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 industry. 

 

What you'll do 

Own the forecasting, analysis, and optimization models that turn Lab37’s customer and operational data into reliable decision systems. Translate ambiguous problems into structured models that inform product, operations, and business decisions. Drive models from concept through deployment while balancing accuracy, interpretability, latency, and real-world impact.

Responsibilities: 

Data Analysis & Modeling:

  • Perform in-depth data analysis to identify trends, patterns, and insights.
  • Develop statistical models and machine learning algorithms to solve business problems.
  • Create and maintain dashboards and reports to visualize key metrics and communicate findings.

Data Pipeline Development & Maintenance:

  • Help define Lab37's overarching data infrastructure, standards, and governance policies.

  • Ensure data quality, integrity, performance, and reliability across all pipelines.

Operations Research and Optimization:

  • Model and optimize end-to-end system decision variables across the operational ecosystem.
  • Define objective functions that formalize tradeoffs (cost, quality, timing, customer experience).
  • Build optimization systems that continuously re-plan as inputs and conditions change.
  • Develop simulation tools for “what-if” analysis to guide product and operational decisions.

Cross-functional collaboration: 

  • Partner with operations, product, and engineering teams to translate data into crisp requirements.
  • Communicate complex concepts clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Support business operations with data-driven insights and analysis.

 

What we’re looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Operations Research, or a related quantitative field; advanced degree a plus.
  • 7-10 years of relevant work experience in data science, machine learning, statistics, operations research, or similar domains.
  • Track record building and deploying models that drive measurable business impact.
  • Strong analytical and statistical rigor; able to diagnose performance, identify root causes, and quantify tradeoffs.
  • Strong programming skills (e.g., Python, SQL) with the ability to build production-ready data pipelines and models.
  • Systems-thinking mindset; able to model complex, constraint-driven environments end-to-end.

Desirable Skills: 

  • Experience with operations research or constraint-based optimization (e.g., LP/MIP, scheduling, resource allocation).
  • Experience building simulation models for complex, real-world systems (e.g., discrete-event or digital twins).
  • Experience working with real-time operational or telemetry data in production environments.
  • Experience in food service, on-demand delivery, or just-in-time manufacturing / production systems.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
