If you thrive on developing rigorous, quantitative immunoassays, including challenging free/competitive assays, and want your work to directly ship in a consumer device used by millions, this is one of the rarest opportunities in diagnostics today. This role sits at the center of platform innovation, contributing directly to analytical chemistry, surface chemistry, microfluidics, and silicon photonics integration. You will shape a growing assay menu that spans hormones, inflammatory markers, metabolic proteins, and future pediatric/specialty panels. +++ What You'll Do +++ Core Assay Development Develop quantitative sandwich and competitive immunoassays (including free hormone assays, displacement-driven formats, and low-abundance biomarkers) on a silicon-photonic resonance platform. Design, execute, and interpret experiments focused on: Binding kinetics & equilibrium optimization Surface functionalization strategies Competitive assay dynamic-range shaping Calibrator and control development (matrix selection, commutability) Assay precision, stability, robustness Analytical Performance & Validation Own assay verification and validation aligned with CLSI standards (EP05, EP06, EP07, EP09, EP10, EP17).
