About this role

Director, Sustaining Engineering & Lab Operations Cambridge, MA USA Your Impact at LILA Lila is building AI Science Factories (AISFs) - highly automated, AI-directed labs that generate the proprietary experimental data powering our AI platform. As we scale from one AISF to many, the operational infrastructure that keeps those factories running is a first-class strategic capability. The Director of Sustaining Engineering & LabOps owns that execution layer: fleet reliability, incident response, AISF health, root cause analysis, site-level continuous improvement, and the execution of platform releases and change control at the site - alongside the operational foundation that makes it possible (consumables, reagents, CMMS, asset management, PM, first-response maintenance, multi-shift logistics). This role will build out Lila's Local Site Sustaining Engineering capability from the ground up, incorporating Maintenance Engineering (ME) as a sub-function. It reports solid-line to the VP, ASP Strategy and Operations with a dotted line to the Director of Sustaining Engineering (Global / Cambridge Core Engineering) for platform standards, change control, and equivalence evidence. The function executes within centrally defined platform constraints and feeds structured signal back to Global Engineering through the operating cadences defined in the ASP Engineering operating model. You'll define the operating model, lead its expansion to new sites, drive AI-enabled innovation in equipment health and lab operations, and author the standards that travel with every AISF we open. You'll be a principal contributor to the Blueprint program - the global deployment framework defining how Lila builds and runs AISFs at scale. What You'll Be Building
