Company Overview — Leumas
Leumas is a venture-funded deep-tech company based in Bengaluru, building modular robotic factories and software-defined manufacturing systems for healthcare products.
Our R&D; ambition is to build the future of drug manufacturing across emerging therapeutic modalities. We are developing current manufacturing modules and technologies for peptide synthesis, oncology applications and other advanced drug-production processes, while exploring Physical AI to make manufacturing systems more capable, adaptive and autonomous.
This work brings together mechanical engineering, chemistry, process development, electronics, firmware, AI and quality systems. Our engineers translate scientific and process requirements into machines, test them through experiments and develop them toward scalable manufacturing platforms.
We’re looking for a hands-on technical leader who wants to tackle unfamiliar engineering problems, build a strong multidisciplinary team and help define how future medicines will be manufactured.
Industry Context
Our equipment must combine process performance, flexible configurations, hygienic design and practical manufacturing economics. Development succeeds when new mechanisms work repeatedly across realistic operating conditions.
The Role
You will lead mechanical and manufacturing-system R&D; for Leumas’ next generation of technology modules, spanning peptides, oncology applications, Physical AI and emerging drug-manufacturing processes.
Working closely with scientific, process, electrical, firmware and AI teams, you will translate new process requirements into equipment architectures, experimental systems and deployable manufacturing modules. You will guide development from early feasibility through prototypes, performance verification and transfer toward production.
This role requires strong mechanical engineering depth, systems thinking and the ability to learn unfamiliar domains quickly. You will build and mentor the engineering team whi
