Job Description:

This role focuses on creating the automation backbone behind next-generation lab and robotics platforms. You’ll work at the intersection of instruments, robots, firmware, and software - building the integrations and workflows that enable true autonomous experimentation. Expect a mix of device-level engineering, system-wide architecture, and hands-on problem solving.

Job Responsibility:

  • Developing automated workflows that turn complex experimental steps into structured, repeatable software protocols using robotics
  • Integrate lab hardware and software, exposing firmware capabilities through clean, standard interfaces
  • Contribute to system architecture design to ensure high reliability, monitoring, and performance across all automation platforms
  • Break systems down, understand them deeply, and reimagine how they can be used to create innovative solutions
  • Collaborate with scientific, technical, and operational colleagues to ensure automation meets real-world needs
  • Evaluate new tools and technologies with external vendors and integrate them into existing workflows

Requirements:

  • Experience in automation engineering, robotics, biotech, or industrial systems integration
  • Proven track record of designing and deploying robust automation systems, including multi-device orchestration
  • Skilled in firmware-level control, driver development, and exposing device capabilities through APIs
  • Strong programming skills in Python and C/C++
  • Experienced in software best practices: version control, PR reviews, documentation, and efficient workflows
  • A creative thinker - able to design automation that goes beyond simply replicating human tasks

Nice to have:

  • Relevant degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or similar
  • Familiarity with open-source automation libraries, such as PyLabRobot
  • Experience creating digital twins or virtual representations of lab devices
  • Background in biotech, pharma, materials science, or other R&D areas that rely heavily on automation
