About the Role

We are seeking a motivated, curious, and proactive Scientist to help develop and integrate novel biochemistry workflows for multi-omics applications. This role is ideal for a recent B.S. or M.S. graduate with strong scientific fundamentals, hands-on research experience, and the drive to learn quickly in a highly interdisciplinary environment. You will work at the interface of protein engineering, synthetic and surface chemistry, instrumentation, and bioinformatics.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare, optimize, and characterize reagent formulations that support our platform development.
  • Run reagent robustness, compatibility, and stability studies, and use results to improve workflows.
  • Set up runs on internal system prototypes with mentoring as needed.
  • Execute and help develop analytical assays, such as fluorescence plate-reader assays, HPLC, qPCR, or related methods.
  • Collect, organize, and interpret experimental data; identify trends, issues, and practical next steps.
  • Collaborate with scientists and engineers across disciplines to troubleshoot experiments and advance company goals.
  • Document methods, results, observations, and decisions clearly; contribute to protocols, SOPs, technical reports, and knowledge sharing.
  • Support lab organization, formulate reagents, maintain equipment, and ensure compliance with safety and reproducibility practices.

Qualifications

  • B.S. or M.S. in Bioengineering, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, or related field.
  • Hands-on research experience (undergraduate or graduate research, internships, or similar project-based scientific work).
  • Demonstrated motivation, curiosity, proactivity, and willingness to learn new scientific and technical areas.
  • Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work both independently and with guidance in a cross-functional, fast-moving research environment.
  • Comfortable working around prototype instruments, custom hardware, or early-stage systems is a plus.
  • Interest in data analysis, scripting, or modifying code to help interpret experiments is a plus but not required.

Benefits

  • Influence the foundational technologies and strategies of a company poised to shape the future of clinical genomics and healthcare.
  • Work in a dynamic, collaborative environment where innovation and scientific rigor are deeply valued.
  • Join a seasoned and multidisciplinary team tackling high-impact problems at the intersection of science and engineering.
  • Competitive compensation and equity package, comprehensive benefits, and flexibility to support work-life integration.
