The role connects instruments, robots, sensors, transfer mechanisms, guarding, utilities, and basic control interfaces so scientific workflows can run reliably in automated form.   The Engineer will design, configure, test, troubleshoot, and improve the physical automation and robotics components of integrated discovery workcells. This role complements laboratory automation scientists by owning physical feasibility, robot motion, equipment integrations, controls handshakes, safety behavior, serviceability, layout constraints, and technical vendor follow-up for assigned systems. At this level the engineer begins to own defined physical integration packages, rather than simply supporting assigned tasks. The role contributes to interface definitions, FAT/SAT execution, safety and serviceability reviews, and remediation of physical, mechanical, and controls-related failure modes.   You will be responsible for: Physical System Design and Integration Contributing to the design and deployment of robotic workcells, transfer stations, labware nests, custom fixtures, grippers, guards, sensors, actuators, label/barcode presentation points, and automated peripherals.   Supporting robot reach studies, equipment layouts, service envelope reviews, deck access assessments, operator intervention points, and physical interface testing between instruments and workcells.   Supporting integration between orchestration software, device drivers, robot controllers, PLCs or safety controllers, sensors, instrument PCs, and IT/OT infrastructure.   Authoring or contributing to URS, FDS, SDS review comments, interface control notes, FMEA inputs, FAT/SAT protocols, safety test scripts, commissioning records, and punch-list documentation.   Troubleshooting, Reliability, and Recovery Troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, robotic, control, sensor, barcode, utility, and device communication issues in collaboration with laboratory automation scientists, vendors, IT/OT, and operations.   Supporting root cause analysis for equipment faults, transfer failures, safety trips, barcode or sensor issues, lost labware position, service access problems, and physical workflow interruptions.   Recommending and implementing improvements that increase reliability,
