PMI Minnesota

Life-science holds the solutions to some of the toughest problems facing the globe, issues spanning from health and medicine to food, manufacturing, and the environment. But our pace of biotech innovation is not fast enough to keep up with the need for solutions. We need to accelerate if we are to rise to the challenges that confront us.

Biologists are held back by the need to run their experiments by hand. Manual pipetting is a tedious, error-prone process, and it is slowing down science. We believe biologists should be free of monotonous labwork and the repetitive stress injuries that come with it. They should be able to spend their time designing experiments and analyzing data, moving us closer to scientific understanding and the world-changing technologies that follow.

That’s why Opentrons makes robots for biologists that are 10-100x cheaper and easier to use than any lab automation before. Our robots automate experiments that would otherwise be done by hand so our users can spend less time pipetting and more time pursuing answers to the 21st century’s most important questions.

Opentrons’ robotics are in use in over 40 countries around the world and have been adopted by top-tier institutions like Stanford, Harvard, Merck, and Roche. Opentrons is VC-backed with investors including Khosla Ventures, Lerer Hippeau Ventures, and Y Combinator.

About The Role

Opentrons robots are deployed in a wide variety of labs, from synthetic biology to clinical testing for Covid-19. As we expand into new verticals, it is important that our Science team is able to adopt processes, back practices, and tools to scale with the engineering team. The science team is instrumental in Opentrons’ success, especially when it comes to validating protocols on new product introductions, validating reagents for strategic partnerships, continuing research and development on scientific methods to improve automation workflows or enhancing our market reach with our marketing team.

As the Program Manager for science you will be responsible for implementing key processes, tools and best practices from the program management office into the science team to ensure we all are held to the same standards. You will also hold the science team accountable to their deliverables in programs/projects. This will include developing program schedules, risk assessments, and budgets.
