Robotics Hardware Engineer Jobs in Connecticut (NOW HIRING)

Be a key member of the Advanced Robotics & Data Orchestration Team, building and sustaining the mechanical, electrical, and control systems that turn instruments and robots into reliable, reusable, push-button workflows for Alexion's Product Development & Clinical Supply organization. Help transform our multimodality product development labs from manual, time intensive workflows, into an automated, scalable, and scientist-friendly ecosystem by designing and commissioning work cells, integrating devices and sensors, and partnering with Lab Orchestration and Data Engineering experts to improve uptime, safety, and data integrity. Help us accelerate life-changing therapies to patients with rare and ultra-rare diseases.

• Assemble and integrate robotic and lab automation hardware (fixtures, guards, conveyors, end of arm tooling) and wire signals to controllers.

• Perform alignment, calibration, and dry run testing; validate sensors, interlocks, and safety functions.

• Assist with instrument connectivity (signals over serial/Ethernet), barcode, or RFID capture, weigh/dispense, and other material handling verification.

• Pair with orchestration engineers to validate state transitions, timing, and exception handling on live systems.

• Maintain drawings and documentation; support requirements and validation testing and issue tracking during factory/site activities.

• Support operator enablement (checklists, basic training, day two troubleshooting) and reliability improvements focused on reducing errors and reruns.

• Integrated, documented work cells that pass safety and validation checks.

• Accurate wiring, schematics, and bills of materials; timely issue resolution and updates.

• Execution quality during commissioning, cutovers, and hypercare.

• Contributions to uptime, material flow reliability, and operator experience.

• Education/experience: MS + 0 years, or BS + 4 years in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)-including 2+ years integrating lab or industrial automation hardware (robots, conveyors, fixtures, sensors, controllers, and input/output).

• Experience with calibration, alignment, mechanical assembly, and electrical wiring; ability to read and update drawings.

• Collaborative mindset with orchestration/software, data engineers, and scientists/operators; clear, practical documentation.

• The duties of this role may require periodic work in a laboratory or manufacturing environment. As is typical of such roles, employees must be able, with or without an accommodation to: lift/carry 15/30 pounds unassisted/assisted; work comfortably in a controlled environment with and around hazardous materials; gown/degown PPE; use a computer; engage in communications via phone, video, and electronic messaging; engage in problem solving and non-linear thought, analysis, and dialogue; collaborate with others; maintain general availability during standard business hours.

• Exposure to regulated lab practices and validation documentation.

• Familiarity with barcode or RFID, basic vision, and material handling equipment.

• Awareness of observability concepts (telemetry, alarms) and reliability basics.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire lifechanging medicines. Inperson working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace, and challenge perceptions. That is why we work, on average, a minimum of four days per week from the office. We balance this expectation while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

The annual base pay for this position ranges from $90K to $135K. Our positions offer eligibility for various incentives-an opportunity to receive short-term incentive bonuses, equity-based awards for salaried roles and commissions for sales roles. Benefits offered include qualified retirement programs, paid time off (i.e., vacation, holiday, and leaves), as well as health, dental, and vision coverage in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans.
