Job description

At Alamar, we are passionate about enabling our customers to make scientific discoveries that translate into clinical outcomes and benefit patients. Our team is growing quickly as we develop innovative approaches to measure critical protein biomarkers from liquid samples that can enable the earliest possible detection of disease. We believe the next frontier in biology is enabled by measuring proteins at higher sensitivity in highly multiplexed assays at the push of a button, which is something only Alamar can do. As we build our team, we seek collaborative, driven, intellectually curious people committed to solving complex challenges. Our culture rewards accountability and cross functional teamwork because we believe this enables the kind of breakthrough thinking that will accelerate our mission.

Position Summary

We are seeking a Bioprocess/Automation Engineer II who thrives in hands-on environments, takes ownership of complex systems, and can bridge biology, engineering, and software. This role is central to developing, scaling, and sustaining automated workflows across both R&D and production environments.

Duties and Responsibilities

Partner cross-functionally with assay development, automation, manufacturing, and software teams to deliver cohesive system solutions and end-to-end chemical/biological workflows
Contribute to R&D of complex automated biological workflows on Alamar's ArgoHT® system - a next-generation proteomics platform pushing the boundaries of sensitivity

Demonstrated experience balancing exploratory R&D work on novel platforms with ownership of established workflows on third-party liquid handlers
Experience in scripting (Python, C#, Java…) - proficiency with the fundamentals of at least one core language, with an attitude of continuous improvement and a willingness to take on additional challenges
Proven ability to debug complex systems spanning fluidics, robotics, software, and assay chemistry
Experience with liquid handling automation platforms (Hamilton STAR preferred; Tecan, OpenTron, Bravo, or similar also relevant)
