At Automata , we're on a mission to transform how scientists work by making automation accessible to every lab in the world. We believe that by giving labs the power to automate, we can unlock discoveries that will shape the future of life sciences-from diagnostics and drug discovery to synthetic biology.

But we're more than just a company disrupting the industry-we're a team of innovators, problem-solvers, and creators passionate about empowering scientists. Our LINQ platform combines hardware and software to streamline workflows, making lab automation fast, flexible, and affordable. This means our customers can focus on groundbreaking research, while we take care of the rest.

Why Work at Automata?

• Impact : Your work will directly contribute to advancements in science and medicine, supporting labs around the globe as they push boundaries in research and innovation.
• Innovation : You'll be part of a team solving complex problems (seriously, no one else has figured out how to do this yet), using cutting-edge technology (we have robots).
• Growth : We invest in our people. Whether through hands-on experience, professional development, or collaborative projects, you'll grow both professionally and personally.
• Community : Join a diverse, passionate team that values collaboration (golf on a Thursday, Soccer once a month, movie nights whenever we fancy it).

Automata is building a world-class company to disrupt the life science industry and empower scientists by making automation a reality for every lab.

We work with labs across the world to understand their specific workflows and needs, and develop personalised solutions that range from diagnostic, drug discovery to synthetic biology.

We're building our LINQ platform as a hardware and software platform. This allows us to simplify common automation tasks, while also supporting more advanced paths for specialised workflows, in a fast, flexible, and cost-efficient way.

We are looking for a Customer Success Engineer whose mission is to Lead the technical and scientific solution for our customers. You will act as a bridge between the product and engineering functions and the customer, ensuring they are successful with Automata's LINQ platform, through configuring their system, building and testing workflows, and training the customer in how to use it.

• Acting as a bridge between the pre-sales & delivery teams, supporting scoping and design prior to the point of sale
• Collaborating closely with product & engineering teams to translate customer requirements into actionable product decisions that generate long term customer success

Generating documentation (safety specifications, DFMEA, VVRM, risk assessments, etc.) for large scale systems.

This role does involve travel to customer sites, and time spent at the point of install and go-live can be up to 80% of your time there.

What it takes:

• 4+ years of experience combined in life sciences at the bench or in a customer facing role
• Experience solving automation challenges within the lab as an automation engineer.
• Experienced with Python coding.
• Experience using large liquid handling platforms [e.g, Hamilton, Tecan etc.]
• Demonstrated success understanding highly technical and scientific challenges and effectively communicating a path forward while working with product and engineering teams
• Located London Area
• Required travel as-needed for customer projects [Expected on customer site ~80%]

Nice to haves:

• Experience with enterprise software platforms, instrument/hardware driver development or integrations with lab systems (ELN, LIMS, etc.)
• Prior experience with project managment tools (Asana, Jira, etc.)
