From Medra's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
At Medra, our mission is to use AI, robotics, and biology to accelerate life science research, with the ultimate goal of eradicating disease. We have been quietly building the foundational layers of our Physical AI Scientist platform:
🤖 Physical AI that can operate scientific instruments with human-level dexterity.
🧪 Scientific AI that can analyze results, reason about next steps, and close the loop autonomously.
This is an incredibly ambitious mission, but we believe that a team of ambitious people with high ownership can accomplish incredible things.
We're a team of passionate, mission-driven engineers and scientists from companies like Tesla, Amazon, SpaceX, and Neuralink. We're collaborative and love moving fast, both with our product and on team trips skiing or go-karting!
As a team, we love nerding out about engineering and robotics — plus other topics like race cars or cooking. We like learning new things and then sharing our new knowledge with each other.
Our team is opinionated and straightforward. We don't mind intense discussions about design tradeoffs. If we have arguments or miscommunication, we resolve conflicts quickly and empathetically.
We are looking for a Scientist to own biophysical characterization on the Medra Physical AI platform. You will develop, validate, and scale label-free binding assays — primarily SPR and BLI — and turn them into robust, high-throughput workflows that run autonomously for our customers.
Antibody affinity and kinetics, epitope binning, self-interaction, and quantitation are the daily bread of this role, and you’ll be responsible for making these assays reproducible, automation-ready, and reliable at a throughput and consistency that manual benchwork can’t match.
This is a role for someone who blends deep biophysical judgment with hands-on craft — someone who has designed and run SPR/BLI campaigns in high-stakes settings and is energized by the idea of translating that expertise into an autonomous lab. You will work closely with roboticists and software engineers to bring these assays into routine execution on our platform, and directly with customers to scope and deliver characterization campaigns.
