About Multiply Labs
Multiply Labs is a cutting-edge startup based in San Francisco, California, supported by top-tier tech and life science investors such as Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator. We are revolutionizing the manufacturing of cell therapies by developing advanced robotic systems designed to automate and scale the production of these life-saving treatments. Our robots empower biopharma companies to produce cell therapies at scale without significantly changing their existing processes, reducing regulatory barriers and risks. While traditional approaches are time-consuming and lead to extremely high costs for patients (typically $1M+ per patient), using robotics can make these transformative treatments more accessible and affordable to patients in need.

Overview
Multiply Labs is seeking a biologist with experience in immunology, who will join our team as a Process Development Scientist to join our process and technology transfer group. This team is tasked with overseeing the automation of next-gen cell therapy manufacturing processes. We automate cell therapy manufacturing by leveraging the unique features of Multiply Labs’ robotic systems, which are compatible with the instruments, consumables, and reagents that are already used in cGMP-grade cell therapy manufacturing (both clinical and commercial). This enables the process and technology transfer team to automate a pre-existing cell therapy process without substantially modifying it.
As a Scientist at Multiply Labs, you will work together with other team members to refine our technology transfer protocol, which consists of converting an existing (manual) cell therapy manufacturing process into an equivalent automated process. The two approaches (manual and automated) are then tested side-by-side, proving that the robotic process is statistically equivalent to the manual one (see this recent peer-reviewed paper for a sample of our work). This work, at the intersection of advanced bioprocess development and cutting-edge robotics, will be applied to industry-leading cell therapy manufacturing process at all levels of clinical advancement (from pre-clinical, to clinical, to commercial products).
In your role as a Scientist, you will perform hands-on laboratory work, analyze data, and present results. You will also work closely with our clinical collaborators (e.g. our partners at the Stanford LCGM), QA team, regulatory team, and a wide range of customers and vendors to ensure that their processes are seamlessly and efficiently automated by applying our robotic technology.
As the Multiply Labs’ engineering team develops new automated technologies for the manufacturing of cell therapies (and of other advanced drugs), you will assist in developing and evaluating new procedures and protocols, including experimental design and execution, to be used in the design and testing of future robotic systems.
Required qualifications:

Advanced degree (MA/MS or PhD) in immunology or a related field; and/or 3+ years of equivalent experience/training
3+ years of experience in an experimental biology laboratory
Experience with human blood processing
Experience with T cell isolation and manipulation
Aseptic technique w/ respect to cell culture experience
Adept in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace Suite
Excellent verbal/written communication
Flexibility in the face of changing priorities and schedules
Organizational skills, time management, administrative, and data recording skills
Ability to prioritize tasks, multi-task, and coordinate work tasks with others and meet multiple deadlines

Preferred qualifications:

Experience with GxP regulations and laboratories
PhD degree in immunology or related field
Experience operating and programming lab automation equipment (such as automatic liquid handlers, etc.)
Strong track record of peer-reviewed scientific publications
Experience in next-generation drug manufacturing beyond cell therapy (e.g. antibodies, ADCs, mRNA, gene therapies, viral vectors, etc.)

Note : while our headquarters is located in San Francisco, CA, this position will require supporting a robotic cluster currently deployed in Palo Alto, CA.
$125,000 - $175,000 a year
Total compensation includes generous equity and benefits including:

Health Insurance
Health Savings Account
Daily catered lunch
Commuter Benefits
Flexible PTO
401K
