What you will do:

• Devise and develop novel molecular biology methods to support the commercialization of kits and consumables for innovative multi-omic in-situ sequencing techniques.

• Develop and optimize workflows and reagent formulations for direct sequencing at subcellular resolution.

• Lead the design of experiments, including experimental execution, data analysis, and presentation of results; recommend future directions based on outcomes.

• Contribute to the expansion of the company's intellectual property portfolio.

• Facilitate the transition of consumables from the research phase to production and commercial release.

• Collaborate closely with multiple teams, including Bioinformatics, Protein Engineering, Systems Integration, and Surface Chemistry.

Qualifications:

• Scientist 2 is Ph.D. in Biology, Genetics, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, with at least 2 years of relevant industry experience (may include postdoc work).

• Senior Scientist is Ph.D. in Biology, Genetics, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, with at least 5 years of relevant industry experience (may include postdoc work).

• Proven experience in method and reagent development for advanced molecular biology techniques.

• Hands-on expertise with a range of molecular biology techniques and protocols, including Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), and nucleic acid analysis and amplification methods.

• Familiarity with fluorescence microscopy, Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (FISH), and handling tissue sections; prior experience is highly advantageous.

• Demonstrated commitment to high-quality scientific research, as evidenced by a track record of exemplary scientific contributions.

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex results clearly across interdisciplinary teams.

• Experience in product development and bringing products to market in a dynamic, fast-paced environment is preferred.
