Job Description
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 - including cell therapies, gene therapies, mRNA therapies, and more.
Currently, advanced biological therapies are produced through manual, labor-intensive processes. This keeps costs astronomical—often exceeding $0.5M-$2M per patient—and limits access to only a fraction of those in need.
As labor scarcity for scientists compound against increased product complexity and sky-high costs of failure, the emergence of robotics and AI makes the automated manufacturing of biologics feasible, reliable, and economically scalable.
We envision that the biomanufacturing factory of the future is fully robotic - closed, automated, and scalable, making therapeutics for some of the most important indications for patients today widely accessible.
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.
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, cloud-integrated hardware-software systems, dextrous manipulation, and imitation learning.
The Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
The Backing: Supported by premier investors, including Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator.

About the Role
As a Mechanical Engineer in the Multiply Labs team, you will apply your engineering expertise and technical leadership skills to design consumable components for complex automated machinery involved in the manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical products. This includes the design of robotic cartridges, adapters, and single-use fluid transfer sets that enable robotic interfacing with commonly used consumables in cell therapy manufacturing (fluid transfer bags, bioreactors, cell isolators, reagent vials, etc). You’ll be working directly with a cross functional hardware and software team on designing and building the current and next generations of Multiply Labs’ robotic systems. This ranges across designing and selecting components for our robotic system, determining high level design goals and objectives, building prototypes and taking them to production. You’ll succeed in the role if you can iterate and optimize design using first principle engineering approaches. We have a mix of exciting projects running simultaneously in various phases of maturity. You will need great documentation skills and ability to organize thoughts and ideas into actions in order to drive decision making conversations on major projects while coordinating with colleagues.
