We're on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that's not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work, and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other's backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small.

</ul><ul><li>Own critical automation and instrumentation problems end-to-end, from method design and system improvement through live troubleshooting on active runs, vendor coordination, documentation, and knowledge transfer.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Partner closely with scientists to provide high-quality in-lab support, unblock experiments quickly, and identify new automation- or engineering-enabled capabilities that reduce timelines for production, scale-up, and future platform workflows.</li>
</ul>
The Ideal Candidate will have:
<ul>
<li>BS + with 5+ years industry experience in lab automation and analytical &amp; process instrumentation development, MS with 3+ years industry experience, or PhD in engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, life sciences, or a related field.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Strong experience with liquid handlers and integrated workcells, including platforms such as Biomek, Tecan, Lynx, Hamilton, Opentrons, and/or similar systems.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Experience owning workflows end-to-end, from method design and execution through debugging, documentation, and operational support.</li>
</ul><ul><li>A strong drive to proactively hand-off workflows to scientists in a way that improves adoption, increases autonomy, and effective use of automation tools.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Exceptional communication skills and proactivity to facilitate interactions between scientists, engineers, and other stakeholders that span a range of technical and scientific languages.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Experience developing and/or deploying wet lab-facing agentic applications, e.g. closed-loop experimental systems.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Experience building, integrating, or supporting custom instrumentation, fluidic systems, and/or microfluidic devices in an R&amp;D environment.</li>
</ul>
Preferred Qualifications
<ul>
<li>Experience supporting DNA production, protein production, protein purification, cell culture, functional &amp; binding assays, and/or related molecular biology workflows at scale.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Significant experience with HighRes, Retisoft, and/or other advanced scheduling and orchestration systems and integrated hardware environments.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Experience supporting platform transfer, vendor coordination, user training, or expansion of methods across multiple instruments and lab locations.</li>
</ul><ul><li>Experience working in a highly collaborative, matrixed research environment where automation, platform engineering, and discovery teams are tightly integrated.</li>
</ul>
Who Will Love This Job
<ul>
<li>You are motivated working in fast-paced and dynamic research environments, with a drive to frequently move out of your immediate comfort zone and learn new things.</li>
</ul><ul><li>You like working in the lab and helping scientists succeed not only by solving urgent problems, but by building systems, habits, and training that empowers them.</li>
</ul><ul><li>You enjoy translating across biology, engineering, software, and instrumentation, and you are energized by working on problems that span automation as well as broader wet-lab engineering.</li>
</ul><ul><li>You take a pragmatic, builder-oriented approach to method development and troubleshooting: moving fast, improving iteratively, and focusing on what will best unblock the science.</li>
</ul><ul><li>You are curious and adaptable, and get excited by learning new devices, workflows, and biological contexts quickly while helping make the lab more capable over time.</li></ul>
