Robotics Engineer at Anthrogen

We’re a seed-stage team in San Francisco building robotic systems to automate real-world lab workflows. Most lab processes today are still manual, slow, and error-prone. Our goal is to build a fully autonomous, “black-box” lab — systems that can take in high-level inputs and run physical workflows end-to-end without human intervention. We’re not there yet. The system is still evolving, and a big part of this role is figuring out what actually works and making it reliable. Design and build mechanical and electromechanical subsystems Write the code that actually runs the system (control logic, sequencing, hardware interfaces) Bring up new hardware and get it working end-to-end Debug failures across the full system — mechanical, electrical, and software Iterate until systems are stable and repeatable, not just working once You’ve built and delivered at least one complex physical system with real ownership You’re comfortable writing code that interfaces directly with hardware Strong ability in at least one area: Mechanical design Controls Embedded / systems programming Mechanical design Controls Embedded / systems programming Experience working with motors, sensors, and power in a real
