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
Hands-on mindset: strong manual dexterity and ability to work physically with complex electromechanical systems
Problem-solving: empirical approach, comfort with experimentation, and ability to find solutions in the field
Technical reading: ability to read electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and product documentation
Organization: autonomy, proactivity, and ability to manage priorities in a fast-paced environment
Communication: ability to clearly communicate technical ideas and schedule risks to distributed, international teams
Languages: English B2+ (written and spoken for technical documentation and US team communication); Italian C2 (Native/Bilingual proficiency).
Mobility: valid driver's license (A/B), own vehicle required
Additional Preferred Experiences:
MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field
PhD in Robotics or Autonomous Systems
Experience in regulated environments (GMP, ISO 13485, or equivalent)
Familiarity with ROS or control frameworks for collaborative robots
