About The Position

At Medra, we’re building an autonomous robotic platform that enables scientists to automate complex laboratory protocols and achieve continuous science with unmatched precision and scalability. By integrating advancements in AI, robotics, computer vision, and natural language processing, we are transforming how science is done to tackle some of humanity’s greatest challenges, from curing disease to advancing climate technology and beyond. Our goal is to enable the next biggest leap in scientific discovery, unlocking a world where experimental data generation is no longer limited by the pace of human scientists or the rigidity of traditional lab automation. Our Continuous Science Platform executes lab protocols exactly as scientists do, constantly learning/improving to help optimize protocols. This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things. We’re a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. We’re collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting! As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other. Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don’t mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.
