In this position, you will be working in a fast-paced environment on multiple projects and will be a part of a rapidly growing company to make a big impact in life science research and early disease diagnosis.

• Design, execute, and troubleshoot NULISA experiments for various biomarkers across diverse biological matrices (e.g., plasma, CSF, serum), ensuring high-quality, reproducible data.
• Develop and optimize assay parameters to meet performance requirements, including sensitivity, specificity, dynamic range, precision, and robustness.
• Evaluate and integrate novel technologies, reagents, and workflow improvements to enhance assay performance and scalability for both singleplex and multiplex formats.
• Perform rigorous data analysis using appropriate bioanalytical and statistical tools to determine key assay performance characteristics (e.g., LoD, LLoQ, precision, linearity, specificity, stability).
• Work cross-functionally with internal teams and external partners to ensure the timely and accurate execution of project deliverables.
• Act as a subject matter expert (SME) within the technical core team, supporting risk assessments, design reviews, and root cause investigations related to assay development challenges.
• Provide technical mentorship and hands-on training to junior scientists and cross-functional stakeholders, fostering a collaborative and knowledge-sharing culture.
• Author, maintain, and review assay development documentation, including technical reports, SOPs, and work instructions, ensuring traceability and compliance with industry standards.

• Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related discipline, with a minimum of 5 years of industrial experience.
• Hands-on experience in developing and optimizing immunoassays, ideally on high-sensitivity platforms (e.g., Simoa, MSD, or Luminex).
• Strong expertise in assay prototyping, development, and control system design.
• Familiarity with regulatory expectations and best practices for assay development, including verification and validation workflows.
• Experience in multiplex assay development and troubleshooting is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in data management systems and tools is highly beneficial.
• Excellent organizational, documentation, and communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex scientific concepts to multidisciplinary teams.
• Proactive, adaptable, and self-motivated, with a strong “can-do” attitude and the ability to lead complex projects to completion.
