Us Quality Control Technician

What we Believe

The food-market industry has been shifting dramatically in the last decade. Labour shortage due to low wages and difficult conditions in the kitchens is causing profound structural problems. High cost and low margins are provoking profit losses. Customers are demanding more sustainable and healthy food. Pandemics and lifestyle changes are pushing new business models such as food-on-demand and food delivery.

In this context, robotics is a self-evident solution. Yet, commercial kitchen robotisation has been very limited. To overcome the limitations of most robotic solutions, we must go beyond the current exciting cooking paradigms. Not by teaching robots how to cook like humans do, but by focusing on flexibility, scalability and reliability.

What we're Building

It’s time to take robotic kitchens to the next level! At REMY Robotics, we’re building a new cooking framework, combining adaptive robotics to culinary engineering.

Our robotics kitchens use software-defined and adaptive robots, computer vision, artificial intelligence and mechatronics that can ensure constant quality, adaptability to any recipe, and operational effectiveness across an endless variety of food production scenarios.

Our solution is commercially proven: we operate our own B2C food brands across delivery platforms and serve customers daily and are now starting to partner with different actors of the food industry as a technology provider.

Our ambition is to power commercial kitchens of multiple partners in the food service industry.

Who we are

At REMY, we like to do things a bit differently. Unlike traditional software products, our robots exist in the physical world: this means the scope of our products and projects are wide-ranging, from the highly technical to the physical, such as identifying and implementing appropriate food packaging solutions for our customer-facing hot food products.

This distinctive model, combined with our existing team of experienced, highly-driven world-class tech, culinary and operational employees, removes the bureaucracy from our business, allowing us to focus on what will make a real impact to REMY’s products.

At REMY Robotics, we are developing groundbreaking technological solutions alongside a truly competitive customer product to create a better future for the food industry, for consumers and for the planet.

At REMY, we have created a whole new cooking framework that allows robots to interact with food thermal images, weight, density, temperatures, and a host of other factors. Our cooking method ties the food to the code so that the robots can execute anc cook properly. For this reason, our method of cooking is very data driven.

This position will be responsible for the quality control of our food products in the robotic kitchen. Working directly with the culinary engineering team as well as the food production team, you are in charge of all the data collection to ensure the perfect food is cooked to our specifications.

The role will be based in New York with the data collection done by Bedstuy and database management done remotely, if you can manage your time. As the quality control technician, the whole team will be relying on your results therefore we expect you to self-organise and work asynchronously with a keen sense of detail.

As such your role will include:

• Food testing and quality testing,
• Maintaining a database of production schedules, recipes, and batches,
• Communicating with our Culinary Engineering team in Barcelona.
• Production testing and quality testing,
• Maintaining a database of food pictures, properties, productions and other data,
• Manual uploading and transfer of food quality data to the central team in Barcelona,

• You take initiative and make well informed, data driven decisions that help improve the quality of the food we deliver to our clients.
• You successfully work asynchronously and independently as part of a larger team. This is actually tricky, the work is both dependent and independent. Your work will form the backbone of a lot of others' work, and vice versa.
• Everything you do is documented and organised,

• You have excellent computer skills and have working knowledge of spreadsheet software (excel, google docs)
• You are extremely detail oriented, both in the physical and software realms.
• You are a project manager at heart: you know how to work with project management systems in complex and distributed environments,
• You have a background in Chemistry, Food Science, Biology, or related science. Previous Quality Control experience in an analytical lab or sensory lab is a plus.
• You have the ability to work around food and understand food safety rules and regulations. Food Handlers certification is a plus.
• You have passionate by food and have basic knowledge in food quality,
• Cleanliness is second nature to you (this is a Quality job!)

• Personal growth, innovation and learning every day
• Comprehensive health benefits
• Competitive salary
• Relocation assistance
• Amazing colleagues and a great culture
• Paid Vacation time
• The chance to work on the next big thing in Food-Tech
• You get to pick your workstation & tools
