Software Graduate Intern, Autonomous Lab

• Enable "Protocols as Code" by developing and refining Python-based protocols using the Catalyst Client to control liquid handlers, plate readers, and robotic arms.
• Build the AI Scientist by assisting in the development of Catalyst Agent, an LLM-based interface that allows scientists to launch experiments using natural language.
• Integrate lab data by working on data pipelines that automatically harvest, structure, and upload experimental data from RACs into the data lake for AI model training.
• Develop device drivers to help integrate new hardware instruments into the Catalyst ecosystem, writing drivers that allow software to "talk" to new lab tools.

This role contributes to constructing the world's first "Total Autonomous Lab," where scientific work is requested by code and executed by robots 24/7, helping to make biology easier to engineer and address global challenges in health, energy, food, and materials.

• Recent graduate (BS/MS) or current student in Computer Science, Bioengineering, or a related STEM field.
• Strong proficiency in Python; experience with hardware control or APIs is a plus.
• Enthusiasm for "Lab-in-the-Loop" technologies where AI models drive physical experimentation.
• Interest in biological data standards and laboratory automation.
