Retro Biosciences is a fast-growing biopharma startup using high-throughput, high-dimensional approaches to develop therapies for diseases driven by the biology of aging. We are looking to expand our exceptional team at our Redwood City location.
We are seeking a highly motivated new member of ourAutomation team. The automation team is a multifaceted group of engineers who partner with our scientific programs to automate and streamline their processes and accelerate the science. In this role, you will support research operations by automating simple to complex workflows and optimizing the usage of instrumentation and robotics that power Retro’s automated workcells.
This position is an onsite role based in Redwood City.
About you:
You have done the repetitive wet-lab grind and are motivated to find creative, reliable ways to modify or build tools to accelerate these processes at Retro. You are a hands-on generalist who loves complex machines, troubleshoots on the fly, and will open up hardware to understand it. You can work towards a goal without a detailed blueprint, embracing the iterative process. With a “see it, fix it” mentality, you step up to do what is needed to maintain a high-functioning lab. You are able to safely move equipment and are flexible enough to support long-running biological workflows when needed. You’re energized by the chance to reimagine how science gets done, helping Retro to iterate 10x faster!
