Supply Chain Manager

MISO develops technology that elevates human lives in the commercial kitchen.

We’re engineering production-ready robotic systems that tightly integrate perception, real-time decision making, and electromechanical controls to automate the most dangerous, least desirable tasks in food preparation. That means building software that understands the physical world as it actually behaves, and hardware that can execute precisely in the face of chaos. Success is measured in uptime, throughput, and trust from our customers, not demos.

Our flagship platform, Flippy, is already operating in high-volume restaurant kitchens across seven states. Zippy, our Kitchen Intelligence software centralizes all operational data in our broader ecosystem, expanding the role of AI enabled autonomy in real-world operations. Backed by industry leaders, including Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), Miso combines the stability of a proven commercial product with the technical depth and ambition of a company passionately innovating to solve foundational problems in robotics and restaurant operations.

If you’re excited by hard constraints, real customers, and the challenge of making software and machines perform reliably where failure isn’t an option, you’ll find meaningful problems to work on here.

We are looking for an experienced Supply Chain Manager to help scale the hardware behind our next generation of intelligent kitchen automation.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who knows how to build and manage supply chains for complex hardware products in a fast-moving environment. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, and operations to ensure we have the right parts, suppliers, processes, and production capacity to take our robotic systems from engineering builds to reliable, repeatable production.

We’re particularly interested in people who have worked in robotics, aerospace, autonomous vehicles, advanced manufacturing, or other complex hardware environments, especially those who have helped a startup navigate the transition from prototype and NPI into scaled production.

You should be equally comfortable digging into a BOM with an engineer, negotiating with a critical supplier, resolving a shortage, challenging a quote, and building the systems and processes that prevent the next fire before it starts.

• Own supply chain strategy and execution across Miso’s robotic hardware products, from development and NPI through production and deployment.
• Manage sourcing, procurement, material planning, inventory, logistics, and supplier performance across a complex electromechanical BOM.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Finance, and Operations to translate product and production plans into actionable supply requirements.
• Develop and manage strategic suppliers and contract manufacturing partners across mechanical, electrical, fabricated, machined, and off‑the‑shelf components.
• Lead supplier selection, RFQs, negotiations, contracting, and ongoing supplier performance management.
• Identify and mitigate supply risks including long lead times, single‑source components, capacity constraints, quality issues, and obsolescence.
• Drive cost‑down and value‑engineering initiatives in partnership with engineering without compromising product quality or reliability.
• Support NPI builds, engineering changes, BOM releases, production ramps, and transitions from prototype to repeatable manufacturing.
• Establish appropriate inventory strategies, safety stocks, reorder points, and material planning processes as production volumes grow.
• Build and track meaningful supply chain KPIs around cost, quality, delivery, inventory, lead time, and supplier performance.
• Improve the systems, tools, and processes Miso uses to plan and manage its supply chain, including effective utilization of Net Suite and related systems.
• Solve problems quickly. We’re a hardware startup, and sometimes the job is building a strategic sourcing roadmap; other times it’s figuring out how to get a critical component into the building by Friday.

• 5+ years of supply chain, sourcing, procurement, or manufacturing operations experience…
