hamilton jobs in San Diego

This role combines software engineering leadership with lab automation integration and early-stage AI prototyping. You will own the translation layer between high-level workflow logic and low-level instrument control, deploy and maintain containerized services using Docker and Kubernetes with CI/CD practices, and build scalable Python applications connecting experimental readouts with downstream analysis tools.…See more You'll collaborate on incorporating AI-driven decision-making into automation workflows, mentor the automation engineering team, and help shape the technical roadmap for autonomous discovery systems.

Build and integrate agentic AI systems with physical laboratory automation platforms (Hamilton, Tecan, Opentrons) and LIMS infrastructure to autonomously design, run, and refine chemistry and biology experiments. Design multi-agent orchestration architectures with state management, error recovery, and tool integration; prototype agent planning strategies and memory systems; deploy containerized services on Kubernetes with GitOps and CI/CD.…See more Work hands-on with chemists, biologists, and automation engineers to transition prototypes into production lab operations that measurably accelerate the Design-Make-Test-Analyze cycle.

Own and evolve the software translation layer between high-level workflow logic and low-level laboratory instrument control, integrating liquid handlers, plate readers, robotic workstations, and analytical instruments. Deploy and maintain containerized services using Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps, and CI/CD practices, building scalable Python applications and data pipelines that connect experimental readouts with LIMS and downstream analysis tools.…See more Collaborate with the team to prototype AI-driven decision-making and autonomous orchestration in lab workflows, evaluating LLM tooling and agent frameworks for practical applicability. Serve as a technical authority and mentor, influencing the broader technical roadmap for autonomous discovery systems and helping grow the automation engineering team's capability.
