Autonomous Bio Systems Integration Engineer

Pilgrim; San Francisco (CA); Vor Ort; USD 135.000 - 175.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Pilgrim is building America’s biology prime — engineering, manufacturing, and deploying advanced biotechnology for defense and national security. Our ARGUS platform automates biological workflows and requires robust integration across biology, fluidics, and controls.

As a Systems Integration Engineer/Scientist, you will adapt sample prep, qPCR, and sequencing workflows to ARGUS, design tests, troubleshoot failures, and translate scientific advances into reliable, field-ready systems.

Qualifikationen

• Strong foundation in bioengineering, molecular biology, biochemistry, or related field.

Aufgaben

• Adapt sample preparation, reagent handling, qPCR, and sequencing methods to automated workflows on ARGUS.
• Define operating requirements for workflows, including sample and reagent volumes, timing, temperature, and contamination control.
• Establish bench baselines and compare automated performance using recovery, inhibition, sequencing quality, and processing time.
• Design and run integration tests from individual fluidic and instrument subsystems through complete sample-to-result workflows.
• Isolate failures across biology, fluidics, sensing, controls, and instrument software; verify causes and fixes experimentally.
• Test workflow repeatability across operating conditions and verify performance after changes to hardware, software, reagents, or protocols.
• Maintain test plans, run records, protocol versions, and instrument configurations so failures can be reproduced and fixes tracked.
