<p>Our Company</p> <p>MISO develops technology that elevates human potential in the commercial kitchen.</p> <p>We're engineering production-ready robotic systems that tightly integrate perception, real-time</p> <p>decision-making, and electromechanical controls to automate the most dangerous, least desirable</p> <p>tasks in food preparation. That means building software that understands the physical world as it</p> <p>actually behaves, and hardware that can execute precisely in the face of chaos. Success is</p> <p>measured in uptime, throughput, and trust from our customers, not demos.</p> <p>Our flagship platform, Flippy, is already operating in high-volume restaurant kitchens across seven</p> <p>states. Zippy, our Kitchen Intelligence software centralizes all operational data in our broader</p> <p>ecosystem, expanding the role of AI-enabled autonomy in real-world operations. We recently acquired Zignyl, the restaurant operations system, to accelerate the work we've done on the Intelligence layer, and to build an entire restaurant operating ecosytem.</p> <p>Backed by industry leaders, including Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), Miso combines the stability of a</p> <p>commercial product with the technical depth and ambition of a company passionately innovating</p> <p>to solve foundational problems in robotics and restaurant operations.</p> <p>If you're excited by hard constraints, real customers, and the challenge of making machines</p> <p>perform reliably where failure isn't an option, you'll find meaningful problems to work on here.</p> <p>The Role</p> <p>The Manufacturing Engineer is a high-impact, hands-on role focused on the transition of Flippy</p> <p>from internal rapid development to volume contract manufacturing. As we scale to meet</p> <p>increasing demand, you will be the primary technical bridge between Miso's R&D team and our</p> <p>external manufacturing partners. You will own the "how" of production-turning complex AI-</p> <p>powered robotic designs into repeatable, high-quality hardware at scale.</p> <p>This role requires a unique blend of technical rigor and project leadership. You will be responsible</p> <p>for bringing up our contract manufacturing (CM) partner, validating their processes, and ensuring</p> <p>that every Flippy unit meets our strict standards for uptime and reliability. From optimizing</p> <p>assembly lines to managing the manufacturing value chain, you will ensure that Miso's hardware</p> <p>delivery keeps pace with our software's intelligence.</p> <p>Key Responsibilities</p> <p>? Contract Manufacturing Leadership: Lead the technical bring-up of contract</p> <p>manufacturing partners, including site audits, process validation, and the establishment of</p> <p>Quality Control (QC) standards.</p> <p>? New Product Introduction (NPI): Own the transition of new designs from R&D to the</p> <p>production floor, ensuring seamless handoffs and rapid resolution of manufacturing</p> <p>hurdles.</p> <p>? Process Development: Develop and optimize logical process flows, breaking down the</p> <p>complex Flippy system into efficient sub-assemblies and sub-processes.</p> <p>? Manufacturing Documentation: Create and maintain comprehensive Manufacturing</p> <p>Instructions (MIs), assembly procedures, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).</p> <p>? DFx Feedback Loop: Provide critical Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and Design for</p> <p>Assembly (DfA) feedback to the mechanical and electrical engineering teams to reduce</p> <p>cost and assembly time.</p> <p>? Tooling & Fixturing: Design, qualify, and deploy manufacturing jigs, fixtures, and</p> <p>automated test equipment (ATE) to ensure repeatable assembly and high yield.</p> <p>? Change Management: Manage and issue Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and deviations,</p> <p>ensuring the CM partner is always building to the latest validated revision.</p> <p>? Quality & Reliability: Utilize DFMEA/PFMEA to identify risks in the assembly process; drive</p> <p>root-cause analysis for any production failures or field returns.</p> <p>? Hands-on Prototyping: Work directly with technicians and R&D engineers to build</p> <p>prototype hardware, using those builds to refine the eventual mass-production process.</p> <p>Qualifications</p> <p>? Experience: 5+ years of industry experience in manufacturing engineering, NPI, or</p> <p>hardware production. Experience with complex electromechanical systems or robotics is</p> <p>highly preferred.</p> <p>? CM Management: Proven track record of working with external contract manufacturers to</p> <p>scale production from low to high volume.</p> <p>? Technical Fundamentals: Deep understanding of manufacturing processes (sheet metal,</p> <p>CNC, injection molding, PCBA assembly, and wire harnessing).</p> <p>? Quality Tools: Strong proficiency in GD&T, tolerance stacks, and the application of PFMEA</p> <p>to mitigate production risks.</p> <p>? Software Proficiency: Experience using Onshape and/or Solidworks. Familiarity with PLM</p> <p>systems for BOM management and ECO tracking.</p> <p>? Problem Solving: A "fixer" mentality-you enjoy being on the shop floor, diagnosing line</p> <p>bottlenecks, and solving mechanical puzzles in real-time.</p> <p>? Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex technical requirements into clear</p> <p>instructions for third-party vendors and partners.</p> <p>Compensation</p> <p>$135,000-$150,000 Annually + Benefits</p> <p>The stated compensation range reflects only the targeted base salary range for candidates</p> <p>residing in the Los Angeles Metro area and excludes additional earnings such as bonus and</p> <p>benefits. If your salary requirements fall outside of the range, we still encourage you to apply.</p> <p>At Miso Robotics, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace</p> <p>where every team member is valued and respected. We believe that diversity in our team drives</p> <p>innovation and creativity, which is why we strive to create a welcoming environment for everyone,</p> <p>regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability,</p> <p>age, or veteran status.</p>
