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.
High ownership and autonomy in a fast-moving environment.

We are looking for a Data Scientist to work for a leader within energy industry. You will be responsible for the following: One of the major ones was through cost predictive analytics with Machine Learning. They took project level data and applied a machine learning model through adjustments and feature sets to produce the cost predictive outcomes. This led to all in cost per project through class 1/class 2 accuracy and they operationalized this in undergrounding and they will do this in other workstreams.
Schedule and trying to forecast milestone dates around data accuracy, explore ML for predictive analytics with scheduling on projects. If they know estimating date is this, what is the dependency date. Extrapolate beyond that what would be their execution start date. Another work stream they have started.
Cost predictive modeling: Existing model they can adapt and use
Scheduling Model: They have an initial model but will need to be tuned in the future, make enhancements and there could be opportunity to develop further
They will be the main person doing the R&D and be the one who helps with presentations to business. Articulate this information to high level key members (Directors and above). You will need to cross train individuals and write up documents for others to work from in the future.

They don't have good clarity on how much a project will cost on cash flow requirements on multiyear projects. Goal is to get Class 1 / Class 2 in first year of a multiple year project. Insight into financials two years prior to when you would typically receive. Milestones are not up to date and they need to follow in sequence and lack of maintenance and if they can predict each milestone with accuracy they would be in a better place.
