Your Impact at LILA
Lila's Autonomous Science Platform is building a closed-loop, AI-driven scientific facility, and inter- and intra-cell transport in the AISF is a critical bottleneck on that path. We're bringing on a Robotics Engineer on a temporary basis to help unblock it.
Sitting on the Next Gen Robotics team and based at Alewife, you'll work hands-on across the robotics stack — physical hardware and simulation — to integrate, tune, and debug systems that have to run reliably in production. The work spans ROS2 development, motion planning, and real-world hardware integration, with upstream science projects (including 1023-009-GRIDv1) gated on what you ship. This is a 3-month contract with potential to extend and potential to convert to full-time based on performance and ongoing need.
