Senior Systems Integration Engineer

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. Now we build the world’s best robots to make life‑saving therapies accessible to all. About the Role As 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 analyze robot data to characterize performance, drive system improvements and error resolution, and lead investigations to solve challenging electromechanical issues that impact uptime. You will manage the validation and approval of new software releases for deployment, and partner with hardware engineers to validate new designs, ensuring testability and resilience are built into our next‑generation technology from day one. Responsibilities Collaborate with hardware and software teams to standardize testing across the organization. Design the testing architecture and infrastructure, build automated frameworks, and maintain comprehensive test suites (automated and manual) that validate our robotics software and firmware. Investigate, reproduce, and resolve errors across the full system. Collaborate with Field and Hardware teams to triage failures and analyze logs, taking ownership of the validation process to push fixes through to implementation. Proactively analyze cluster performance data to identify failure patterns. Champion the reliability roadmap, determine which system improvements to prioritize, and ensure they are executed to reduce downtime. Lead the planning and validation of new subsystems. Work closely with hardware teams to test prototypes, compile data, and execute on feedback to drive design improvements. Partner with Hardware, Software, and Field Engineering to plan and execute full‑system integration tests within our manufacturing clusters. Contribute 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 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; specifically, 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 and 5 pounds overhead. Manual dexterity required for using hand tools, cabling, and making mechanical adjustments. Work split between a standard office setting and a manufacturing/lab area; plus adherence to safety protocols and awareness of surroundings in the latter. Occasional proximity to hazardous materials (e.g., biological agents, cryogenic materials); 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. Standard schedule but may require occasional evening or weekend work to support critical cluster integration milestones or time‑sensitive troubleshooting. Benefits & Compensation Competitive Compensation: Salary range of $120,000 - $210,000 per year plus meaningful early‑stage equity. Premium Health: Premium Medical, Dental, and Vision plans with subsidies for child dependents. Wealth Building: 401(k) with a 4% company match. Pre‑Tax Commuter Benefit: Pay for eligible transit and parking with pre‑tax dollars. Parental Support: Robust Paid Parental Leave. True Flexibility: Flexible PTO and 12 paid holidays; no set hours—focus on impact and outcomes. 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 building a world‑class team. Great people, meaningful work, and a team genuinely believing in what we're building. Location & Travel Headquartered in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood. Some roles may require 5–10% domestic and international travel. We actively seek candidates with diverse perspectives and lived experiences. We’re committed to building a team where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to do their best work. Multiply Labs encourages candidates from all backgrounds to apply—even if you don’t meet every qualification. Multiply Labs is an early‑stage startup where equity is a major part of the compensation package. Job titles may span multiple career levels. Actual base pay is determined by education, training, transferable skills, work experience, business needs, and location. #J-18808-Ljbffr
