Scientist - II

About you: You are a detail-oriented scientist with a strong foundation in biological or chemical sciences and a growing depth of experience in immunoassay development. You are motivated, curious, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary environment. You bring hands-on lab experience from academic or industry settings and are eager to contribute to the development of innovative diagnostic products while taking on greater technical ownership. What you’ll do: Design, execute, and independently analyze experiments for immunoassay development, integration, and validation. Document experimental results clearly and present data at internal meetings and project reviews. Troubleshoot assay performance issues and contribute to continuous process improvement efforts. Operate, maintain, and help optimize laboratory instrumentation such as plate readers, liquid handlers, and other relevant tools. Contribute to technical documentation, assay workflows, and technology transfer activities. Follow standard operating procedures and quality guidelines to support compliance with regulatory standards such as cGMP and ISO 13485. Support lab organization, including inventory management, equipment maintenance, and supply tracking. Collaborate closely with clinical, regulatory, engineering, quality, and manufacturing teams to support project timelines and deliverables. Help drive experimental planning, data interpretation, and decision-making for assay development programs. Adhere to company guidelines on code of conduct and lab safety practices to maintain an organized and compliant laboratory environment. What you’ll need: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Life Sciences, Biochemistry, Bioengineering, or a related field. 4+ years of laboratory experience in academic or industry settings. Strong understanding of immunoassay principles such as ELISA and lateral flow assays. Hands-on experience with common lab techniques and data analysis tools. Experience interpreting experimental data and contributing to assay troubleshooting or optimization. Strong organizational, written, and verbal communication skills. A collaborative mindset with the ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned work. Commitment to lab safety, quality standards, and continuous improvement. Bonus points for: Experience with nanoparticles, microfluidics, automated laboratory systems, protein conjugation, immobilization chemistry, or statistical analyses. Prior exposure to technology transfer, assay development, or regulatory submission support. Experience writing SOPs and lab documentation, or using eQMS systems. Familiarity working in a startup environment and a demonstrated ability to creatively solve problems. Appreciation for puns and a positive, team-oriented attitude. Why Join Us?
