About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Design, build and deploy robotic lab workflows that integrate liquid handlers, incubators, imaging systems, analytical instruments and sensors into robust, end‑to‑end automated workflows
- Develop and implement orchestration and scheduling solutions to coordinate multiple devices and robots, enabling repeatable, high‑throughput and closed‑loop laboratory experiments
- Program and configure robots and lab instruments (e.g. motion, I/O, device APIs, scripting) and ensure safe, reliable operation, calibration and error handling in a laboratory environment
- Work with biologists and process engineers to translate manual protocols into automated workflows, including sample handling, assay steps, data capture and quality controls
- Develop tooling and pipelines for data acquisition, logging and traceability across automated workflows, ensuring that instrument telemetry and experimental metadata are available for analysis and model development
- Collaborate closely with software, data science and biology teams to integrate robotic systems with Sartorius’ digital platforms, analytics tools and cloud services
- Contribute to concept development, prototyping and scaling of new lab automation concepts, from proof‑of‑concept in the lab to robust, repeatable solutions suitable for productization
Requirements
What you’ll need- Master’s degree or PhD in Robotics, Mechatronics, Automation, Control Engineering, Computer Science, Bioengineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience
- Hands‑on experience in robotics or lab automation, such as programming robotic arms, configuring liquid handlers, and integrating laboratory instruments into automated systems
- Familiarity with automation/orchestration frameworks or robotics middleware (e.g. ROS, OPC UA, message queues, SCADA, custom schedulers or lab automation frameworks)
- Proficiency in Python (and/or another relevant language such as C++ or C#) for scripting, device integration and workflow automation; experience with using APIs and SDKs for instruments and robots
- Practical experience in industrial automation, autonomous systems, or lab automation; exposure to life science or bioprocess environments is a strong plus
- Experience with data handling and analysis in automated experiments (e.g. logging device data, handling experimental metadata, basic analysis or visualization)
- Understanding of distributed systems, APIs and cloud‑based services is an advantage (e.g. connecting lab systems to cloud platforms or data lakes)
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to interdisciplinary teams and non‑experts, and to work effectively with scientists, engineers and product stakeholders
- Experience with working independently to drive the implementation of complex workflows and a willingness to be proactive
- Ability to work collaboratively with colleagues within a large, matrix‑based organization and across global teams
- Nice to have: Experience integrating AI or advanced analytics into laboratory workflows
- The successful candidate will have the right to work in the UK.
