Join the Future of Robotic Biomanufacturing!
Multiply Labs is a robotics company on a mission to solve a significant bottleneck in modern medicine: the manufacturing of life-saving advanced biologics, from gene and cell therapies to antibodies and more.
Today, these therapies are produced through manual, labor-intensive processes. Costs are extremely high—often $500K–$2M per patient—limiting access to only a small fraction of those who need them.
As product complexity increases and the cost of failure and scientific labor rises, the industry is shifting toward automation. Robotics and AI are making automated biologics manufacturing feasible, reliable, and economically scalable.
We believe the future of biomanufacturing is robotic—closed, automated, and scalable—ensuring critical therapeutics are accessible to every patient who needs them.
Why This Matters
We don’t just build robots—we’re building the essential infrastructure for next generation biologics. Our technology enables biopharma companies to scale production without redesigning their science, reducing regulatory hurdles and lowering costs so these treatments can reach more patients.
The Stack & The Scale
The Mission: Build the world’s best robots to make life-saving therapies accessible to all.
The Technology: Advanced robotic orchestration, high-precision automation, cloud-integrated hardware-software systems, dextrous manipulation, and imitation learning.
The Location: Headquartered in San Francisco, CA.
The Backing: Supported by premier investors, including Casdin Capital, Lux Capital, and Y Combinator.

Technician Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a technician in California?
The path depends on the specialty, but most technician roles in California require an associate degree or certificate from a California Community College or accredited technical school in the relevant field. Specialized roles carry additional requirements: medical laboratory technicians need licensure through the California Department of Public Health Laboratory Field Services, while electrical technicians often need NICET certification or a California contractor license for certain work. Completing an apprenticeship through the California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Apprenticeship Standards is a strong alternative entry route.
Which companies hire technicians in California?
Employers hiring technicians in California right now include Asteri Behavioral Treatment Center, Applicantz, and Alongside ABA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's concentration of defense contractors, life sciences firms, and investor-owned utilities means consistent technician hiring across the Los Angeles Basin, Bay Area, and San Diego corridor year-round.
Which California cities have the most technician jobs?
Los Angeles, Fremont, and San Diego consistently post the highest volume of technician openings in California. Los Angeles leads because of its aerospace and entertainment-technology industries, San Jose draws electronics and semiconductor demand from Silicon Valley, and San Diego is anchored by biotech clusters and a major naval and defense presence that sustains steady hiring across multiple technician specialties.
Are there remote technician jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. Most technician work is hands-on and tied to a physical site, lab, or field location. About 6% of technician openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than many professional fields. The roles most likely to offer any remote flexibility are those focused on documentation review, technical support, or data analysis rather than direct equipment operation or maintenance.
How can I get hired as a technician in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is enrolling in a certificate or associate program at a California Community College, many of which partner directly with local employers for externships or co-op placements. Large California employers such as Kaiser Permanente, LADWP, and major defense contractors run new-hire and apprenticeship programs designed for candidates without prior professional experience. Lateral entry from adjacent roles such as medical assistant, production associate, or quality control inspector is common. Earning a relevant credential, such as a CDPH trainee registration for lab roles or an OSHA 10 card for industrial positions, gives candidates a measurable edge.
Where can I find and apply to technician jobs in California?
You can find and apply to technician jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your specialty and location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
