Our fully automated, high throughput platform will empower new biomarker discoveries for early detection and prevention of common diseases. We provide exceptional opportunities for those who have the entrepreneurial spirit, enjoy developing novel technologies and products, and aspire to grow together with the company.

An ideal candidate will have a background in immunology, neuroscience, or proteomics and bring hands-on experience in immunoassay development. The ability to manage complex projects in a fast-paced, collaborative environment is highly preferred.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Design, conduct, and analyze single- and multi-plex NULISA immunoassay experiments to assess various biomarkers across diverse biological matrices.
  • Design and optimize assay parameters including sensitivity, specificity, detectability, and precision to execute and deliver NULISA immunoassay projects.
  • Conduct analysis of PCR and NGS datasets, maintain documentation, prepare summary reports and present to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders to ensure the timely and accurate completion of deliverables.

  • Hands-on experience in executing and optimizing immunoassays such as ELISA. Experience with high-sensitivity platforms (Simoa, MSD, or Luminex) is a plus but not required.
  • Hands-on experience with generating and analyzing PCR and NGS sequencing datasets is highly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of proteomics and biomarker research.
  • Ability to manage multiple complex projects under tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong communication and organizational skills to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team environment.
  • Knowledge of emerging reagents, immunoassay technologies, biomarker discovery, assay prototyping, performance optimization, and control system design.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
