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.

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’re a team of people with a unified vision who give their best every day.

The Work We do
"Starting at Skellig fresh out of college was the beginning of an incredible journey. Despite my initial lack of experience in pharma and DCS, Skellig empowered me to build a career in a fascinating and lucrative industry. These past five years have been a profound blessing, enabling me to provide for my beautiful bride and our growing family of four. I am deeply thankful for Skellig and excited for our shared future."

“Working for Skellig the past 5 years has been a refreshing experience largely due to the unique company culture. Skellig doesn't just say they put people first, they truly mean it.

Being surrounded by such an incredibly talented team is both inspiring and rewarding, with colleagues who consistently step in to offer guidance, help solve challenges, and push one another to improve.”

“I’ve been with the company for over 12 years, and it’s been really special to grow along with it. I’ve seen us go from a small team of about 10 people to around 100 today, and through all that change, one thing has stayed the same—a genuine focus on people. You can feel that the company truly cares, not just about the work we do, but about each of us as individuals. There’s an openness here that makes it easy to trust and be heard.”
