Join the Future of Robotic Biomanufacturing!
Multiply Labs is a robotics company on a mission to solve a significant bottleneck in modern medicine: the manufacturing of life-saving advanced biologics, from gene and cell therapies to antibodies and more.
Today, these therapies are produced through manual, labor-intensive processes. Costs are extremely high—often $500K–$2M per patient—limiting access to only a small fraction of those who need them.
As product complexity increases and the cost of failure and scientific labor rises, the industry is shifting toward automation. Robotics and AI are making automated biologics manufacturing feasible, reliable, and economically scalable.
We believe the future of biomanufacturing is robotic—closed, automated, and scalable—ensuring critical therapeutics are accessible to every patient who needs them.
Why This Matters
We don’t just build robots—we’re building the essential infrastructure for next generation biologics. Our technology enables biopharma companies to scale production without redesigning their science, reducing regulatory hurdles and lowering costs so these treatments can reach more patients.
The Stack & The Scale
- The Mission: Build the world’s best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all.
- The Technology: Advanced robotic orchestration, high-precision automation, cloud-integrated hardware-software systems, dextrous manipulation, and imitation learning.
- The Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
- The Backing: Supported by premier investors, including Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator.

- Experience conducting internal and/or supplier audits in a regulated GxP environment; familiarity with ISO 9001, ISO13485 or ISO 19011.
- Experience hosting or supporting external audits or regulatory inspections (customer audits, FDA, EMA, Notified Body, or equivalent).
- Experience owning quality program execution — not just supporting it — in a small or fast-moving team environment.
- Excellent technical writing and documentation skills with meticulous attention to detail.
- Comfortable operating with autonomy and building process where limited infrastructure exists.
Additional Preferred Qualifications
- Direct experience with eQMS configuration and administration.
- Lead auditor certification (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or equivalent).
