We are not actively recruiting for it at this time, but we are reviewing submissions. If a strong fit emerges and the role is prioritized, a member of our team will reach out.\nThank you for your interest in Multiply Labs.\nJoin the Future of Robotic Biomanufacturing!\nMultiply Labs is a robotics company on a mission to solve a significant bottleneck in modern medicine: the manufacturing of life-saving advanced biologics, from gene and cell therapies to antibodies and more.\nToday, these therapies are produced through manual, labor-intensive processes. 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 build the infrastructure for the next generation of biologics manufacturing. Our technology allows biopharma companies to scale production without redesigning their science, drastically lowering regulatory hurdles and bringing costs down to a level where these treatments can actually reach patients.\nThe Stack & The Scale\nThe Mission: Build the world’s best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all.\nThe Technology: Advanced robotic orchestration, high-precision automation, cloud-integrated hardware-software systems, dextrous manipulation, and imitation learning.\nThe Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA.\nThe Backing: Supported by premier investors, including Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator.\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 this Role\nWe are seeking a highly motivated scientist who will contribute significantly to the advancement and validation of our automated processes. This role primarily involves hands-on laboratory work, where you will directly contribute to improving the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of our robotic systems. This will provide you with a deep, intimate understanding of the intricacies of our technology. Beyond the lab, you will also serve as a key Multiply Labs representative during system deployments at customer sites. This will involve working directly with clients to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance of our robotic solutions, offering an exciting opportunity to apply your expertise in real-world settings and to contribute directly to customer success.\nEssential Duties & Responsibilities\nExperiment Planning and Execution: Assist in experiment design and execution, perform statistical analysis, and present data.\nCluster Deployment Support: Act as the onsite biology team representative during the deployment of robotic systems at both domestic and international customer sites. This includes providing assistance and training to customer personnel on automated processes.\nCross-functional Collaboration: Work with other teams in improving and implementing automated processes.\nLaboratory Maintenance: Assist with routine laboratory tasks, such as maintaining cell cultures, equipment, inventory, and documentation.\nMinimum Qualifications\n Degree in a relevant scientific discipline (e.g., cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, biomedical engineering):\nBachelor’s degree and 4+ years of relevant experience; OR\nMasters’ degree and 2+ years of relevant experience\n Proficiency in an experimental biology laboratory, including:\nHands-on experience performing experiments\nData analysis and interpretation of results\nAbility to plan and execute experiments independently\nExpertise in common laboratory techniques (e.g., cell culture, media preparation)\nFamiliarity with standard safety procedures and sterile techniques (e.g., proper PPE, aseptic handling)\nEffective troubleshooting of experimental issues and technical failures\n Proficiency in aseptic techniques: including working efficiently within a Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC), proper handling of sterile reagents and supplies, and routine visual and microscopic monitoring to prevent microbial and cross-contamination of cell lines.\n Proficiency in human blood processing, including:\nExperience in handling and manipulating whole blood or apheresis-collected components (e.g., PBMCs, stem cells)\nPost-collection processing for downstream cell expansion protocols (e.g., isolating specific cell populations, immediate culture initiation, or cell cryopreservation)\nProficiency in T cell isolation from peripheral blood or apheresis products using both positive and negative selection methods, coupled with experience in T cell activation and expansion protocols \n Proficiency using Google Workspace for managing large collaborative data trackers (Sheets) and creating formal technical reports (Docs/Slides)\n Proficiency using GraphPad Prism to independently perform advanced statistical tests (e.g., ANOVA) and generate publication-quality data figures\n Possess excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to clearly convey complex scientific information (including customer processes and technical requirements) to both scientific audiences and non-scientific internal staff to ensure alignment and effective collaborationFlexibility and adaptability in the face of changing priorities and schedules\nOrganizational skills, time management, administrative, and data recording skills.\nAbility to prioritize tasks, multi-task, and coordinate work tasks with others and meet multiple deadlines.\nAbility to travel to international and domestic customer sites as needed.\n Ability to stand for long periods of time and move comfortably in confined systems within our robotic systems (~2.5m x 1m, with further restrictions depending on robot location).\nPreferred Qualifications\nHands-on experience working within a GxP (GLP/GMP/GCP) laboratory environment, with a proven ability to consistently follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and maintain meticulous records. Familiarity with FDA and EMA regulations and guidance concerning documentation, data integrity, and quality control systems relevant to the development and manufacturing process.\nProficiency in the operation, programming, and troubleshooting of laboratory automation equipment (e.g., liquid handlers) and closed, automated cell therapy manufacturing platforms (e.g., CliniMACS, Rotea).\nPhysical & Working Conditions\nAbility to lift up to 25 pounds (e.g., equipment, materials) and lift up to 5 pounds overhead.\nAbility to stand or sit for long periods of time while performing lab tasks, operating specialized equipment, using a microscope, and analyzing data/preparing presentations; this includes the potential need to stand inside a robotic cluster for maintenance or intervention when necessary.\nAbility to reach, stoop, crouch, and kneel while performing lab tasks; this includes the potential need to crouch or kneel inside a robotic cluster for maintenance or intervention when necessary.\nMust possess excellent manual dexterity and fine motor skills for repetitive tasks such as precise pipetting, small-scale cell culture manipulation, and operating complex instrumentation.\nWork is primarily performed in a laboratory setting which requires strict adherence to safety protocols (e.g., Biosafety Level 2).\nPotential exposure to hazardous materials, including biological agents (e.g., human samples, cell lines) and cryogenic materials (e.g., liquid nitrogen).\nRequired use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including lab coats, safety glasses, and gloves for extended periods.\nThis role requires the ability to work a standard schedule, but may necessitate occasional evening or weekend work to complete time-sensitive experiments (e.g., process dependent media addition or exchanges, sampling).\nSome roles may require on-call availability or work during non-standard business hours depending on the nature of the research or manufacturing schedule.\nTravel\nWhile our headquarters is located in San Francisco, CA, this position will require up to 25% domestic and international travel.\nTotal Rewards & Life at Multiply Labs\nCompetitive Compensation: Salary range of $115,000 - $135,000 a year plus meaningful early-stage equity.
