Bioprocess/Automation Engineer II
Alamar BiosciencesFremont, California, United States · Posted 2 months agoDescription
At Alamar, we are passionate about enabling our customers to make scientific discoveries that translate into clinical outcomes and benefit patients. Our team is growing quickly as we develop innovative approaches to measure critical protein biomarkers from liquid samples that can enable the earliest possible detection of disease. We believe the next frontier in biology is enabled by measuring proteins at higher sensitivity in highly multiplexed assays at the push of a button, which is something only Alamar can do. As we build our team, we seek collaborative, driven, intellectually curious people committed to solving complex challenges. Our culture rewards accountability and cross functional teamwork because we believe this enables the kind of breakthrough thinking that will accelerate our mission.
Position Summary
We are seeking a Bioprocess/Automation Engineer II who thrives in hands-on environments, takes ownership of complex systems, and can bridge biology, engineering, and software. This role is central to developing, scaling, and sustaining automated workflows across both R&D and production environments.
Duties and Responsibilities
- Partner cross-functionally with assay development, automation, manufacturing, and software teams to deliver cohesive system solutions and end-to-end chemical/biological workflows
- Contribute to R&D of complex automated biological workflows on Alamar's ArgoHT® system - a next-generation proteomics platform pushing the boundaries of sensitivity
- Develop and own automation engineering projects on liquid handling platforms, from concept through development to release and sustaining (Hamilton, OpenTron, Bravo or similar)
- Develop, own, and maintain automation/process code with an emphasis on modularity, maintainability, and traceability (Python, C# or similar)
- Transfer developed processes to both R&D teams and manufacturing/production teams, with accompanying documentation and datasets (feasibility/concept data, V&V runs, troubleshooting documentation, SOPs)
- Design and run experiments utilizing modern biological assays/automation (NGS, PCR/qPCR, proteomics, immunoassays, or similar)
Qualifications
- BS/MS (or higher) in Engineering (Chemical, Bio, Electrical, Mechanical, or related) with 4+ years of relevant experience, or equivalent practical experience
- Demonstrated experience balancing exploratory R&D work on novel platforms with ownership of established workflows on third-party liquid handlers
- Experience in scripting (Python, C#, Java…) - proficiency with the fundamentals of at least one core language, with an attitude of continuous improvement and a willingness to take on additional challenges
- Proven ability to debug complex systems spanning fluidics, robotics, software, and assay chemistry
- Experience with liquid handling automation platforms (Hamilton STAR preferred; Tecan, OpenTron, Bravo, or similar also relevant)
- Experience developing or supporting high-throughput automated workflows in biotech or diagnostics settings
- Strong technical documentation skills (experimental designs, lab notebooks, data analysis, SOPs, V&V documents and reports)
