Job description
The Role:
This unique entry-level Research Associate I position offers the rare chance to work across two core teams, Analytics and Protein Science. You'll gain hands-on experience supporting protein development, purification, and analysis, while learning how these disciplines work together to drive innovation in precision fermentation.
This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who thrives in the lab, loves variety, and wants to learn fast in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.
What you'll accomplish
- Generate data through basic biochemistry/molecular biology techniques (including but not limited to BCA, SDS-PAGE)
- Operate and maintain analytical equipment (e.g., HPLC-UV/RI and Combustion Analyzer, dynamic light scatterer, FPLC-UV, fluorescence/UV plate reader)
- Support protein characterization workflows through lab-scale protein powder generation involving bench-scale downstream processing unit operations (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, diafiltration)
- Prepare samples, reagents, and buffers to support cross-functional experiments
- Collaborate with scientists and engineers across teams to troubleshoot and iterate quickly as part of our Design, Build, Test, and Learn pipeline
- Present results to the technology organization in regular meetings of scientific teams
- Maintain lab organization, cleanliness, and proper documentation
What you bring (required)
- Bachelor's Degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or a related field
- Some hands-on lab experience (academic, internship, or industry), with an emphasis on analytical instrumentation familiarity
- A detail-oriented mindset exemplified in experiment note-taking, report writing, and communication of experimental results to team members
- Comfortable with basic wet lab techniques (especially pipetting with single and multichannel pipettes) and eager to learn new ones
- Collaborative, organized, and enthusiastic about working across teams
Why you'll love it here:
- Comprehensive benefits: 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401k matching, and stock options
- Tasty perks: Weekly catered lunches
- Customizable options: FSA, LSA, Commuter, Pet Care, and additional life insurance
- Work-life harmony: Flexible PTO and 10+ paid company holidays per year
- Onsite conveniences: Free parking and unlimited gym access
- Energizing refreshments: Unlimited sparkling water, granola bars, snacks, local coffee, and tea
- Exciting socials: happy hours and quarterly company outings
- Open communication: Monthly all-hands meetings and direct access to CEO and leadership
- Ideal location: Close to Daly City BART
Pay Range: $75,000 - $85,000
At EVERY pay ranges are subject to change and assigned to a job based on the location specific market median of similar jobs according to 3rd party salary benchmark surveys. Individual pay within that range can vary for several reasons including skills/capabilities, experience, and available budget.
