• Provide bioinformatics expertise throughout the assay development lifecycle, from initial sequencing and validation through production implementation.
• Develop, implement, and maintain analytical tools and pipelines for processing diagnostic data from disease, germline, and cell-free DNA samples.
• Create and streamline bioinformatics workflows that improve assay development efficiency, data quality, reproducibility, and scalability.
• Troubleshoot bioinformatics and data-quality issues to ensure the integrity, accessibility, and reliability of diagnostic data.
• Establish and promote best practices for documenting, training, maintaining, and scaling algorithms, tools, and computational workflows.
• Perform scientific and business analyses to address the needs of internal and external stakeholders.
• Communicate project results, technical findings, and team progress across scientific teams and organizational functions.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years of relevant experience.
• Expertise in DNA/RNA sequencing, NGS, and scRNA-seq data analysis and interpretation.
• Hands-on experience with 10x Genomics analysis workflows.
• Strong understanding of molecular biology principles and familiarity with next-generation sequencing laboratory processes.
• Proficiency in R and/or Python.
• Experience working within a distributed Linux environment.
• Ability to create clear and insightful visualizations from complex biological datasets.
• Strong scientific communication and presentation skills.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with both computational and wet lab scientists.

Preferred:

• PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, or a related field with 2+ years of industry experience in clinical diagnostics or a related domain.
• Alternatively, a Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistics, or a related field with 5+ years of industry experience in clinical diagnostics or a related domain.
• Experience programming in C++ or Java.
• Experience supporting bioinformatics workflows within clinical diagnostics or assay development environments.
