1 week ago
ABOUT US:
At Volta Labs, we are revolutionizing the future of genomics. We are a Boston based, venture–backed biotech startup that makes extracting vital information from biological samples is as simple as pressing a button, through our flagship product Callisto. Our product speeds up processing time for scientists and increases accessibility to important genetic information for patients. Sitting at the intersection of science and engineering, we invite you to join us on our journey to shape the future of genomics, where insatiable curiosity is encouraged and every Voltarian makes an impact.
THE TEAM:
You'll join a team of innovative thinkers who love to experiment, collaborate, and win together. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of automation, biology, computing, robotics, design, and user experience to benefit our customers and the world.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
As a Genomic Assay Development Scientist at Volta, you will be responsible for collaboratively designing, optimizing, and overseeing the development of genomic assays for our digital fluidic platform. Your expertise in next–generation sequencing and molecular biology will contribute to project management and product development. A PhD or MSc in a relevant field, along with hands–on experience in NGS platforms and a proactive, collaborative mindset, are essential qualifications for this role. Experience with instrument and platform development, as well as the ability to work with cross–functional teams, is highly valued.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
– Design, develop, and optimize genomic assays for implementation on Volta's proprietary digital fluidic platform.
– Lead the development and optimization of assays such as library preparation Illumina, ONT and PacBio Sequencing.
– Contribute to the management of projects through feasibility, development, and validation.
– Act as the subject matter expert and continuously drive product development through internal and external collaborations.
QUALIFICATIONS:
– PhD or MSc in cellular and/or molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry or a related discipline.
– 3+ years of relevant experience in an assay development environment.
– Demonstrated hands–on experience with next–generation sequencing, including platforms like Illumina, Oxford Nanopore or PacBio across diverse sample types (e.g. purified DNA, microbial, fresh and FFPE tissue material, blood, etc.).
– Experience with new instrument and platform development.
– Proficient in effective collaboration within a dynamic team environment, adeptness at adjusting to shifting priorities, and ability to readily offering solutions.
– Embraces a growth mindset as a continuous learner.
– Fluent in team coordination and communication, including the ability to synthesize and relay technical information to both specialists and non–specialists.
If your work is not in NGS but in a related peripheral field, please apply. Examples include synthetic biology, cell and gene therapy, protein sequencing or general experience in biochemistry optimization. Expertise in at least one domain is required.
This is a full–time position that requires a significant amount of in–person work and collaboration onsite at our Seaport Office in Boston, MA. If you are unable to relocate or commute to the Boston MA area, this role won't be a match.
