Entry Level Product Development / Manufacturing Technician

Arbor Vita Corporation

Fremont, CA • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 3 days ago

Job description

Position type: Full time
Required education: Bachelor’s Degree
Area(s) of expertise desired:

Molecular Biology, biotechnology, and associated wet lab methods. Concept knowledge of product development and/or and manufacturing in a regulated environment.


Description
Arbor Vita Corporation is seeking a talented entry level product development / manufacturing technician who will be joining efforts in development and production of medical diagnostic products, among others in the areas of cancer, women’s health and respiratory disease. The position is at the interface of product development and manufacturing in a small but innovative biotechnology setting. Activities include wet-lab work, innovative method development and testing, and some hands-on manufacturing work. Tasks include analysis and presentation of approaches and data, and collaboration with the adjacent areas of quality assurance and at times with research and development.
Requirements
The position requires working knowledge and wet lab experience in general molecular biology laboratory methods and concepts; theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in activities like preparation of solutions and reagents, weighing techniques, pH adjustments, but also of methods in nucleic acid and protein purification, and/or cell culture techniques are highly advantageous. The qualified applicant will be able to learn and to apply new techniques, and to critically analyze and present data to the team. The position requires enthusiasm for innovative problem-solving, as well as interest in the requirements given by a regulated environment (GMP, ISO 13485).  Hands-on practical experience in expression and purification of recombinant proteins in E. coli, as well as hybridoma cell culture and antibody purification is highly desired.

Company Description

Arbor Vita Corporation is devoted to protecting the health of women of all ages, races, and geographic locations. Current screening methods, such as the Pap smear and HPV DNA tests, detect cervical cell changes or the presence of (often harmless) HPV, but require a sophisticated processing protocol, limiting their efficacy and applicability—especially in rural areas. By contrast, the OncoE6TM Cervical Test can be used in both advanced settings and ones with limited infrastructure. It requires no refrigeration, is easy to administer (even via self-collection), and yields results in just over two hours. What’s more, our test can capture the same urgent, accurate results for women under 21 and over 60 who have been marginalized by conventional testing.
