We’re pioneering the discovery and development of life-changing medicines through the transformative power of artificial intelligence. Backed by Lightspeed, NEA and Sequoia.
About the role
We are building a next-generation lab automation and robotics platform to transform how biological experiments are executed, monitored, and scaled. This platform will bring together robotic arms, mobile platforms, lab instruments, sensors, computer vision, workflow orchestration, and AI-enabled autonomy to increase the speed, reliability, reproducibility, and scale of experimental biology.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
- Recent graduates with strong robotics, automation, hardware/software integration, or relevant project experience are encouraged to apply
- PhD candidates are welcome to apply, particularly if they are excited by hands-on robotic system building, integration, and lab automation
- Strong software engineering skills in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Python, C++, C#), cloud-based workflows, and production software systems
- Familiarity with robotics software frameworks such as ROS2, MoveIt, or comparable tools
- Familiarity with computer vision, perception, motion planning, robotic manipulation, or sensor integration
More about this role
Xaira is an innovative biotech startup focused on leveraging AI to transform drug discovery and development. The company is leading the development of generative AI models to design protein and antibody therapeutics, enabling the creation of medicines against historically hard-to-drug molecular targets. It is also developing foundation models for biology and disease to enable better target elucidation and patient stratification. Collectively, these technologies aim to continually enable the identification of novel therapies and to improve success in drug development. Xaira is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and London.
