Company Description

Cell therapies have been shown to cure devastating diseases like cancer by reprogramming a patient’s own immune system, offering hope where there was none before. Giving more patients access to these life-saving therapies requires a revolution in manufacturing and process automation.

Cellular Origins is leading this revolution. Our proprietary technology tackles the challenges of large-scale production with an elegant robotic automation system that cuts costs, reduces labour, eliminates human error, and boosts efficiency.  

Job Description

You’ll be working at the cutting-edge of innovation designing electrical systems for a highly-modular factory concept, developing layouts and architecture for LV power-distribution, IO systems, safety systems and industrial communication. Working collaboratively with a multi-disciplinary team of engineers you will have the scope to drive direction and approach of how complex engineering concepts are taken from the conceptual phase, right through to production and deployment.

You will generate and maintain detailed design documentation including specifications, schematics, 2D layouts, cable and wiring schedules, IO lists and BOMs. Your daily responsibilities will include an exciting mix of both design activities and hands-on commissioning work – working with a highly skilled team to realise Cellular Origins’ pioneering approach to automation.
