Robotics Software Intern

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. Our mission is to build the best robots in the world, and use them to make the most advanced life-saving therapies accessible to all.

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.

About the Role

We are looking for Robotics Software Engineering Interns to join a highly collaborative team to deliver production ready software that will shape the future of personalized medicine and cell therapy manufacturing systems. This role is for you if you are a strong problem solver, motivated and hard-working student, and excited to experience what it’s like being an engineer at an early-stage startup.

Responsibilities include:

• Contribute to production-ready code for robotic platforms, helping to implement specific modules for hardware communication and system behaviors under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Design, build and deploy algorithms for motion control, trajectory planning, or sensor data processing; and perform data analysis to evaluate algorithm performance.
• Help build and maintain simulation environments for robot validation, writing unit and integration tests to improve the robustness of the codebase and support our CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with mechanical and systems teams to help troubleshoot real-world issues on physical robots, assisting in data collection and bug reproduction during system-level testing.
• Participate in code reviews, document system architectures, and work closely with senior mentors to learn and apply industry-standard clean architecture and testing patterns.

Qualifications

• Currently working towards a Bachelor, Masters, or PhD degree in Robotics, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• Self-starter comfortable working in a fast paced, technically challenging startup environment.
• Strong background in: linear algebra, Python, data science, and robotics principles
• Strong communication skills that clearly express ideas and design details in meetings, team presentations, white board brainstorming sessions and in various technical documentation.
