Lithographic Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Centrillion Technologies develops advanced DNA Chips which have a wide range of applications, including whole genome sequencing, spatial biology, digital pathology, next generation genotyping, synthetic biology and DNA computing. Our world’s most advanced high resolution and highly sensitive spatial chips, chemistry, its lithographic design and encoding technologies have been licensed to 10x Genomics for spatial genomics and the spatial technologies have been commercialized as through 10x Genomics’ Visium HD spatial chips, exclusively in US and Centrillion’s Zipcode spatial chips for single cell level spatial genomics and digital pathology.

Our Palo Alto facility functions as a research institute where our team of scientists work on the latest in chemistry, biochemistry, genomics, electronics, artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics. Our current focus areas are chromosomal scale DNA sequencing, next generation genotyping, and exploratory DNA computing research.

Centrillion’s Molecular Vision Laboratory (MVL) is a leader in identification of genetic mutations in vision disorders. Centrillion is backed by venture capital and strategic investors and has operations in Silicon Valley, CA, Portland, OR and in Asia Pacific.
