Join the Future of Robotic Biomanufacturing!

Multiply 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.

Today, 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.

As 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.

We believe the future of biomanufacturing is robotic—closed, automated, and scalable—ensuring critical therapeutics are accessible to every patient who needs them.

Why This Matters

We 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.

The Stack & The Scale

The Mission: Build the world’s best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all.

The Technology: Advanced robotic orchestration, high-precision automation, cloud-integrated hardware-software systems, dextrous manipulation, and imitation learning.

The Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

The Backing: Supported by premier investors, including Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Competitive Compensation: Salary range of $120,000 - $210,000 a year plus meaningful early-stage equity. We want our team to have a real stake in the future we’re building.

Premium Health: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision plans with subsidies for child dependents.

Wealth Building: 401(k) with a 4% company match to help you plan for the long term.

Pre-Tax Commuter Benefit: Pay for eligible transit and parking with pre-tax dollars to save on commuting costs.

Parental Support: Robust Paid Parental Leave to support your family’s newest additions.

True Flexibility: We offer Flexible PTO and 12 Paid Holidays, trusting you to manage your time and recharge when you need it.

No 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.

Office Perks: A vibrant SF office culture featuring catered team lunches, stocked kitchen, and frequent team events.

H-1B and Green Card sponsorship available for exceptional talent.

Referral bonuses for helping us build a world-class team.

Great people, meaningful work, and a team that genuinely believes in what we're building.

Come build the world’s best robots—and help make life-saving therapies accessible to all.
