Science is an early stage company developing technologies for a range of serious unmet medical needs. We take difficult technical risks, confident that with a clear understanding of the problem and strong modern tools, more progress is possible than might be obvious at first. Regardless of role or team, the two factors we weigh most are evidence of exceptional ability and the addition of positive energy to the group. In an early stage, action-first environment, the ability to independently orient yourself to the problems that need solving and then follow through is essential.
We are looking for a Biology Lab Automation Engineer to design and build cutting-edge automated workflows for biology assays and processes. Biology at Science spans high-throughput protein discovery, preclinical testing, cell engineering, and a number of other high-impact problems. A core principle here is to deploy automation to abstract away the tedious and error-prone parts of wet lab work wherever possible. Youll work closely with scientists and engineers to make scientific progress faster, safer, and more reliable, using our large collection of advanced lab equipment to enable high-bandwidth, low-touch automation.
This role lives on the full spectrum from prototype to production. We want someone who can stand up a rough proof of concept in a day to unblock an experiment, then know when and how to turn it into a robust, maintainable system that others can depend on.
