Senior Scientist, Production

This is not a lab technician position. This is a senior scientist who owns assay quality, data QC and controls, and production troubleshooting across the entire experimental pipeline.

The production team runs 150+ experiments per month across expression, BLI, SPR, thermostability, and enzyme activity. When something goes wrong (failed expression, anomalous binding data, instrument artifacts), this person diagnoses the root cause and fixes it. As the assay and instrumentation portfolio expands, this person translates new R&D methods into production-ready protocols, builds robust methods that junior technicians can execute reliably, and designs comprehensive controls that enable automated QC and data processing.

This is a player-coach position. You will still run experiments personally, especially as you integrate into the lab, but you will also elevate the whole team's capabilities.

• Troubleshoot production failures across the full pipeline. A batch of proteins isn't expressing: is it the construct design, the expression system, or the media? BLI sensorgrams look noisy: is it the sensor tips, the sample prep, or an instrument issue? You figure it out, fix it, and make the cause easier to identify next time.
