Scientist II

Note:

This role is currently part of our general interest pool. We are not actively recruiting for it at this time, but we are reviewing submissions. If a strong fit emerges and the role is prioritized, a member of our team will reach out.

Thank you for your interest in Multiply Labs.

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.

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist who will contribute significantly to the advancement and validation of our automated processes. This role primarily involves hands‑on laboratory work, where you will directly contribute to improving the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of our robotic systems. This will provide you with a deep, intimate understanding of the intricacies of our technology. Beyond the lab, you will also serve as a key Multiply Labs representative during system deployments at customer sites.

This will involve working directly with clients to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance of our robotic solutions, offering an exciting opportunity to apply your expertise in real‑world settings and to contribute directly to customer success.
