We’re looking for a Chemical engineer to join our Innovation group. Ongoing projects deal with custom
fluorescent probe design and optimization and new formulations of reagents for digital PCR (PCR oil and
PCR mix). Potential future projects could deal with new sample extraction methods for liquid biopsies or
new particles for PCR readout. Importantly, the Chemical engineer will be the technical expert for internal
surfactant improvement projects and surfactant manufacturing projects. Lastly, the Chemical engineer will
manage the in-house Chemistry lab in collaboration with the Operations team.
