DNA Script
DNA Script is a leading company in manufacturing de novo synthetic nucleic acids using enzymatic DNA synthesis (EDS) technology. The company aims at accelerating innovation in life science and technology through the decentralization of rapid, on demand and high-quality DNA synthesis. DNA Script's approach leverages nature's billions of years of evolution in synthesizing DNA to set a new standard for customizing nucleic acid synthesis thus accelerating discovery in genetics, genomics, and synthetic biology. Discovery disciplines with profound impacts upon humanity such as biopharma, translational genetics and even molecular information storage all start with synthetic DNA. The company has recently initiated the commercialization of its first EDS powered platform, the SYNTAX system.
To date, DNA Script has raised over $315M of financing, with leading investors such as Coatue Management, Fidelity Management and Research, Catalio Capital Management, Casdin Capital, LSP, Bpifrance Large Ventures, Danaher, Illumina Ventures, Agilent, Merck Ventures, Sofinnova Partners, Kurma Partners, T Rowe Price, Baillie Gifford and Eurazeo.
DNA Script also partners on technology and product development with leading organizations such as DARPA, IARPA, Moderna Therapeutics, GE Research, Illumina, the Broad Institute, Harvard University, Institut Pasteur and the French Department of Defense.
DNA Script has its research and manufacturing facilities headquartered in Paris, France, and is in the process of expanding its commercial and development teams in South San Francisco.
Opportunity and Challenges :
We are looking to assemble a team of best-in-class, innovative and passionately eager people. We want to gather their talents and skills to achieve one goal: unlock the power of “DNA-write.” We offer the opportunity of joining a dynamic, international, and highly skilled team in a pioneering startup. Our DNA On Demand platform not only has the potential to change the way the world makes and uses synthetic DNA, but also to accelerate the rate of discovery by delivering upon the promise of same-day results.
This is an opportunity to join a rapidly growing company and to have a large impact on developing a technology that will have far-reaching impacts across biological sciences.
The Role
Within DNA Script, the Synthesis Platform Team is in charge of synthesizing oligonucleotides for various molecular biology applications, as well as validating new reagents and new analytical methods for manufacturing.
As part of the company expansion moving towards commercialization, reagent manufacturing is scaling-up and therefore reagent product development is becoming a full-time activity with a dedicated reagent product development team performing for example stability studies, ensuring second providers, improving packaging and cost. The reagent product development team is being currently staffed.
Therefore, DNA Script is looking for a Product Development Bioengineer for Enzymatic DNA Synthesis.
The candidate will be responsible for ensuring a smooth transition from R&D to manufacturing by running reagent stability tests, reagents guard banding tests, reagent packaging tests by mainly performing enzymatic synthesis on a liquid handler, analyzing and documenting the results, for all the reagents involved in enzymatic DNA synthesis (such as buffers, enzymes, nucleotides).
He/she will be collaborating with the R&D team, the manufacturing team and the QC team and will be directly involved in the reporting of DNA Script product performances and contribute to their improvement. The position will require a lot of transversal and interdisciplinary communication mostly with the manufacturing team in France and US, the R&D synthesis team and the QC team.
