Cellular Origins

Cell therapies have been shown to cure devasting and previously untreatable diseases like cancer by re-programming the patient's own immune system. Giving more patients access to these life-saving therapies requires a revolution in manufacturing and process automation.

Cellular Origins, a TTP Company, is focused on enabling scalable, cost-effective and efficient manufacture of cell and gene therapies. Our technology addresses the challenges associated with manufacturing at scale with an elegant solution for automated sterile fluidic interconnection that reduces cost and labour, eliminates human error, and increases efficiency.

Do you want to join the revolution? We're rapidly growing the team and are looking for a Lead Robotic Software Engineer who is equally excited about our mission.

Lead Robotic Software Engineer

You'll join our Robotics Engineering Team and be involved in all stages of software and product development, including analysis, system architecture, prototype design, implementation and test development. There will also be lots of opportunity for you to work on the broader electro-mechanical and system engineering aspects of the Cellular Origins platform.

Your expertise and depth in robotic software engineering will be invaluable as you collaborate with your peers, as well as guide and mentor more junior members of the team, to bring our system to life. You'll have experience of developing and debugging code for robotics and automation systems, but also bring flexibility in your approach, gained from your experience working in cross collaborative teams. Your technical breadth and experience leading software projects will enable you to quickly grasp new ideas and collaborate effectively across the product development and manufacturing team.

You’ll join a fast-growing, interdisciplinary, team with a passion for solving a worthwhile problem. This is somewhere to really make your mark, working in a technically challenging and impact-driven venture, with bright and committed peers, to define the future of cell therapy manufacturing. Are you ready to join the mission?

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering, computer science or a related discipline with industry experience
• High proficiency in Python, but C++ and C# would be an advantage.
• Experience leading software development within a multidisciplinary team
• Experience working on large-scale, safety critical systems, in particular robotics control systems.
• Familiarity with industrial, networked communication protocols, along with robotic prototyping software such as ROS 1 or 2.

The above list outlines our ideal candidate, but we know some of you may not apply unless you qualify for all requirements. We believe in the power and importance of diversity, both for our community and the success of our business, so please apply if you meet most of our listed capabilities.
