Job Description

At Oishii, we grow the best fruit in the world by deploying ground-breaking vertical farming technology that pushes the boundaries of agriculture. We’re the first in the world to 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, developed through years of intensive research in Japan and the US, enables us to grow the very best produce year-round, at the same high level of quality, all without using any pesticides. We have rapidly expanded our farm facilities and assembled a world-class team with backgrounds spanning vertical farming, industrial automation, farm operations, and data analysis. Oishii has been profiled in Eater, NPR, Time, and Fortune. If you’re interested in building the farm of the future with us, we look forward to hearing from you!

About the role:

We’re hiring a Software Engineer to create advanced vision processing solutions to aid in the automation of complex farm tasks. You will be solving problems that require creative and innovative thinking as well as technical proficiency. While you will be focused on the software aspect of this project, you will see a direct impact on the output of our farm operations. You will also be responsible for assisting in the development and advancement of other software platforms used to operate our farms' robotic systems and back end monitoring systems.

What you’ll do:

• Design multi-camera vision recognition software capable of dynamically detecting objects in three dimensional space. You will be responsible for designing and implementing the hardware and software required to perform this task.
• Assist in any other software related tasks required around farm operations and in-house robotics.

Who you are:

• Have a Bachelors or higher degree in software engineering or computer science
• Experience designing complex software systems from start to finish
• Have worked on vision systems and written object detection software
• Knowledge of machine vision platforms and hardware selection (CCDs, lens, filters, etc)
• Comfortable writing code to process images, calibrate for dimensional accuracy, and compensate for distortion
• Proficient in math and comfortable writing algorithms to model and track objects in three dimensional space
• Creative and able to deliver results in a fast paced environment
• Team player who is excited about automation, innovation, and indoor farming.

Additional details:

The following skills are preferred:

• Machine Vision/Object Detection/Color analysis/Pattern Recognition
• Open CV or similar
