Job Description:
As a lab automation robotics engineer, you will be at the intersection of biology, robotics, and software, helping transform how experiments are executed in the lab. You will work side by side with biologists, chemists, and automation engineers to understand real scientific workflows and translate them into automated processes that improve speed, reliability, and scale. We are building a robotics platform to automate biological laboratory workflows.
This role is designed for a highly motivated early-career engineer who wants hands-on experience in robotics, computer vision, and applied AI in a real-world system. You will take ownership of key robotics subsystems, driving implementation and integration of robotic manipulation in real lab environments. The role combines independent execution with structured collaboration with other robotics experts during focused development phases. This is an opportunity to contribute to the foundation of a next-generation, highly autonomous lab automation platform while accelerating your growth in robotics and autonomy.
