About the Job
DESCRIPTION
We are rapidly expanding our technology team and are seeking a talented
research associate who can successfully bridge and innovate across the
different disciplines of engineering, biology, chemistry, and
mathematics. You must be able to rapidly learn new technologies, be a
self-starter, take initiative to apply your skills to complex research
problems, and innovate solutions for real-world problems. An intense
passion for learning and expanding your skills and knowledge is
essential for you to be part of our team.
In this position, you will get the chance to see how “theory meets
practice” by using your skills in wet chemical experimentation to
research real, practical challenges and give valuable feedback to the
engineering and analytics side of the R&D efforts. You will also
have the opportunity to see how chemical insights get incorporated into
signal processing algorithms by helping to analyze and interpret your
results and seeing how the two ends meet.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Design and perform experiments to probe the biochemical and electrochemical responses from biosensor devices.
Analyze experimental data using computational tools and work with
the Engineering and Manufacturing teams to implement next-generation
technologies.
Help create and build next-generation nano-scale biosensors.
Evaluate biosensors in real-world clinical settings (possible travel in US and Europe).
Maintain detailed laboratory notes with well organized records and
data such that contributions to intellectual property are well
documented.
Regularly report process to research team and management using a
variety of communication media including wiki discussions,
presentations, and reports.
QUALIFICATIONS
Technical Requirements:
BS in Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, or related science or engineering field.
0-3 years commercial experience with wet chemistry experimentation.
Familiarity with general laboratory equipment (e.g. microbalances,
compressed gas, auto-titrators, spectrophotometers, pipettes, etc) and
good laboratory practices
Experience handling blood samples.
Excellent analytical skills including mathematics, statistics, data handling, and analyzing data using spreadsheets.
General Requirements:
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and ability to present research findings to peers and management.
Ability to work both independently with minimal direction and as a team player in a flexible and interdisciplinary environment.
Eagerness to challenge yourself to learn new technologies in a fast-paced research and product-development environment.
Preferred:
Programming skills, including MatLab, SQL, VB, VBA,, PHP, Perl, etc.
Experience creating custom templates in Excel using macros.
Experience developing medical and analytical equipment.
Experience with a mass production environment
Knowledge of electrochemistry, mass transport, enzyme kinetics, and biosensors.
Understanding of the disease and treatment of Diabetes Mellitus
COMPENSATION
As a pre-IPO, growing company, we offer a competitive compensation
package with benefits including health insurance, dental plan, long
term disability, life insurance, and 401k.
