Whelix careers

Every day, scientists across pharma, biotech and academia spend hours at the bench feeding cells, passaging flasks and checking cultures under the microscope. Cell culture is the foundation of drug discovery and cell therapy, yet most of it is still done by hand, one flask at a time. That makes research slow, hard to reproduce and hard to scale.

AI for science is changing how experiments are designed. But AI still needs a pair of hands to run them.

Whelix builds those hands. We make AI-native robots that automate wet lab work, starting with cell culture. Our Associan™ and Teknician™ platforms pair precise robotics with an agentic software layer that turns a scientist's protocol into a reliable, repeatable run, so scientists can spend their time on the science instead of the routine.

We are deploying into pharma and biotech today, with 0 contamination incidents across 50+ consecutive validated runs.

We are a small team of engineers and scientists in Boston, working out of MassRobotics and The Engine. Everyone here owns real hardware and software that scientists use. If you want hard problems, fast iteration and work that moves life science research forward, come build with us.
