The posting

Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo is constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world in order to answer the globe’s growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms.

The role is based out of Ginkgo’s Boston, MA location and requires regular in-person attendance.

About the Role: Ginkgo Bioworks is deploying a massive fleet of Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs)—modular, mobile robotic units that snap together like LEGOs to form an autonomous lab. We are looking for an Automation Scientist Intern to be the hands-on force behind this fleet. You will learn how to load, operate, take down, analyze and troubleshoot protocol runs on the most advanced lab automation hardware in the world, pushing our "Nebula" frontier lab towards autonomous operation.

Responsibilities:

Master the RAC Platform: Learn to operate and maintain a system of Reconfigurable Automation Carts, designed to support a variety of molecular and cell biology scientific workflows. You will queue and submit programmatically-generated protocols, monitor execution of your protocol runs, and retrieve and analyze protocol run data. Over time, you will advance to modifying or writing new protocols for our autonomous lab.

Learn Biology: You will prepare and onboard reagents and consumables for upcoming molecular and cell biology scientific workflows, execute such workflows, and take down and offboard used plates from completed workflows. In the process, you will learn how to do scientifically rigorous experimental design, execution and data analysis as well as how to optimize scientific workflows for running on RAC automation.

Preferred Qualifications:

Recent graduate (BS/MS) or expected 2026 or H1 2027 graduation date in Computer Science, Bioengineering, Computational Biology, or Bioinformatics. Chemical, Mechanical or Electrical Engineers with computational skills and a strong interest in learning biology are also welcome.

"Automation-forward" mindset: you love working with lab automation and making robotic systems run smoother.

Willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure that existing and new scientific workflows run successfully on our RAC automation system.

Bonus (not required):

Interest in communications, marketing, social media, and/or short form video

The base salary range for this role is $37,700-$53,500. Actual pay within this range will depend on a candidate's skills, expertise, and experience. We also offer company stock awards, a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental & vision coverage, health spending accounts, voluntary benefits, leave of absence policies, 401(k) program with employer contribution, 8 paid holidays in addition to a full-week winter shutdown and unlimited Paid Time Off policy.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
