- Client is seeking a Senior Research Associate (RA3) to support R&D product development of molecular diagnostic systems through the fabrication and testing of prototype consumables.
- This role is focused on hands on work in a clean environment, including inspection and assembly of plastic and mechanical components (ultrasonic and laser welding, manual assembly), and integration of biological reagents (e.g., enzymes, buffers) into consumable formats.
- The Senior Research Associate will execute and improve build processes, contribute to product and process optimization, and collaborate cross functionally with Assay Development, Engineering, and Manufacturing.
Duties & Responsibilities:
Prototype Consumable Build & Assembly
- Perform hands-on assembly of prototype consumables and subassemblies in a clean/controlled environment, following written build instructions and standard operating procedures.
- Use ultrasonic and laser welding equipment to join plastic and other components; optimize basic weld parameters under guidance from Engineering.
- Perform manual assembly operations (e.g., insertion of components, bonding, fastening, sealing) using hand tools, fixtures, and semi-automated equipment.
- Inspect incoming and in-process parts using calipers, microProducts, gauges, and/or vision systems to ensure components meet specifications.
- Document build parameters, lot information, and observations accurately in lab notebooks and electronic systems.
Reagent Integration (Enzymes, Buffers, and Other Liquids)
- Prepare and handle biological reagents (e.g., enzymes, buffers, controls) according to protocols and quality requirements.
- Dispense and integrate reagents into consumable cartridges or devices using manual pipetting and/or liquid-handling equipment.
- Perform stability and basic functional checks on reagent-loaded consumables in collaboration with assay development scientists.
- Contribute to optimization of reagent fill processes to support robustness, manufacturability, and assay performance.
