About the role
Who we are Lab37 Robotics , is a technology company focused on the development and deployment of robots designed specifically for direct-to-customer food production. Our mission is to revolutionize the food industry by creating innovative robotic solutions that enhance efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology to deliver cutting-edge products that meet the evolving needs of our clients. What you’ll do As a Hardware Test Engineer at Lab37 Robotics, you will design, execute, and automate tests that prove out our system per NSF
requirements and are reliable, and durable in real kitchens. You’ll translate food safety standard and operational best practices into clear test
requirements, build fixtures and rigs (often with Raspberry Pi/Arduino or similar), and instrument systems with temperature, humidity, and other environmental sensors. Your work will uncover failure modes, validate component lifecycles, and drive design improvements that elevate product quality and guest experience.
Responsibilities Convert food safety and regulatory
requirements into testable specifications, acceptance criteria, and traceable test plans/protocols. Design and build test fixtures/rigs using Raspberry Pi/Arduino (or similar) for sensor logging, control, and automation. Execute environmental, thermal, humidity, ingress, cleaning/chemical exposure, wear/abrasion, and lifecycle/MTBF tests; analyze results and document findings. Develop automated data-logging and reporting for temperature/humidity profiles, duty cycles, etc. Run component and subsystem endurance testing (motors, augers, valves, seals, electronics) to characterize failure modes and recommend design or supplier changes. Partner with engineering and supply chain to resolve issues and conduct root-cause analysis. Maintain lab safety, calibration, and test asset management; publish test reports. What we’re looking for 3+ years in hardware/product validation or test engineering (or equivalent hands-on experience) with proven fixture building and lab skills. Hands-on with Raspberry Pi/Arduino or similar, integrating temperature/humidity and related sensors. Experience designing and executing environmental and lifecycle tests (thermal/humidity, ingress/cleaning exposure, durability).
