Job Description

Science is developing technologies for a range of serious unmet medical needs. We are unafraid to take difficult technical risks, secure in the knowledge that with a clear understanding of what we are doing and with support from powerful modern tools, more progress is possible than might be immediately obvious. Regardless of role or team, the two most important factors we look for in a candidate are evidence of exceptional ability and the addition of positive energy to the group. As a small, very early stage team in a largely unstructured environment, the ability to independently orient yourself to the problems that need to be solved and then follow through is essential.

We are looking for a Laboratory Automation Engineer with strong mechanical engineering skills to design and build cutting edge automated work cells for biological systems. The successful candidates will work closely with scientists and engineers to develop hardware and software solutions to make Science cheaper, faster, safer, and better. 

Role & Responsibilities:

  • Design and build biology workcells
  • Robotic system integration
  • Rapid hardware prototyping
  • Systems design for manufacturing
  • Tool design and fabrication
  • Fixture development 

Key qualifications:

  • Experience with mechatronics
  • Experience with laboratory integration
  • Experience with software (Python)
  • Solidworks
  • Actuator selection
  • Precision robotic fluid handling
  • Scaffold construction 

Preferred qualifications: 

  • Familiar with laboratory automation instruments (Opentrons, Bravo, Formulatrix)
  • Part design
  • Vision systems
  • Sensor selection 
  • Experience with 80/20 frame components

Salary/Pay Range:

For individuals hired to work in California, Science is required by law to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role.  We determine your level based on your interview performance and make an offer based on geo-located salary bands. The base salary range for this full-time position is $100,000-$160,000 annually + equity + benefits. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Please keep in mind that the equity portion of the offer is not included in these numbers.

Benefits: 

At Science, our benefits are in place to support the whole you:

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Medical, dental, vision and life insurance
  • Flexible vacation and company-paid holidays
  • Healthy meals and snacks provided
  • Paid parental, jury duty, bereavement, family care and medical leave
  • Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, subsidized by Science
