    Description

    Automation Scientist Graduate Intern, RAC Operations

    Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo is constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world in order to answer the globe's growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms.

    The role is based out of Ginkgo's Boston, MA location and requires regular in-person attendance. About the role: Ginkgo Bioworks is deploying a massive fleet of Reconfigurable Automation Cells (RACs) modular, mobile robotic units that snap together like LEGOs to form an autonomous lab. We are looking for an Automation Scientist Intern to be the hands-on force behind this fleet. You will learn how to load, operate, take down, and troubleshoot protocol runs on the most advanced lab automation hardware in the world, pushing our "Nebula" frontier lab towards autonomous operation.

    Responsibilities:

    • Master the RAC Platform: Learn to operate and maintain a system of Reconfigurable Automation Cells, designed to support a variety of molecular and cell biology scientific workflows. You will queue and submit programmatically-generated protocols, remote monitor for errors and conduct remote and on-site error recovery, with the support of our Apex Support team. Over time, you will advance to modifying or writing new protocols for our RAC Automation system.
    • Learn Biology: You will prepare and onboard reagents and consumables for upcoming molecular and cell biology scientific workflows, execute and monitor such workflows, and take down and offboard used plates from completed workflows. In the process, you will learn how to do scientifically rigorous experimental design and execution as well as how to optimize scientific workflows for running on RAC automation.

    Preferred Qualifications:

    • Recent graduate (BS/MS) or expected 2026 graduation date in Computer Science, Bioengineering, Computational Biology, or Bioinformatics. Chemical, Mechanical or Electrical Engineers with computational skills and a strong interest in learning biology are also welcome.
    • Automation-forward mindset: you love working with lab automation and making robotic systems run smoother.
    • Willingness to do whatever it takes to ensure that existing and new scientific workflows run successfully on our RAC automation system.

    Bonus (not required):

    • Interest in communications, marketing, social media, and/or short form video

    The base salary range for this role is $45,100-$63,600. Actual pay within this range will depend on a candidate's skills, expertise, and experience. We also offer company stock awards, a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental & vision coverage, health spending accounts, voluntary benefits, leave of absence policies, 401(k) program with employer contribution, 8 paid holidays in addition to a full-week winter shutdown and unlimited Paid Time Off policy.

    Ginkgo has implemented a return to office policy effective October 1, 2025 with required in-office days: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. This policy applies to all employees who live within 50 miles of Ginkgo's offices in Boston, MA, Emeryville, CA and West Sacramento, CA. Biosecurity positions are excluded from this policy.
