▼ About Oishii: At Oishii, we grow the best fruit by deploying ground-breaking vertical farming technology that pushes the boundaries of agriculture. We grow fruit in an indoor vertical farm at commercial scale. We started with strawberries, which we debuted at Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare, the three star Michelin restaurant considered by critics to be among the best in the world. Since then, we have supplied our strawberries to food-loving consumers, world-class restaurants, and specialty retailers across NYC. Our proprietary technology enables us to grow the very best produce year-round, at the same high level of quality, all without using any pesticides. Oishii has been profiled in Eater, NPR, Time Magazine, and Fortune. Oishi was also one of the Fast Companies Most Innovative Companies of 2022. (link: https://www.fastcompany.com/90753797/oishii-the-tesla-of-strawberries-is-slashing-its-prices-by-more-than-half) At Oishii, everything we do works toward accomplishing our mission of transforming agriculture sustainably while bringing produce that truly delights people everywhere. This requires farmers, engineers, scientists, project managers, and members of many other backgrounds to work together day-in and day-out to innovate, while operating increasingly large farms. We have an amazing mission-driven team of highly motivated and engaged members. Learn More https://oishii.com/

We grow the BEST Strawberries & that wouldn’t be possible without our super talented engineering team! We are seeking a Senior Computer Vision/AI Software Engineer to join our team. As a Senior Computer Vision/AI/Perception Software Engineer on our engineering team, you will be responsible for creating new vision-base perception algorithms for our robots and artificial intelligence pipelines. You will develop and deploy software in a Python/C++/Docker Linux environment. You will maintain and augment on-robot and cloud codebases for large-scale deployments of robot arms and computer vision pipelines. You have expertise in AI or ML techniques for 3D perception/localization and you have worked with complex robotic systems that use ROS or other publish/subscribe framework for realtime inference. You are confident in your ability to work with large codebases without breaking production. As part of deployment testing, you will occasionally integrate, debug, and test your code on a robot in the field. We’re open to candidates of varying experience levels. ▼ What you’ll be responsible for: - Research, develop, and incrementally improve various modules including – but not limited to – planning for robotic manipulation, 2D object recognition, and 3D category-level object localization. - Experiment with 3D state-of-the-art methods for 3D key point estimation and safe trajectory planning using RGBD cameras. - Modify and experiment with current state-of-the-art methods for 2D bounding-box/mask estimation using few training samples for category-level objects. - Develop and run code experiments in-the-loop on live systems using a ROS-like Publish/Subscribe framework. - Develop features and modules for our robotics framework + interprocess messaging system. - Troubleshoot, identify, analyze, and resolve operating/hardware/networking system problems on our robotic hardware. - Participate/lead in special projects.

▼ Who will love this job: Individuals who identify with our Core Values and exhibit skills within those values will thrive at Oishii. ◇ One Team, One Fight! - Work effectively with cross-functional teams and experts in all areas of research across the Oishii organization - Engage with teammates in a humble, respectful manner at all times and build an atmosphere where all members engage in an inclusive manner - Balance Japan local priorities with global priorities and work effectively with all stakeholders to build consensus on strategy ◇ Focus - Ability to understand Oishii’s end-to-end business model and connections between financial outcomes and plant outcomes - Ability to learn extremely complex technical content at a rapid pace, with an innate desire to learn new themes - Ability to prioritize aggressively and communicate and gain stakeholder engagement, particularly when deprioritizing potential research themes ◇ GSD (Get Sh** Done!) - Extremely eager to roll up their sleeves, enter farms, and understand what is happening at all times, as well as lean in and support farm operations and facility maintenance - Ability to analyze data extremely rapidly and accurately, as well as create compelling written documentation in an effective manner - Extreme sense of urgency with the ability to help teammates think creatively and move on faster timelines and reach conclusions more rapidly

▼ What We Look for in a Senior Computer Vision/AI Software Engineer: - Masters of engineering degree or higher in Computer Science, Aerospace, or a related engineering field. - 5+ years of professional experience in industry or academia with a team of engineers, developing and shipping software, with experience writing code for embedded systems or environments where performance matters (e.g. video game development). - Expert knowledge of methods for 2D and 3D computer vision, such as data-driven instance segmentation, keypoint detection, 6D pose estimation, anomaly detection, or occupancy mapping as applied towards a robotics manipulation task. - Experience and knowledge of multiple systems, areas and programing including; proficiency programming with Python/C++ in a Linux environment, experience with ROS/ZMQ or other Publish/Subscribe framework. - Familiarity with basic linear algebra concepts, such as deriving and utilizing transformation matrices. - Proven capability to make a system work in production, with minimal downtime. Have you ever had to debug a networking or driver issue? Figure out why your robot crashed after 1 hour? Push a hotfix from a weird location, like a plane? (Yes, that happened!) ▼ Shift & Schedule: - A Hybrid work environment/schedule is available with this role. - The role does require on-call support/troubleshooting which may include some nights and weekends. ※※※※※　選考に関しまして（2024/10/7 追記）　※※※※※ 現在、こちらの職種の勤務開始日は 未定 となっております。 申し訳ございませんが、現時点でご応募いただけましても弊社からの連絡は行っておりません。事業規模拡大に応じ、選考が開始されましたら、弊社採用担当よりご連絡差し上げます。
