A high-throughput genomics lab automating DNA sequencing with industrial-grade speed and accuracy.

Lab Robotics Engineer

San FranciscoHybrid$175K - $235K3 - 8 years
You are the engineer who sees a pipette and imagines a fully autonomous orchestration layer, blending rigorous hardware design with scalable cloud infrastructure. Your days involve architecting robotic workflows that handle thousands of biological samples daily while ensuring publication-grade data integrity through custom computer vision and precise motion control. This role demands a unique hybrid mindset capable of bridging the gap between wet-lab biology constraints and modern software deployment patterns.

What they're looking for

  • 3 to 8 years of experience integrating robotic hardware with production software stacks using Python or C#
  • Proven ability to deploy computer vision systems like OpenCV for real-time laboratory quality control
  • Strong background in cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines using AWS, Docker, and Terraform
  • Experience building reliable automation tools that interface directly with physical laboratory equipment
  • Track record of shipping robust systems in a hybrid environment within the life sciences or data sectors
