The PositionWe are seeking a talented scientist to join a team developing surface chemistries enabling NGS-based advanced applications and consumables. This position provides an exciting opportunity to work with outstanding scientists and engineers in a highly multidisciplinary environment. The successful candidate will have a broad background in surface science and device development.
The Opportunity- You will design and develop surface modifications and novel chemistries and workflows enabling consumables for NGS applications.
- You will develop assays and methods to characterize surface modifications and surface-biomolecule interactions in complex consumable devices.
- You will drive the synthetic manipulation of material surfaces at a molecular level to precisely engineer surface energy characteristics and other properties that will ensure optimal device performance in a complex system.
- You will use early stage instrumentation and SW and gain a deep understanding of the sequencing workflow and consumables.
- You will design and execute studies to determine optimal process conditions for surface modifications, including sequencing data collection and data analysis.
- You will support design and process transfer from R&D to Ops.
- You will analyze complex data sets, author technical reports, and present findings and strategic recommendations to the team and the organization.
Who You Are- You have a BS degree with 7+ years of industrial experience, MS with 4+ years of industrial experience, or PhD degree with 3+ years of industrial experience in Chemistry or a closely related field, with a focus on surface science and materials modification and development of surface modifications for biomolecule analysis.
- Deep understanding of chemical principles governing interactions at biomolecule-device interfaces.
- Proficiency in JMP and Python to interpret complex datasets and translate findings into actionable insights
Behaviors, competencies, and qualities of the ideal applicant.
- You have experience with NGS-based applications and/or platform development, including an understanding of the critical surface requirements
- Understanding of principles and challenges of surface functionalization of microfluidic and lab-on-chip complex consumables.
- Problem-solving and data-driven solutions, with aptitude for systematically analyzing issues within multidisciplinary systems
- Experience with early stage instrumentation
