Scientist​/Sr. Scientist - Immunoassay​/Cell Binding Assay Development

Dash accelerates drug development. By fusing advanced automation-native lab workflows and integrated software into a unified platform, we provide the biopharma industry with the high-velocity, high-quality, data-driven development solutions required to get life-saving therapies to patients faster. Dash seeks to continuously improve industry KPIs and materially reduce the time and cost to bring a drug to market.

We are building the infrastructure for modern drug development. We are moving beyond the manual, fragmented processes of traditional service providers by taking a technology-first approach to bioanalysis. Our platform is tech-enabled, automated, and GLP-compliant with the goal to industrialize the scientific workflows that act as bottlenecks in the industry. We deliver next-generation preclinical and clinical bioanalysis results with unprecedented speed and precision.

We are a team of builders operating at the intersection of biology, hardware, and code. This is an environment for scientists and engineers who are tired of the status quo and are ready to apply their skills to solve hard problems  don't just run assays, we architect the systems that will define the future of drug development.

We are a place where employees are stretched to do the best work of their career. We are looking for engineers, scientists, and biotechnicians who want to make an impact on the world and leverage their skills in an innovative way.

Dash Bio is seeking a scientifically curious, adaptable, and intellectually driven individual to develop and implement bioanalytical methods that power our highly automated clinical bioanalysis lab. You'll work at the intersection of biology, automation, and software, translating fundamental scientific principles into scalable, robust assays that run reliably on our tech-first platform.

We value scientific versatility over narrow specialization. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives on learning new techniques, approaches problems systematically, and can rapidly adapt their expertise across different analytical platforms. This is an on-site role partnering closely with Automation, Quality, and Software teams to bring methods from concept through validation. Level will be matched to experience (Associate Scientist through Senior Scientist).

• Design, optimize, and troubleshoot analytical assays across multiple platforms including immunoassays (ELISA, MSD/ECL, Luminex), and cell-based/ligand-binding assays for PK, immunogenicity (ADA/NAb), and biomarker applications.
• Rapidly acquire proficiency in new analytical techniques and platforms as business needs evolve, demonstrating intellectual agility and systematic approach to method learning.
• Apply fundamental scientific principles to solve complex technical challenges, often bridging concepts from molecular biology, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry.
• Collaborate with automation engineers to translate manual protocols into robust automated workflows on liquid handlers and integrated robotics (e.g., Hamilton, King Fisher, Omni); contribute to script design, QC checkpoints, and error-handling strategies.
• Partner with software and data science teams to optimize data capture, LIMS integration, and analytics pipelines, ensuring seamless information flow and rapid turnaround.

• Systematically troubleshoot assay performance issues using data-driven approaches and scientific reasoning rather than cookbook methodologies.
• Establish and manage critical reagent qualification programs, reference standards, calibrators, and controls; design and execute bridging studies and lot-to-lot comparability assessments.
