Director, Wet Lab Engineering

Generate Biomedicines is seeking a Director of Wet Lab Engineering to lead our multidisciplinary team in building the technologies that will define the next generation of experimental science. The team spans hardware, optics, microfluidics, automation, and software, and develops novel instruments, automated workflows, and integrated experimental systems that connect the physical laboratory with data, computation, and AI to accelerate the discovery and development of protein and biologic therapeutics.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is deeply technical, creative, and a people-focused engineering leader who can help define the laboratory of the future and then build it. This leader will shape our vision for increasingly agentic laboratory operations, bringing together instruments, robotics, software, new assays and data types, and AI to enable experiments at unprecedented speed, complexity, and scale. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in at least one physical engineering discipline, along with the technical breadth and judgment to lead across many others, recognize excellent engineering, and bring people and technologies into systems that are more powerful than their individual components.

Importantly, Wet Lab Engineering is embedded within a highly technology-driven therapeutics organization, where the systems we build are not ends in themselves: enabling biological discovery, platform development, and therapeutic programs. We value leaders who are genuinely energized and engaged by biology and drug discovery, comfortable partnering closely with scientists, and able to understand the purpose behind an assay or workflow. The ideal leader will be motivated by seeing engineering translate into better experiments, faster learning, and ultimately better medicines.
