We are a fast-growing biomarker and precision diagnostics startup working on fluid-based profiling for neuroinflammation and CNS-related biology. Our lab spans both research-use-only (RUO) assay development and CLIA-aligned clinical workflows, with a strong focus on quality, speed, and reproducibility.
Role Summary
We are hiring a hands-on Immunoassay Technician to run ELISA-based assays, process samples from various specimens including human and mouse, and help scale high-throughput biomarker operations. This is a startup role: ownership, pace, and adaptability matter. CLIA/COLA required
Key Responsibilities
· Execute ELISA-based assays end-to-end (standards, controls, incubation, washing, detection)
· Prepare reagents, dilution series, and QC materials with precision
· Operate plate washers/readers; maintain timing-critical workflow discipline
· Process samples: centrifugation, plasma/serum separation, aliquoting
· Maintain cold-chain integrity and strict sample traceability
· Monitor assay QC (standard curves, CVs, acceptance criteria)
· Troubleshoot common assay failures (edge effects, high background, low signal)
· Support transfer onto automated immunoassay platforms (training provided)
· General lab and inventory management
Core Lab Competence (Required)
· Strong aseptic technique, contamination control, sample integrity discipline
· Excellent pipetting accuracy and GLP-grade documentation
· High personal ownership of run quality and repeatability
Troubleshooting & Maintenance
· Diagnose assay drift, control failures, high CVs
· Routine instrument upkeep: cleaning cycles, consumables, error logging
· Fast escalation and clear communication in a lean team
Data & Quality Systems
· Standard curve interpretation, LoD/LoQ fundamentals
· Familiarity with LIMS and audit-ready record keeping
· SOP adherence, deviations, CLIA/COLA awareness
· Chain-of-custody discipline across RUO + clinical sample environments
· Closely work with Bioinformatics and Analytics team
Preferred
· Biomarker panel experience (cytokines, inflammation, neuro/CNS markers)
· Exposure to multiplex or ultra-sensitive platforms (Simoa/Olink)
· Startup lab experience: flexible, delivery-focused
· Good work ethic and attention to detail.
Eligibility
· Must be authorised to work in the United States
· Equal Opportunity Employer
Pay: $25.00 - $35.00 per hour
Expected hours: 40.0 per week
