The position emphasizes hands-on assay execution, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration with molecular biology, automation, and manufacturing teams. Key Responsibilities Design, perform, and interpret experiments to optimize bead-cell pairing using defined physical and biochemical boundaries (bead-to-cell ratio, mixing conditions, surface density, coating fraction, geometry, etc.). Develop and characterize bead surfaces, including antibody or ligand conjugation, and orientation to control valency, maximize single bead binding, and minimize doublets. Quantify binding outcomes (1:1 yield, doublet rate, nonspecific binding) using microscopy, flow cytometry, and kinetic binding assays. Apply structured optimization frameworks (DoE, sequential sweeps) to identify parameter boundaries for yield and purity. Collaborate with downstream assay scientists to connect physical pairing parameters with molecular capture efficiency and sequencing performance. Document results and transfer optimized conditions into manufacturing and QC pipelines. Qualifications PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Bioengineering, or related field with 3+ years of relevant postdoctoral or industry experience. Proven track record developing or optimizing surface-based biological assays (e.g., bead assays, immunoassays, biosensors). Expertise in surface functionalization and conjugation chemistry (e.g., antibodies, biotin-streptavidin, protein A/G, covalent coupling). Proficiency with plate-based systems (96/384-well formats), quantitative microscopy, and/or flow cytometry. Strong statistical and data-analysis skills, including use of DoE and curve fitting tools (JMP, R, Python, or equivalent). Excellent documentation, communication, and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills. Preferred Experience Working knowledge of binding kinetics, diffusion, or transport models sufficient to interpret or apply internal frameworks; experience performing modeling or simulation is advantageous but not required. Familiarity with orbital/pipette mixing dynamics and microscale hydrodynamics. Experience integrating physical assay parameters with downstream molecular outcomes. Comfort in a fast-paced, experimental development environment. What We Offer A chance to build something truly transformative from the ground up.
