Senior Clinical Laboratory Associate​/Equipment Engineer

DELFI Diagnostics, Inc. (DELFI Diagnostics) is developing next-generation, blood-based tests that are reliable, accessible and deliver a new way to help detect cancer. Employing advanced machine-learning methods to whole-genome sequencing data, the DELFI ("DNA Eva Luation of Fragments for early Interception") platform is built to address the highest-burden health challenges. DELFI Diagnostics prioritizes solutions that have the potential to save lives on a global scale, including for historically underserved populations.

DELFI Diagnostics’ platform relies on fragmentomics – the discovery that cancer cells are more chaotic than normal cells and, when they die, leave behind tell-tale patterns and characteristics of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragments. First Look Lung, for individuals eligible for lung cancer screening, is DELFI Diagnostics’ first laboratory-developed screening test and can be part of routine blood work. First Look Lung uses millions of data points to reliably identify individuals who may have cancer detected through low-dose CT, including early stage disease with a negative predictive value of 99.8 percent.

This test has not been cleared or approved by the FDA.

In our passionate pursuit to radically improve health outcomes, we serve humanity when we:

• Lead with Science, Anchor in Pragmatism:
  We pioneer life-changing science by ensuring quality, transparency, and rigor at all times. We explore thoughtfully, experiment smartly, and deliver impact with conviction.
• Build With & For All:
  We embrace diverse backgrounds to innovate and achieve together. We are not just building a product - we aim to disrupt the path of cancer for all - no matter geography or socioeconomic class
• Put We over I:
  We are a home for high-performing people. Through teamwork, we build collective intelligence. Each of us wins when those we serve and those who serve with us--win. We show up with empathy, humility, and integrity at every step of the journey.

In this role, you will be a member of the Laboratory Operations team with primary responsibility for equipment lifecycle management and operational support for laboratory equipment, automation hardware, and associated software used in the Clinical Laboratory. You will support equipment qualification, maintenance, calibration, service, troubleshooting, and ongoing equipment performance to ensure laboratory systems remain reliable and ready for use.

In addition to equipment responsibilities, you will support the pre-analytical and analytical phase of testing, including specimen receipt, accessioning, as well as general laboratory operations. You will work closely with Clinical Laboratory Scientists, automation, assay development, and technology transfer teams to build and maintain scalable laboratory infrastructure. As part of a cross-functional team, you will help launch and sustain clinical products designed to improve how cancer is detected and managed.
