Direct message the job poster from USA Tech Recruit

We're partnering with a cutting‑edge life sciences company on a mission to accelerate research using AI, robotics, and biology. They are developing a platform that scales lab work and generates vastly more data, enabling faster drug development and breakthrough biological models.

You'll join a small, fast‑moving, mission‑driven group of engineers and scientists from top tech and robotics companies. The culture is collaborative, hands‑on, and intellectually curious — with plenty of energy both in and outside the lab.

They're seeking a Mechanical Engineer to help design and build the next generation of robotic lab automation systems. You'll take ownership of mechanical design, prototyping, testing, and iteration — turning ideas into robust, production‑ready hardware.

This is a full‑time, onsite position in San Francisco.
