Precision liquid handling, robotics, and automation for life sciences labs
Hamilton designs and manufactures liquid handling systems, process analytics, and lab robotics for biotech and pharma workflows. The tech stack—C/C++, Python, SQL, FPGA design tools (Verilog, LTspice, OrCAD), and CAD (Fusion 360)—reflects a hardware-first engineering culture; the hiring mix (engineering and manufacturing departments nearly equal in headcount) confirms active product development alongside production. Current project focus on failure trend analysis and repair reporting systems suggests a pivot toward predictive maintenance and customer support automation.
