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. Just as important, we hire for humility and learning velocity—people who actively seek feedback, take input without ego, and can pivot quickly when new information or a better idea emerges. We want teammates who treat iteration as a strength: change isn’t a threat, it’s how better products get built.\n\nWe prioritize exceptional individual contributors and keep the organization “maker-led”: management is not a separate career track, it’s an earned responsibility. The strongest makers become team leads because they set the standard, mentor others, and still stay close to the work. Culturally, we don’t tolerate hierarchy-by-distance, no task is beneath anyone, and leadership means doing whatever the team needs, especially the unglamorous work. This creates a high-trust, high-ownership environment where people collaborate naturally, learn fast, and want to keep coming back because they’re building alongside a crew that raises their game.\n\nWhat you’ll do\nAs 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.\n\nResponsibilities:\n\nConvert food safety and regulatory requirements into testable specifications, acceptance criteria, and traceable test plans/protocols.\n\nDesign and build test fixtures/rigs using Raspberry Pi/Arduino (or similar) for sensor logging, control, and automation.\n\nExecute environmental, thermal, humidity, ingress, cleaning/chemical exposure, wear/abrasion, and lifecycle/MTBF tests; analyze results and document findings.\n\nDevelop automated data-logging and reporting for temperature/humidity profiles, duty cycles, etc.\n\nRun component and subsystem endurance testing (motors, augers, valves, seals, electronics) to characterize failure modes and recommend design or supplier changes.\n\nPartner with engineering and supply chain to resolve issues and conduct root-cause analysis.\n\nMaintain lab safety, calibration, and test asset management; publish test reports.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\n\n3+ years in hardware/product validation or test engineering (or equivalent hands‑on experience) with proven fixture building and lab skills.\n\nHands‑on with Raspberry Pi/Arduino or similar, integrating temperature/humidity and related sensors.\n\nExperience designing and executing environmental and lifecycle tests (thermal/humidity, ingress/cleaning exposure, durability).\n\nBenefits Summary (USA Full-Time Exempt Employees)\n\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance (multiple plans, including HSA options).\n\nCompany‑paid life and disability insurance (short‑ and long‑term).\n\nVoluntary insurance: accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity.\n\nOptional supplemental life insurance for self, spouse, and children.\n\n401(k).\n\nHealth Savings Account (HSA).\n\nFlexible Spending Accounts (Healthcare, Dependent Care, Commuter).\n\nDiscretionary vacation days.\n\n8 paid holidays per year.\n\nSalary\nThe base salary range for this role is $120,000 - $170,000 per year.\n\nActual compensation will be determined on an individual basis and may vary depending on experience, skills, and qualifications.\n\nBase salary is just one part of your total rewards package.
