About the role
Eli is looking for an R&D Scientist/Engineer. You will be a key member of our R&D team, helping to discover new ways to improve current and future iterations of our assay technology. Your primary responsibilities will be to:
- Contribute to building a novel technology that can shape the next generation of women’s healthcare and at-home testing.
- Act as a technical leader for the lateral flow development team and mentor associates through assay design, development, and optimization.
- Independently design experiments with an exceptional variable control for lateral flow assay development and optimization.
- Run experiments, record and analyze data, as well as interpret and present results to your team.
- Find creative and innovative ways to solve R&D challenges.
- Maintain high-quality work and organization while conducting experiments at a very high rate.
- Exercise exceptional wet laboratory etiquette, team collaboration skills, and work ethic.
This description is not exhaustive. You will have a lot of autonomy over your work as Eli’s technology and research efforts progress.
About you
- You have a Bachelor's and/or Master's Degree in Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Analytical Chemistry, or a related field of applied chemistry/biology.
- You have 1-3+ years of assay development experience in industry.
- You have a proven track record in lateral flow assay (LFA) development (other keywords include: lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA), In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD), point-of-care diagnostics, rapid diagnostic tests, paper-based sensors, biosensors, microfluidic).
- You have experience in end-to-end product development and optimization as a technical leader. You have brought assays through key points in their life cycles (conception, verification, manufacturing, commercialization, etc.)
- You are a very independent scientist who enjoys collaborating and sharing knowledge and ideas. You think critically and creatively.
- An asset if some of your experience was at an early-stage startup or related environment (fast-paced, high-growth, innovative, small independent teams, etc.)
