- An educational background in Mechanical Engineering, with an interest in product and user centred design
- Some related work experience or internships. We’re especially excited to meet potential colleagues with exposure to the fields of lab automation, medical devices, and robotics, with a keen interest in thermodynamics, fluidics, and control systems
- Experience with at least one CAD package (Solidworks preferable)
- Because of the device assembly aspect of this role, we are unable to support remote-first working and potential colleagues must be happy to work from our lab.
- Working in the HW team to develop solutions to be incorporated in our systems
- Having the freedom to suggest ways to refine existing designs, and how we source and manufacture parts
- Understanding user goals and user journeys, and incorporating them into continuously improving product design
- Assembling, testing and validating complex devices
- Multi-disciplinary collaboration across the whole team, which includes two Forbes 30 under 30 founders, ex-Dyson engineers, rock climbers and Nature-published scientists
Mytos.bio provides automated, end-to-end manufacturing for human cell types used in biotech. It sells and supports its proprietary Mytos Platform, which combines robotics and software to run cell culture processes without needing more staff. This turns traditional artisanal cell culture into scalable, repeatable production for large biotech firms working on cell therapies and drug development. The system works by integrating automated equipment and software workflows that manage culture, monitoring, and quality control, enabling consistent, high-quality cells at scale. Compared with competitors, Mytos.bio emphasizes a turnkey, scalable infrastructure that reduces headcount while delivering uniform results, backed by a team of hardware and software engineers and biologists, and recognition as a YCombinator alumnus and Forbes 30 Under 30. Its goal is to make large-scale cell production reliable and cost-effective so biopharma companies can accelerate therapies and drug development.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- $19M Series A from Buckley Ventures accelerates iDEM platform growth.
- Partnerships with StemSight, Rinri, Novadip scale cell therapies for trials.
- Aspen Neuroscience collaboration produces DANPCs for Parkinson's ANPD001.
What critics are saying
- Aspen ANPD001 trial failure terminates Mytos contract, cuts payments.
- Lonza Cocoon captures 40% market with GMP compliance over iDEM.
- UK AI Act audits iDEM software, delays deployments, raises costs 30%.
What makes Mytos unique
- Mytos' iDEM platform fully automates stem cell differentiation to specific human cell types.
- iDEM integrates fluidics, imaging, and robotics for hands-off, scalable cell production.
- Y Combinator alumnus Mytos targets biotech firms with precision cell manufacturing.

Mytos’ automated cell culture technology will power manufacturing of dopaminergic neuronal precursor cells for Aspen’s investigational cell therapy ANPD001 in Parkinson’s diseaseLONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#automation—Mytos, an innovative leader in automated cell manufacturing, has entered into a manufacturing collaboration with Aspen Neuroscience, Inc. to automate the manufacturing of autologous dopaminergic neuronal precursor cells (DANPCs) for ANPD001, Aspen’s investigational cell therapy program for Parkinson’s disease (PD).The DANPCs, designed to replace lost dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, are differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are derived from the patient’s own skin cells. This approach holds the promise of restoring lost function without the need for immunosuppressive drugs.As part of the partnership agreement, Aspen will integrate Mytos’ iDEM automated cell culture technology into its new manufacturing facility in Torrey Pines, Calif. The iDEM automated cell culture technology combines fluidics, advanced imaging, and mechanical movement and control to enable fully hands-off production of specific human cell types. This agreement represents the potential for substantial payments to Mytos over the coming years.Mytos’ automation has the potential to drive substantial improvements in efficiency and scalability. By closing and automating processes, iDEM empowers operators to manage more batches simultaneously within a smaller cleanroom footprint, minimizing the need for extensive hiring, training, and facility expansions as manufacturing scales out.“We are excited to work with the innovative Mytos team
