About the role

This role is for a passionate, hands-on engineer who is eager to contribute to robust systems that have a direct impact on patient lives.
You will write production-ready code that enables our robotic arms to communicate with and operate a variety of bioprocess instruments across our manufacturing clusters.
Hardware-Software Integration: Bridge the gap between high-level robotic logic and low-level hardware execution.

Why This Matters We don't just build robots; we build the infrastructure for the next generation of biologics manufacturing.
Build the world's best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all.
Develop and implement novel software interactions for our in-house designed machine interfaces.
Implement and tune algorithms for trajectory planning, robotic interaction, and motion control, specifically optimized for the constraints of our bioprocess hardware.
Use high-fidelity simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, Gazebo) to validate new hardware interactions and develop automated test suites to maintain software robustness.
Referral bonuses for helping us build a world-class team.
Great people, meaningful work, and a team that genuinely believes in what we're building.
Come build the world's best robots-and help make life-saving therapies accessible to all.
We're committed to building a team where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work.
We want our team to have a real stake in the future we're building.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related discipline.
Proficiency in Python and a strong command of software engineering fundamentals (e.g., modular design, Git, CI/CD).
Experience working with hardware communication protocols and a "systems-thinking" approach to debugging.
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate the ambiguity of a fast-paced startup.
1-4 years of professional experience developing software for robotic or complex electromechanical systems.
Practical understanding of robotics principles, including kinematics, coordinate transforms, and motion control.

Hands-on experience with robotics simulation environments for testing hardware interactions.
Hands-on experience with Universal Robot (UR) arms, including integration and motion programming.
Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., GxP, ISO standards) is a plus.
Physical & Working Conditions
Ability to reach, stoop, crouch, and kneel, including entering and working inside a robotic cluster for maintenance, cleaning, or intervention
Ability to lift up to 25 lbs (equipment, parts, tools) and up to 5 lbs overhead
Work primarily in a manufacturing area adjacent to a lab
Potential exposure to hazardous materials, including biological agents and cryogenics, while servicing equipment

Salary range of $130,000 - $170,000 plus meaningful early-stage equity.
