Relentless Health

• Develop, optimize and validate analytical methods primarily using Thermo Scientific Q-Exactive and Exploris mass spectrometers using LC-MS and other types of mass spectrometric methods to identify and quantify metabolic compounds and exogenous compounds (including carcinogens and toxins).
• Create laboratory developed tests (LDTs) to be implemented in a CLIA environment.
• Design, implement bench-scale experiments with multiple variables for small molecule compounds.
• Be a champion for data quality making judgment calls on qualitative and quantitative validity of analytical data and drive the directions of research projects towards definite conclusions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other R&D teams and successfully communicate with people who have little or no knowledge of mass spectrometry and metabolomics.
• Maintain meticulous experimental records.
• Mentor junior team members.
• Voice ideas, concerns, and solutions as an active team member.
• Being able to work in an environment which comes with shifting priorities.
