Multiply LabsRobotics HW Engineer
San Francisco · Full-time
Why join Multiply Labs?
This could be huge if robotic biomanufacturing becomes the default for advanced therapies, which older factories were never built for. Multiply Labs in San Francisco claims up to 100x throughput and 74% lower costs, and AstraZeneca, Founders Fund and Y Combinator back its $75M Series B. Its 11-50 team has 13 open roles, 6 of them new in 30 days, with engineering the largest group.

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.
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’re building the essential infrastructure for next generation biologics. Our technology enables biopharma companies to scale production without redesigning their science, reducing regulatory hurdles and lowering costs so these treatments can reach more 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.
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. If you’re excited about our mission and think you can contribute, we’d love to hear from you.
While our headquarters is located in San Francisco, CA, this position will require up to 10-15% domestic and European travel.
