• Highly analytical mindset, comfortable diving deep into telemetry, operational metrics, and financial data to uncover insights and drive evidence-based decisions.
• Strong systems-thinking ability across mechanics, electronics, firmware, cloud services, and UX.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; able to influence without authority in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience with food-service equipment, NSF/UL compliance, or other safety-critical electromechanical systems.
• Expertise in data analytics, machine learning, or advanced perception systems for autonomous robotics.
