About the role

  • You will report directly to the CEO and play a central leadership role on the executive team.
  • You are someone who can balance the strategic need for industry-standard processes with the startup need for speed and execution.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • About the Role As our VP Software Engineering, Robotics & Systems, you will lead Multiply Labs' growing software and robotics engineering organization during an exciting phase of scaling customer deployments and product evolution.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • You understand the operational rigor required to support commercial GMP systems without stifling the agility needed for ongoing development.
  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, with a demonstrated track record of building and maintaining complex, high-reliability integrated software systems.
  • Proven Scale: Track record of scaling engineering organizations beyond 20-50+ engineers. You have the strategic foresight to plan for future organizational needs and the experience to manage managers effectively, ensuring the leadership structure remains strong as the team grows.
  • Strong Technical Background: While this is a leadership position, we expect you to have a strong software engineering background. You have the ability to guide the team effectively and, at times, ship features or dive deep into design and implementation details.
  • Regulated Industry Experience: Direct experience working in GMP environments or delivering software for regulated applications, such as life sciences/biopharma, aerospace, or defense.
  • Hybrid Domain Experience: You have successfully bridged the gap between Enterprise Software (Cloud, SaaS) and Physical/Robotics Systems, and you have experience working in or managing multiple parts of the stack (SW, HW, Robotics).
  • Technical Fluency: Familiarity with modern AI/ML landscapes (vision-language models, developer tools) and an understanding of how to leverage them in a robotics context.
  • Product Intuition: Strong ability to create clarity in ambiguity. You care whether what we ship really works for the user, and have a history of collaborating successfully with external customers or partners.
  • Who You Are (Cultural Fit)
  • Intellectual Agility: You are a fast learner who adapts quickly when priorities shift. You actively collaborate with other teams to learn new constraints-asking questions and seeking explanations to ensure you fully understand the context behind complex requirements.
  • Intrinsic Drive: You are a self-starter who identifies gaps and fills them without waiting for direction. You are personally motivated to constantly elevate our technical systems and team practices, ensuring the organization gets stronger every day.
