About Us
You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that’s the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll unleash scientists, accelerate their research and help get cures to patients sooner.
We’ve developed machines to fully automate human cell production – the most manual process in biotech. Cells are used to discover and develop new drugs, and now they’re being used to cure diseases like Parkinson’s and age‑related blindness. Mytos will impact cure development across the board.
We’re live in multibillion dollar biotechs on both coasts of the US, and raised $19m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Next year, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson patient brains.
We’ve assembled a world‑class team to take on this challenge, with ex‑Dyson engineers and Nature‑published scientists working hand‑in‑hand.
Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as Airbnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks.

* Work alongside the engineering team to assemble and commission new prototypes and our machines & fluidic consumables.

* Help shape our assembly engineering culture and processes so that we keep continually improving.
* Collaborate across the whole team, which includes two Forbes 30 under 30 founders, ex‑Dyson engineers, rock climbers and Nature‑published scientists.
We’d love to hear from you if
* You’re a fast learner, great communicator and can support the engineering needs of the team.
* Take pride in a high level of craftsmanship in the work you do.
* You’ve set up new processes & have fabrication experience.

* Collaborative team environment with very high potential to learn new skills.
* 24 days holiday (excluding bank holidays).
* Pension.
* Awesome colleagues and an office in the Imperial College Innovation hub in White City, where you’ll be based.
* 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.
* Traveling to customer sites (national and international) may be occasionally required.
We’re building a team that enjoys moving fast and not killing cells, strives for continuous improvement through learning from mistakes and is passionate about work that contributes to solving real world problems.
