Systems Integration Engineer
About Pilgrim:
Pilgrim is building America’s biology prime - engineering, manufacturing, and deploying advanced biotechnology for defense and national security. Our primary platform, ARGUS, is a fully autonomous system for detecting biological threats in near real time, from naturally occurring pathogens to engineered agents.
We engineer hardware for biology, turning breakthrough science into fielded capabilities. Based in Redwood City, our team brings together mechanical and electrical engineering, chemistry, and biology under one roof to deliver critical technologies to the people who need them.
About the Role:
As a Systems Integration Engineer/Scientist at Pilgrim, you’ll turn biological methods into automated workflows on ARGUS. You’ll adapt sample preparation, reagent handling, qPCR, and sequencing preparation to the system, troubleshooting failures across biology, fluidics, and controls. Working with scientists and engineers, you will translate scientific advances into integrated systems that perform reliably in the real world.
Responsibilities:
Adapt sample preparation, reagent handling, qPCR, and sequencing preparation methods to automated workflows on ARGUS.
Define operating requirements for those workf
