Robotics Engineer

About the role

Join the Future of Regenerative Medicine

Multiply Labs is a robotics company on a mission to solve a significant bottleneck in modern medicine: the manufacturing of life-saving cell therapies.

Currently, cell therapies are produced through manual, labor-intensive processes. This keeps costs astronomical—often exceeding $1M per patient—and limits access to only a fraction of those in need. We are revolutionizing this process by building the world’s first modular autonomous robotic factories for pharmaceutical production.

Why This Matters

We don’t just build robots; we build the infrastructure for the next generation of medicine. 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, and cloud-integrated hardware-software systems.

-

The Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with offices around the world. This role is based in Italy.

-

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

About The Role We are looking for a hands-on Robotic Engineer who is passionate about applied technology and thrives in an operational environment. You will join our integration and testing team, working directly on the robotic cells that automate cell therapy manufacturing in a GMP setting. You will own the full cycle — from device configuration through full-cell qualification — and play a key role in bringing our systems from design to deployment.

Key Responsibilities -

Configure and test electromechanical devices in preparation for full robotic cell qualification

-

Collaborate with electricians and assembly teams to diagnose and resolve issues during configuration and testing phases

-

Execute test protocols using internal software, ensuring full traceability and quality of results

-

Manage the organization and documentation of tested devices and materials

-

Support the software integration of new devices and peripherals

-

Actively participate in all stages of robotic cell qualification, from setup through final execution

Required Qualifications -

Programming: Advanced proficiency in Python

-

Operating systems: Linux and Windows; confident use of the terminal and development tools

-

Version control: Git (daily use in a team environment)

-

Robotics: hands-on experience with industrial or collaborative robots, or a strong theoretical foundation in kinematics, dynamics, and control
