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 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.
We’re looking for a strong Senior Software engineer with a passion for robotics to help deliver reliable software for our cell therapy manufacturing platform. You’ll spend your time designing, building, testing and improving software, from interfaces with integrated mobile robots and low-level factory control to factory operation, automation and orchestration.
You’ll work within the robotics team and closely with colleagues across software and systems engineering teams to turn requirements into working solutions. You’ll contribute to technical design and help resolve delivery challenges, while mentoring other engineers and promoting high-quality software.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll regularly deploy software onto physical systems, run integration tests with robots and connected bioprocess equipment, and investigate issues at the boundary between software and hardware. Professional robotics experience is welcome, but is not required: we’re interested in your software engineering skills, curiosity and enthusiasm for learning.
These are useful additions, rather than requirements. Robotics experience can come from personal projects, study, research or professional work.
Cellular Origins is currently based on the TTP Campus, within purpose-built sustainable offices, labs and green surroundings, 10 miles south of Cambridge. Our working culture encourages entrepreneurship, shared ideas and collaboration, while providing you the freedom to do your best work.
Our employee benefits include:

At TTP we work with start-ups through to big corporates, across multiple sectors, to solve challenging problems steeped in technology. By combining passion and flexibility with a deep expertise in science, engineering, and design, we help our clients unlock opportunities and make brilliant things happen.
We’re independent, we’re free-thinkers and we’re agile to the core, and for nearly 40 years it’s helped us find better solutions faster – time and time again. We take a multidisciplinary approach, and our teams are set up around the project needs, which means we can tackle your problem holistically from the start. What’s more, we’ll be on your side and work with you as one team, and we’ll want the project to succeed as much as you do.
