Senior Lab Data and Analytics Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Lab Data and Analytics Engineer to accelerate our fiber and muscle manufacturing R&D. You will bridge the gap between physical lab work and digital intelligence by building or implementing the internal software tools, databases, and analytics pipelines that power our manufacturing workflows. You will be responsible for digitizing complex multi-stage processes involving novel materials and custom mechanisms. This role will require close collaboration with the US based team where the manufacturing facilities are located., * Workflow Digitization: Develop and deploy SOP management software to technician tablets to ensure reliable process execution and manual data capture.

• Systems Architecture: Deploy and manage back-end LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) and databases to store multi-source manufacturing data, and inventory management.
• Hardware Integration: Create data uploaders for lab equipment to automate experimental data capture and implement barcoding systems for Workpiece In Progress (WIP) tracking.
• Computer Vision: develop image/video analysis for geometry and process control.
• Analytics & Monitoring: Build tools for event monitoring, process control analysis, and anomaly detection in streaming manufacturing data.
• Data Science: Parse log files and data streams for meta-level process analysis., * High Impact: Help build a new team in the UK from the ground up, supported by the leadership of our US HQ.
• Complex Challenges: Solve deep-tech problems at the frontier of materials science, ML, and robotics.
• Flexibility: We offer a bias towards remote work while maintaining a key hub in the UK’s premier tech corridors.
• Elite Talent: Work alongside senior, self-directing engineers in a flat, fast-moving organization.

• Extensive experience with custom or commercial LIMS, databases, and API development.
• Must have hands on experience working with a lab or manufacturing setting to deploy data capture and analytics pipelines.
• Experience managing compute infrastructure for software hosting and internal services.
• Experience in front-end UI development for scientific or industrial tooling and analytics preferred.
• This position involves access to technology that may fall under US and UK export control regulations. Any offer of employment will be contingent upon the candidate’s ability to obtain the necessary security clearances and relevant export authorizations required for the project., * Science & Engineering: Multidisciplinary engineers with expertise in material sciences, soft robotics, bio-inspired/tendon-driven robots, high-voltage (~1-5 kV) electronics, and first-principles problem solving. You need to code-at least enough to analyze your data. If your peers call you a Jedi, or if you’ve built your own unique 3D printer or CADed, printed, PCBed, and coded a robot, you’re perfect for us. If your expertise is limited to coding PLCs, industrial automation, or ML models, we’re not there now.
• Culture Fit: We want self-taught wizards who also learn from others. Are you curious? How do you learn? What makes you lose track of time?

We are opening a London, UK based office. Elysium Robotics is an early-stage company headquartered in Austin, Texas, developing revolutionary low-cost, highly capable robotic systems with dexterity and natural grace. Our proprietary muscle-like elastic actuator technology addresses a decades-old challenge in robotics, enabling automation for tasks current robots cannot do. These microfiber actuators enable real bio-mimetic design opportunities based on the same muscle fiber actuation principles biology engineers with.

We’re building a world-class team of curious, independent, and highly skilled makers tackling ambitious challenges in robotics. If you thrive on solving impossible problems, pushing boundaries, and creating just because you can’t not-we should talk. But if this isn’t your dream, spare us and yourself.

We are opening a software focused office in London that will support and collaborate with the core team in Austin, TX. This UK based team will be responsible for Robotic System Design, Simulation, Task Control, and Training, along with Lab Data and Analytics Systems.
