Job Description
About Our Team
Chef Robotics is on a mission to accelerate the advent of intelligent machines in the physical world. As the rise of LLMs like ChatGPT has shown AI has the potential to drive immense change. However we believe AIs biggest impact will be in the physical world given industries like manufacturing food and transportation represent 90% of global GDP. Were starting with food with a goal to put an intelligent robot in every commercial kitchen in the world. We have signed multiple multiyear contracts with various large food companies and we are growing fast. Were backed by investors like Kleiner Perkins Construct Bloomberg BETA and Promus Ventures. We have a great team where you will be surrounded by talented engineers and tech leaders from companies like Cruise Zoox Google Verb Surgical Tesla Nuro Vicarious Amazon Robotics Strateos Built Robotics Facebook Plenty Yelp and Microsoft.
About the Role
As the Senior Robotics Release and Test Engineer you will serve as the critical liaison between development and production ensuring robotic systems adhere to stringent performance benchmarks prior to deployment in commercial facilities. The role entails ownership of the Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline the implementation of performance gating mechanisms and the maintenance of time critical operations imperative for efficient food automation workflows in every release.
CI/CD Pipeline Management
- Develop and manage comprehensive CI/CD pipelines for robotics software inclusive of hardwareintheloop testing.
- Institute automated performance gates to validate the operational speed accuracy and reliability of robots.
- Formulate release procedures to encompass both software updates and robot firmware deployments.
- Administer staged deployment strategies such as canary and bluegreen deployments for production systems.
- Integrate validation with other equipment such as conveyor systems within deployment pipelines.
Performance Gate Establishment
- Generate automated performance benchmarks to be executed as an integral component of each release.
- Deploy regression detection systems to identify performance degradation at an early stage.
- Establish realtime monitoring of pivotal performance metrics in production environments.
CrossFunctional Collaboration
- Engage with development teams to assimilate performance considerations into feature development processes.
- Partner with performance engineers to translate performance requirements into automated test protocols.
- Coordinate release schedules with customer operations and field teams.
- Disseminate information regarding performance enhancements and challenges to relevant stakeholders.
- Facilitate effective communication and understanding among mechanical electrical and software engineering teams.
System Reliability and Monitoring
- Develop monitoring systems to track robot performance across various customer systems.
- Establish alerting thresholds for performance anomalies detected in production environments.
- Create dashboards to visualize robot uptime throughput and packaging quality metrics.
