At Nautilus, we have a big and important mission: improve the health of millions by unleashing the potential of the proteome to accelerate drug development and enable a new world of precision and personalized medicine. We are developing a single-molecule protein analysis platform of unprecedented sensitivity, scale, and ease of use that we believe will democratize access to the proteome – one of the most dynamic and valuable sources of biological insight. To accomplish this, we are pursuing deep, hard science with an entrepreneurial mindset and creating a world-class team of builders, innovators, and dreamers across a wide range of disciplines.
The Assay Development group plays a central role at Nautilus, engaging at the interface of science, engineering and operations, to deliver game-changing proteomics technologies. You will devise and implement methods to ensure robust assay performance and deliver upon product specifications. Your specific focus will be on using an assay development mindset to optimize the performance of the assay for factors such as breadth of coverage, reproducibility, LOD, LOQ, etc.
The successful candidate will be a flexible and collaborative self-starter with extensive experience in designing, executing, analyzing, and interpreting complex, multi-factorial experiments. Reporting results to multidisciplinary teams is required for this role. Strong troubleshooting skills, critical thinking, and attention to detail are essential. The ideal candidate will be adaptable and thrive in a startup environment.
