Veranome Biosystems LLC, an Applied Materials company, provides the spatial analysis market with a reliable, easy-to-use, end-to-end multi-omics solution. We enable researchers to deepen their understanding of diseases with high-quality data of how individual cells organize within tissues, using robust workflows, reliable imaging systems, and without the need for extensive bioinformatics tools or infrastructure.  Veranome’s unique combination of genomics expertise and world-class, high-speed diffraction-limited optical imaging capabilities enables researchers to access in-situ spatial omics and elucidate reliable disease insights with unsurpassed data quality.

Job Summary:

We are seeking a motivated and high-performing individual to join the assay development team. In this role, you will develop advanced bio-assays and establish handling and preparation procedures for samples to be analyzed on the platform.  The ideal candidate will be comfortable executing and managing multi-disciplinary research to improve assay performance and reliability. 

Your work will include planning, executing, and analyzing experiments, using a range of techniques including cell and tissue culture, assay optimization, imaging, and bio-informatics.  You will be part of a team of experts where everyone collaborates and is willing to help, and is highly motivated by the ground-breaking results we are achieving.

This position will require you to:

• Develop assays using molecular biology, biochemistry, and microscopy techniques to enable new applications on the spatial transcriptomics platform
• Develop and apply sample handling and preparation techniques for optimal imaging and analysis of a wide range of biological samples, including cell lines, organoids, and tissues
• Work closely with a multi-disciplinary team of biologists, biochemists, bioinformaticians, hardware and software engineers to review, interpret, integrate and present experimental data, both internally and to research collaborators

Education and Experience:

MS/PhD in a Life Sciences field with at least 5 years of experience in developing biological assays and working with various detection technologies

Key Competencies:

• Proven track record in the development of advanced bio-imaging assays
• Broad experience in sample preparation and handling of a range of sample types (e.g. cells, organoids, tissues)
• Experience with histology, immunochemistry, in-situ hybridization, and fluorescence imaging systems
• Experience with varied signal amplification approaches, including isothermal amplification, and techniques such as HCR and TSA
• Experience with NGS technologies, including single-cell sequencing is preferred
• Familiarity with image processing and data analysis is preferred
• Skill and experience developing timelines and tracking projects, and managing multiple stakeholders (including internal and external collaborators)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Fluent in English

This position will report to the Director of Assay Development in Santa Clara. The position is based in Mountain View and will require some travel.
