Job description:
Automation Engineer, Lab Automation:-
- Company has developed a high-throughput genetic engineering platform for designing and building custom microbes to serve as living factories.
- Using an industrial scale fermentation process, our self-replicating bio-factories convert cheap sugars into a wide variety of high value target molecules, including medicines, fuels, and commodity chemicals.
- While providing low cost, high quality malaria medication and renewable substitutes for fuels and chemicals, our end products directly impact millions of lives while reducing humanity's carbon footprint.
- We are pragmatic idealists seeking a profitable way to make the world a better place.
- We are searching for a talented, curious, and self-motivated individual to join our automation engineering team to extend and maintain the most advanced production-scale synthetic biology platform on the planet.
- R&D at company is a highly multidisciplinary effort, where we need brilliant contributions from every area of the life sciences and engineering disciplines in order to take projects from concept to market.
- From hacking directly on DNA in the lab to full scale factory production, every aspect of our work is facilitated and accelerated by software and hardware automation.
- Our tools integrate the activities of scientists, engineers, and industrial robots to enable the rapid optimization of genetic designs and laboratory processes.
- Among the tools we have developed are a CAD/CAM system for genetic engineering: a compiler tool chain whose target architecture is life itself.
- This stack physically integrates high level genetic modules into microbial hosts. We also derive novel strains through random mutagenesis and directed evolution.
- Using our custom control platform, we then subject these experimental organisms to high throughput performance screening in our state-of-the-art robot labs.
