Our mission is to develop curative genome editing treatments that can positively transform the lives of people living with severe and life-threatening diseases.
Beyond our science, we live our four core values: One, Explore, Disrupt, Deliver and feel strongly that you can achieve more at Intellia. We have a single-minded determination to excel and succeed together. We believe in the power of curiosity and pushing boundaries. We welcome challenging thoughts and imagination to develop innovative solutions. And we know that patients are counting on us to make the promise a reality, so we must maintain high standards and get it done.
We want all of our people to go beyond what is possible. We aren’t constrained by typical end rails, and we aren’t out to just “treat” people. We’re all in this for something more. We’re driven to cure and motivated for change. Just imagine the possibilities of what we can do together.
How you will Achieve More with Intellia:
As an Automation Engineer, you will join a collaborative team of engineers whose focus is the integration and ongoing support of a range of automated platforms across the research organization. As a gene editing company, our focus is on NGS methods to identify gene editing events in support of the company’s pipeline. You will contribute as part of a team of engineers to turn the needs of our scientists into automated assays utilizing our collection of liquid handling, sample storage and fully automated high-throughput platforms. You will grow your skills in the following areas:
Collaborating to implement liquid handling and sample storage automation across R&D
Optimizing methods to improve throughput, timing, reliability and standardization
Integrating sample tracking and labeling into new and existing workflows
Troubleshooting hardware, software and user errors promptly and independently
Collaborating with Software Engineering and Informatics team to test and troubleshoot LIMS integrations and acting on end-user feedback
Working with scientists to execute experimental design based on user requirement specification
Bringing measurable metrics to existing workflows to track instrument performance metadata
Collecting feedback from end users within the research team to identify pain points and recommend strategies and instrumentation to streamline processes
About You:
Are you a natural problem solver? Do you have strong independent troubleshooting skills but have always wondered what it would be like to collaborate with a team? Are you a fast learner who enjoys implementing lab solutions using automation? We are looking for a candidate with a B.S/M.S. in Molecular Biology, Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering disciplines with 3+ years of lab instrumentation hardware and/or software experience. The ideal candidate will have experience with at least one liquid handling scripting and/or scheduling software platform (Venus, Cellario, VWorks, EVOware etc.) and a track record of solving complex problems in a lab setting.
Meet your Future Team:
You will be joining our Automation team which is part of the broader AEGIS (Automation Engineering, Genomics, Informatics, Screening) team. You’ll directly report to the Associate Director of Automation whose team possesses a wide-ranging set of skills honed over many years of varied Biotech industry experience. Given the breadth of applications we support, the candidate will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of disciplines within automation - exploring new method development and process improvement opportunities in collaboration with teams in support of Intellia’s gene editing pipeline.
The team is currently working on-site, therefore, candidates who apply should be local to Cambridge, MA or open to relocating. While much of the day-to-day operations require wet-lab work, our team is focused on building not just technical expertise but fostering an environment for growth of people whose skills span across engineering, software, and biology. If you join our team, you can expect to join a hardworking and collaborative environment that stays flexible and strives for a healthy work-life balance. We look forward to fostering your skills, learning from your experiences, and building a larger team that will make a difference in patients’ lives.
