Job Description:

Job Description Job Description About Multiply Labs Multiply Labs is a cutting-edge startup based in San Francisco, California, supported by top-tier tech and life science investors such as Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator. Our mission is to build the best robots in the world, and use them to make the most advanced life-saving therapies accessible to all. We are revolutionizing the manufacturing of cell therapies by developing advanced robotic systems designed to automate and scale the production of these life-saving treatments. Our robots empower biopharma companies to produce cell therapies at scale without significantly changing their existing processes, reducing regulatory barriers and risks. While traditional approaches are time-consuming and lead to extremely high costs for patients (typically $1M per patient), using robotics can make these transformative treatments more accessible and affordable to patients in need. To learn more and to view a video of our robots in action, visit us at www.multiplylabs.com and follow us on LinkedIn. About the Role As a Senior Systems Integration Engineer, you will be a key technical leader driving system reliability, ensuring our automated manufacturing clusters perform with the precision required for cell therapy. You will own the robustness pipeline for our existing systems, proactively analyzing robot data to characterize performance. From there, you will drive system improvements and error resolution, leading investigations to solve challenging electromechanical issues that impact uptime. As we iterate, you will manage the validation and approval of new software releases for deployment. Finally, you will partner with hardware engineers to validate new designs, ensuring that testability and resilience are designed into our next generation of technology from day one. Responsibilities Include: Test Infrastructure & Development: Collaborating with hardware and software teams to standardize testing across the organization. You will design the testing architecture and infrastructure, build automated frameworks, and maintain the comprehensive test suites (automated and manual) that validate our robotics software and firmware. Driving Issue Resolution: Investigating, reproducing, and resolving errors across the full system. You will collaborate with Field and Hardware teams to triage failures and analyze logs, while taking ownership of the validation process to push fixes through to implementation. Continuous System Improvement: Proactively analyzing cluster performance data to identify failure patterns. You will champion the reliability roadmap, determining which system improvements to prioritize and ensuring they are executed to reduce downtime. Subsystem Validation: Leading the planning and validation of new subsystems. You will work closely with hardware teams to test prototypes, compile data, and execute on feedback to drive design improvements. System Integration: Partnering with Hardware, Software, and Field Engineering to plan and execute full-system integration tests within our manufacturing clusters. Quality Assurance & Strategy: Contributing to test planning, documentation, and reliability metrics to ensure the scalability and long-term stability of our automated systems. Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Engineering, or a related discipline. 5 years of professional experience in systems integration or test engineering, specifically within robotics or complex electromechanical systems. Proven experience owning the resolution of complex system-level issues, from discovery to fix. Strong expertise in Python and experience building automated test frameworks from scratch. Ability to understand and navigate complex system-level tradeoffs between hardware constraints and software flexibility. Experience leading cross-functional projects and a demonstrated ability to deliver on technical roadmaps. Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across hardware and software teams. Nice to Haves An understanding of robotics principles, including kinematics, dynamics, motion planning, and control theory. Experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira) to align cross-functional teams and drive testing milestones. Hands-on experience with robotics simulation environments (e.g., Isaac Sim) for automated testing. Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., GxP, ISO standards). Physical & Working Conditions Ability to reach, stoop, crouch, and kneel; this specifically includes the need to physically enter, stand, or crouch inside a robotic cluster for testing, debugging, or manual intervention. Ability to lift up to 25 pounds (e.g., test fixtures, replacement parts, tools) and lift up to 5 pounds overhead. Manual dexterity required for using hand tools, cabling, and making mechanical adjustments. Work is split between a standard office setting and a manufacturing/lab area. When working in the manufacturing area, adherence to safety protocols and awareness of surroundings is required. Occasional proximity to hazardous materials (e.g., biological agents, cryogenic materials) may occur during specific cell testing validation phases, though direct handling is rare. Ability to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including lab coats, safety glasses, and gloves, when accessing specific lab or manufacturing zones. This role generally follows a standard schedule but may necessitate occasional evening or weekend work to support critical cluster integration milestones or time-sensitive troubleshooting. Benefits 401K with 4% company match Health Insurance Dental Insurance Vision Insurance Life Insurance Partial Health Insurance for Child Dependents HSA or FSA Twice weekly catered lunch (for team members in SF office) Pre-tax Commuter Benefit 10 Paid Holidays Flexible PTO Paid Parental Leave Multiply Labs will review the benefit offerings periodically and the benefit options are subject to change to meet employee and business needs. Travel While our headquarters is located in San Francisco, CA, this position will require up to 5-10% domestic and international travel. Multiply Labs is an early-stage startup where equity is a major part of the compensation package.
