Automation and Agentic Science Engineer

As an Automation Engineer, you will build automation pipelines to enable key research programs to move as quickly as possible. The role will leverage your existing technical and scientific expertise while requiring you to rapidly learn new scientific domains and develop new experimental capabilities. You will collaborate closely with program leads, project scientists, data scientists and engineers to co-design, implement and scale research pipelines. You will lead and perform work as an individual, and may recruit additional team members as needed to support it.

Merge is tackling some of the most audacious problems in molecular engineering, synthetic biology and neuroscience. Our Research Platform Team builds the experimental capabilities needed to solve these problems with very high speed and rigor. The instruments and pipelines the team builds accelerate molecular assembly, protein expression, mammalian cell culture, advanced microscopy, sequencing, as well as some very unusual custom methods.
