commercialization of what we do.

The challenge of bringing AI and robotics into commercial kitchens requires many disciplines to work together, and the composition of our teams at Miso reflects this multidisciplinary approach.

We’re proud to have built a world-class team, and we’re looking for more exceptional people to join us. If you believe, like we do, that the future of the kitchen involves artificial intelligence and robots (HINT : It definitely does!), and if you want to count yourself among the handful of amazing people on the leading edge of creating them, then Miso Robotics may be the right place for you! Our Values We live with a TEAM mindset - we win together.

We work relentlessly together to solve issues. We use polite and direct candor - ego has no place here. We operate with rigor - superb execution is a core skill.

We are bought in, each of us is dedicated to the mission. Innovation is in our blood - we are intrepid. We think big and we’re here to make an impact.

Benefits We Offer Company equity Flexible Vacation Comprehensive benefits 401K plan Accelerated growth opportunities Free snacks from our robot chefs The Role As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will use your expertise to develop and commercialize systems for our robotic kitchen assistants.

Our robotic kitchen assistant consists of several integrated electro-mechanical sub-assemblies. We are looking for someone who has experience bringing a physical product from design to large scale production.

The pay range for this position is $90,000 - $120,000 + equity + benefits. Since the company is pre-revenue, we all view our equity as being a key driver of why we choose to work at Miso.
