About the role

  • Our investors include some of the most respected names in healthcare and deep tech.

Responsibilities

  • Execute systematic experiments, and perform data analysis to characterize method performance.
  • Support the transfer of bench methods including hands-on protocol execution, method-comparison runs, and troubleshooting.
  • Support tech transfer and analytical validation activities through bench execution, troubleshooting, and documentation.
  • Maintain rigorous, well-organized experimental records (electronic lab notebook), generate clear data summaries and technical reports, and contribute to process and design documentation.
  • Collaborate with assay development, process engineering, automation, quality, and clinical operations to advance methods from feasibility through production.

Requirements

  • BS in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or a related field with 3+ years of relevant laboratory experience
  • or MS with 2+ years
  • Solid molecular biology and biochemistry fundamentals, with hands-on experience in library preparation and workflows.
  • Demonstrated bench proficiency in core techniques, with accurate, reproducible execution and strong attention to detail.
  • Rigorous, well-organized record-keeping and the ability to generate clear technical data summaries.
  • Experience with low-input or other challenging workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with liquid handling platforms.
  • Programming or scripting experience (Python, R) for data analysis or experimental workflows.
  • Familiarity with QC metrics and data interpretation.
  • Comfort operating in a stealth-stage, resource-constrained environment where the development roadmap is actively evolving.
  • Required:
  • or a PhD in a relevant field.
  • Working familiarity with structured experimental design and data analysis.
  • Ability to execute independently on assigned experiments and manage parallel bench work in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.
  • Preferred:
  • Exposure to a regulated or quality-driven environment and familiarity with design controls.

Compensation

  • Salary $110,000 - $120,000

Benefits

  • Influence the foundational technologies and strategies of a company poised to shape the future of clinical genomics and healthcare.
  • Competitive compensation and equity package, comprehensive benefits, and flexibility to support work-life integration.

Company info

  • We are a venture-backed, stealth-stage biotechnology company based in San Diego, focused on developing novel technologies that will redefine how disease is detected, characterized, and managed with a novel approach to clinical genomics.
  • Our mission is to fundamentally transform healthcare through a convergence of innovation across multiple scientific disciplines.
  • Founded by industry veterans with decades of experience in life sciences tools and diagnostics, our leadership team brings a proven track record of translating scientific insight into successful commercial products.
  • We are seeking a Scientist II to support the development, optimization, and maturation of molecular methods for clinical next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays.
  • Position Overview
  • This is a hands-on, bench-focused individual contributor role: executing the experiments that move nucleic acid extraction and library preparation methods from feasibility toward robust, automation-ready processes suitable for transfer to clinical lab operations.
  • Working closely with senior scientists and process engineers, the Scientist II will run structured experiments, generate and analyze high-quality data, and contribute to the optimization of buffer formulations, reaction conditions, and process parameters that drive method performance and stability.
  • The role is well suited to a scientist with strong molecular biology fundamentals and solid bench execution who is ready to grow toward independent method development in a rigorous, quality-oriented environment where methods are actively evolving.
