Costs are extremely high-often $500K-$2M per patient-limiting access to only a small fraction of those who need them.\nAs 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.\nWe believe the future of biomanufacturing is robotic-closed, automated, and scalable-ensuring critical therapeutics are accessible to every patient who needs them.\nWhy This Matters\nWe don’t just build robots-we’re building the essential infrastructure for next-generation biologics. Our technology enables biopharma companies to scale production without redesigning their science, reducing regulatory hurdles and lowering costs so these treatments can reach more patients.\nThe Stack & the Scale\nThe Mission: Build the world’s best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all.\n\nThe Technology: Advanced robotic orchestration, high-precision automation, cloud-integrated hardware-software systems, dexterous manipulation, and imitation learning.\n\nThe Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA.\n\nThe Backing: Supported by premier investors, including Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator.\n\nTo learn more and to view a video of our robots in action, visit us at www.multiplylabs.com and follow us on LinkedIn.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a Mechanical Engineering Co-op/Intern to join our team in San Francisco for a full-time co-op/internship position starting in January 2027. You will apply your engineering skills to design robotic cartridges and consumables involved in the manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical products.\nYou’ll work directly with a cross-functional hardware and software team on designing and building the current and next generations of Multiply Labs’ robotic consumables. The work spans selecting and designing consumables, setting high-level design goals, building prototypes, and taking designs to production.\nYou’ll succeed in this role if you can optimize designs using first-principles engineering approaches. We run several projects at once, so you’ll need strong documentation skills and the ability to turn ideas into action. You’ll help drive decisions on major projects while coordinating with colleagues.\nResponsibilities\nOwn consumable and robotic design projects\n\nInvestigate applicable technologies and components\n\nPrototype, test, and iterate on designs\n\nCreate supporting design documentation, including 3D CAD models and detailed drawings\n\nQualifications\nCurrently working towards a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or a related field\n\nStrong mechanical fundamentals, creative problem-solving, attention to detail, and communication skills\n\nAbility to solve complex technical problems by breaking them down into simpler pieces and executable tasks\n\nExperience with 3D CAD software (Onshape, SolidWorks, etc.), including modeling and creation of detailed drawings\n\nKnowledge of mechanical components, common engineering metals, plastics, joining methods, part fabrication methods, and finishing operations\n\nUnderstanding of design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA) principles\n\nHighly motivated, independent, curious, and eager to learn\n\nAdditional preferred qualifications:\nExperience iterating through design cycles from concept through production, including concept generation, downselection, rapid prototyping, testing, analysis, and manufacturing\n\nHands-on experience with machine shop and prototyping tools\n\nPhysical & Working Conditions\nAbility to reach, stoop, crouch, and kneel, including entering and working inside a robotic cluster for maintenance, cleaning, or intervention\n\nAbility to lift up to 25 lbs (equipment, parts, tools) and up to 5 lbs overhead\n\nManual dexterity to use hand tools, manage cabling, and perform mechanical adjustments\n\nWork primarily in a manufacturing area adjacent to a lab; must follow strict safety protocols (e.g., BSL-2) and maintain situational awareness\n\nPotential exposure to hazardous materials, including biological agents and cryogenics, while servicing equipment\n\nRequired use of PPE (lab coat, safety glasses, gloves) for extended periods\n\nFlexible schedule, with occasional evenings or weekends for time-sensitive builds or testing\n\nTotal Rewards & Life at Multiply Labs\nCompetitive Compensation: $5,000/month.\n\nReal Ownership: Own meaningful design projects on robots that go into production, not side tasks.\n\nMentorship: Work side by side with experienced mechanical, robotics, and software engineers.\n\nOffice Perks: An energetic SF office culture featuring catered team lunches, stocked kitchen, and frequent team events.\n\nGreat people, meaningful work, and a team that genuinely believes in what we’re building.\n\nNo Set Hours: Set your own schedule in alignment with your manager and team. We hold a high bar, measuring success by impact and outcomes-not hours logged.\n\nCome build the world’s best robots-and help make life-saving therapies accessible to all.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5387,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Laboratory & Pharmaceutical Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T20:35:43Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 4","filings_12m":4,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":152500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":500000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/multiply-labs-mechanical-engineering-co-opintern-spring-2027","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/multiply-labs-mechanical-engineering-co-opintern-spring-2027.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T12:13:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16097,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8440},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8440"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmultiply-labs-mechanical-engineering-co-opintern-spring-2027"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmultiply-labs-mechanical-engineering-co-opintern-spring-2027"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmultiply-labs-mechanical-engineering-co-opintern-spring-2027"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/multiply-labs-mechanical-engineering-co-opintern-spring-2027\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmultiply-labs-mechanical-engineering-co-opintern-spring-2027"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3110613}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"multiplylabs.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3110613},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
