Automation Support Engineer

Are you passionate about advancing science through cutting-edge automation? At Natera, our R&D Automation team powers innovation by building and supporting the systems that drive both discovery research and clinical diagnostics. We're looking for an Automation engineer to join our new Automation Support team in Austin TX who thrives at the intersection of engineering and science — someone excited to tackle complex problems, collaborate with top scientists, and push the boundaries of what's possible in automated lab workflows.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to :

• Shape the future of automation in life sciences by supporting and improving a fleet of state-of-the-art liquid handling robots and automated systems.
• Provide hands-on services for major liquid handling manufacturers including Tecan Fluent, Hamilton STAR and Vantage, and Beckman I7 — building deep expertise across multiple systems.
• Partner with scientists and engineers to design and deliver automation solutions that increase lab efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
• Contribute to innovation projects where you'll conceptualize, design, and implement new tools, workflows, and optimizations.

This isn't just a support role — it's a chance to make a direct impact on scientific discovery and patient care, while continuously developing your own technical expertise in automation and robotics.
