About the job

Requirements
  • At least 3 years of experience in cloud infrastructure, MLOps, and data engineering at scale.
  • Hands-on experience designing systems for automated model checkpointing, model registries, and metadata management, such as MLflow or Kubeflow.
  • Strong experience with machine-learning and cloud workflow orchestration tools, including SageMaker, Kubernetes, Argo Workflows, and Bedrock, and with cloud storage architectures.
  • A proven track record building self-service machine-learning platforms, pipeline abstraction layers, or automated developer workflows.
  • Experience working with embedded engineers.
Responsibilities
  • Take ownership of the cloud platform infrastructure layer powering the robotics fleet, including cloud infrastructure, machine learning, ETL, CI/CD pipelines that convert raw robot telemetry into actionable analytics, data discovery, data lineage, model-training pipeline contributions, and observability and reliability of the data stack.
  • Design, build, and maintain scalable machine-learning infrastructure that abstracts underlying storage, pipeline management, and repetitive environment setup tasks.
  • Implement systems for automated model checkpointing, persistent metadata management, and experiment tracking across distributed training runs.
  • Create self-service machine-learning workflows and tooling for machine-learning engineers and data scientists to focus on core logic, model architecture, and validation.
  • Build and maintain automated ETL and data-ingestion pipelines that stream and transform raw robot telemetry into clean datasets for training and analytics.
  • Contribute to infrastructure-as-code using Terraform and to CI/CD automation for model deployment, data processing, and cloud services.
  • Partner with cloud and embedded engineers to streamline model deployment to robot fleets and participate in on-call rotations for platform reliability.
  • Track model drift and system throughput, and optimize cloud compute costs.
  • Build systems consumed by product teams, including data scientists training models, kitchen operations teams viewing dashboards, and engineers deploying machine-learning models to robots.

About the company

Lab37 builds robotics and software for automated food assembly in restaurants and food production. Its flagship system, Bowl Builder, runs the makeline from bowl dispensing and ingredient portioning through lid application, labeling, and bagging. It uses thermally controlled dispensers, integrates with point-of-sale and delivery systems, and supports configurable recipes and customer modifications. The modular setup is designed for deployment across multiple locations and a range of bowl-based meals and ingredients. Compared with others, Lab37 focuses on end-to-end kitchen infrastructure that links robotics with software, POS and delivery, enabling higher throughput, consistency, and easier scale across sites. Its goal is to help operators address labour shortages, reduce order errors, and improve margins by automating the meal assembly process.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Lab37 says Bowl Builder is already operating across U.S. restaurants in 2026.
  • The company’s site claims 300 bowls hourly and 40%+ labor reduction.
  • Atoms’ $1.7 billion funding in 2026 gives Lab37 capital for manufacturing and sales.

What critics are saying

  • CloudKitchens cut staff and closed sites in 2023, 2024, and Oakland in 2025.
  • Lab37 still discloses no system count, customer list, or audited unit economics.
  • If chain adoption stalls, Lab37 remains a demo product inside Kalanick’s unproven Atoms stack.

What makes Lab37 Robotics unique

  • Lab37’s Bowl Builder automates bowl assembly end-to-end, from dispense to bag close.
  • The system integrates POS and delivery orders, matching restaurant workflows rather than standalone robotics.
  • Atoms backs Lab37 with CloudKitchens facilities, creating real-world testing and deployment infrastructure.
