Transforming the Life Sciences

In 2010, Paul O’Sullivan founded Skellig Automation with one overarching goal: build a great place to work for people who want to revolutionize the Life Sciences.

Skellig Automation is not just a vendor or a systems integrator. We create true partnerships with organizations and people who aim to improve global healthcare. By prioritizing efficiency and teamwork, we can make the Life Sciences industry better together.

We built our business around solving for engineers. Our engineers seize opportunities that suit their career goals, surrounded by others who find real fulfillment in their work. Skellig Automation isn’t a family—we are a team of people with a unified vision who give their best every day.

Our Vision

Transform the Life Sciences industry to deliver the most accessible, affordable, and innovative medicine for all.

Our Mission

Stand as the industry example for how to put people first.

The Skellig Way

At Skellig, we elevate great ideas then put them into action. Our approach to culture and employee empowerment comes with high expectations on both sides: we do right by our people, and they do great work on a strong cultural foundation. Together, we strive to make a lasting impact on the Life Sciences by reducing the cost of manufacturing.

Our people-first culture extends beyond Skellig’s employees. By reducing the cost of manufacturing and innovating inefficiencies out of the industry, we can guide the Life Sciences towards more affordable and accessible healthcare on a global scale. If you have a passion for improving patient outcomes, we encourage you to check our open positions.

"Skellig genuinely cares about their employees. It almost feels like Skellig is an experiment at times. ‘What would happen if we brought together really great engineers, paid them well, gave them autonomy over their work life and gave them challenging work to tackle?"
