Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and train ML manipulation policies for dexterous food handling using various end effectors. Own the end-to-end process from defining data collection strategies to deploying and debugging policies on physical robots.
Requires an MS or PhD in Robotics, ML, or CS with over 5 years of experience in robotics manipulation and visuomotor control. Must have strong PyTorch and Python skills and a proven track record of deploying policies to real hardware.
Chef Robotics is bringing AI into the physical world, starting with one of the world’s largest industries: food manufacturing.
Food production faces one of the most severe labor shortages in the US, with more than 1 million open jobs today and demand continuing to grow. Our robots help manufacturers automate repetitive food-preparation and assembly tasks so they can increase throughput, improve consistency, and keep production onshore.
Today, Chef robots operate in production facilities across North America and Europe, serving customers including Amy’s Kitchen, gategroup, and CookUnity. Our robots have made over 100 million servings in production, creating the world’s largest proprietary dataset for AI-powered manipulation of deformable food. Every meal our robots produce makes the system smarter.
Backed by leading investors including Avataar Ventures, Construct Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Promus Ventures, and Kleiner Perkins, we’re scaling rapidly with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model and long-term customer partnerships. Our team includes engineers and leaders from Google, Cruise, Tesla, Amazon Robotics, Dexterity, Bear Robotics, Saildrone, and Zoox, united by a mission to build intelligent machines that solve meaningful problems in the real world.
If you’re excited about solving hard problems, creating real customer impact, and shipping systems that operate in production every day, not just in the lab, you’ll feel at home at Chef.
Chef Robotics is building autonomous robots that work alongside humans in commercial food preparation environments. Manipulation is one of the hardest open problems in robotics — and food makes it harder. Unlike structured industrial parts, food items are deformable, visually similar, irregularly shaped, and behave differently depending on temperature, moisture, and preparation state. At Chef, we're solving this in production, every day, across a growing menu of meal types and preparation configurations.
As a Senior ML Engineer, Manipulation, you will own the learning systems that enable our robots to reliably pick, place, and handle diverse food classes using multiple end effectors — from suction grippers to multi-finger hands. You will work end-to-end: from defining data collection strategies and training policies, to deploying and debugging those policies on physical robots in real environments.
We are a small, high-ownership team. We work onsite five days a week and move with startup urgency.
\nIn this role, you will:Chef Robotics is solving one of the hardest problems in AI: bringing intelligence into the physical world.
Our robots are already operating in production facilities every day, generating the real-world data that powers the next generation of embodied AI. If you want to build technology that leaves the lab, ships to customers, and transforms an industry, Chef is the place to do it.
Physical AI for the food industry
Chef’s mission is to empower humans by accelerating the advent of intelligent machines in the world. We believe physical AI (robots that can perceive, reason, and act in the real world) represents the next frontier of AI. While software AI has transformed how we work and communicate, the physical world still runs largely on human labor. That world represents 90% of global GDP, and it’s where AI’s impact will be most profound. Nowhere is this more evident than in food. In 2023, there were over 1.1 million unfilled jobs in food preparation and service. These labor shortages are forcing food companies to leave millions of dollars in unmet demand on the table each year and driving more of the food supply chain offshore, creating significant risks for US food security. Chef Robotics is building physical AI for food. Our AI-enabled robots handle the flexible, variable work of food assembly and preparation (work that has historically required human intervention). By deploying robots that learn from real production data across hundreds of ingredients and customers, we’ve built the world’s largest real-world food manipulation dataset and become the market leader in food robotics. The result: food companies can meet demand, grow production, and keep their supply chains onshore, while their teams focus on the work that humans do best.
