the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
$146 more — $130,146 — moves this role to Level II and 2 lottery entries. That figure is inside the range the employer already advertised.
Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $130,146 would place this position at wage Level II. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "Engineers, All Other" for prevailing-wage purposes.

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.
Responsibilities
- Working at the intersection of robotics and biopharma, you will collaborate with a world-class team to solve practical engineering challenges.
- Machine Interface & Feature Development: 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.
- Core Algorithm Implementation: Implement and tune algorithms for trajectory planning, robotic interaction, and motion control, specifically optimized for the constraints of our bioprocess hardware.
- Simulation & Validation: Use high-fidelity simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, Gazebo) to validate new hardware interactions and develop automated test suites to maintain software robustness.
- Develop and implement novel software interactions for our in-house designed machine interfaces.
- Use high-fidelity simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim, Gazebo) to validate new hardware interactions and develop automated test suites to maintain software robustness.
- We want our team to have a real stake in the future we're building.
- Set your own schedule in alignment with your manager and team.
- Wealth Building: 401(k) with a 4% company match to help you plan for the long term.
Requirements
- 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.
Nice to have
- 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
Skills
- Join the Future of Robotic Biomanufacturing!
- Today, these therapies are produced through manual, labor-intensive processes.
- Costs are extremely high-often $500K-$2M per patient-limiting access to only a small fraction of those who need them.
- As product complexity increases and the cost of failure and scientific labor rises, the industry is shifting toward automation.
- Robotics and AI are making automated biologics manufacturing feasible, reliable, and economically scalable.
