Description
Our mission is to build scalable automated analytical workflows that improve operational efficiency and help high-quality cell therapies reach patients faster.
As a Senior Scientist, Lab & Data Automation, you will bridge laboratory operations, automation technologies, and digital workflow integration to modernize analytical workflows for engineered cell therapy programs.
Reporting to the Associate Director of Analytical Sciences, you will partner cross-functionally with Analytical Sciences, PSAT, Operations, and Quality teams to develop scalable, automation-ready laboratory solutions.
This role is highly automation-focused and requires a hands-on professional with experience supporting laboratory automation integration, workflow optimization, and analytical operations in fast-paced environments.
Key responsibilities include translating manual laboratory workflows into automation-ready processes, supporting integration and optimization of automated liquid handling systems, leading feasibility studies and evaluating new automation technologies, and building scalable data and workflow solutions.
You will also partner with cross-functional teams to improve operational efficiency, workflow robustness, and analytical scalability, support automation-related compliance activities, and communicate technical recommendations and project updates to scientific and operational stakeholders.
Required qualifications include hands-on experience with laboratory automation platforms, experience supporting automated liquid handlers, understanding of analytical laboratory workflows, and experience leading or supporting automation integration and cross-functional technical projects.
Preferred qualifications include experience in biotech, pharmaceutical, cell therapy, genomics, or high-throughput laboratory environments, exposure to Python, SQL, cloud-based platforms, or workflow automation tools, and familiarity with flow cytometry, imaging, molecular assays, or plate-based analytical workflows.
Education and experience requirements include a B.S. in Immunology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, Analytical Sciences, or a related scientific discipline with 5+ years of relevant hands-on experience, or an M.S. in Immunology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, Analytical Sciences, or a related scientific discipline with 3+ years of relevant experience, or a Ph.D. in Immunology, Cell Biology, Bioengineering, Analytical Sciences, or a related scientific discipline with no prior industry experience required.
