At Lab37 we hire builders, people who are wired to create, troubleshoot, and improve systems as a default behavior, not just a job description. The signal we look for is genuine craft: candidates who can explain why they prefer certain tools, processes, or technologies because they’ve used them enough to develop informed opinions, not borrowed ones. We also value humility and learning velocity, actively seeking feedback and adapting quickly to new information.
What You’ll DoAs 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, durable in real kitchens. You’ll translate food safety standards 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.
Qualifications
- 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).
Compensation
Base salary range: $120,000 - $170,000 per year. Actual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications. Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package; you may also be eligible for equity awards and an annual performance‑based bonus.
