Reporting to: Supervisor of HTP Platform
Employment Type: Full-time

Role Description:

We are seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Associate Scientist to join our High-Throughput Protein Production Laboratory. This role supports automation-driven workflows for recombinant protein generation using advanced liquid handling platforms. The successful candidate will contribute to large-scale, high-throughput protein production processes, including upstream handling, purification, and downstream analytical characterization.

This position operates in a highly process-driven environment where automation, aseptic technique, and robust sample tracking are critical. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with automated laboratory systems, possesses strong organizational skills, and has experience with laboratory data management platforms such as ELN, LIMS, or similar systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute high-throughput protein production workflows using automated liquid handling systems (e.g., Lynx platform) in a reproducible and efficient manner.

• Operate and monitor automated protocols for processes including:

• Mammalian cell culture handling

• Protein purification workflows

• Sample aliquoting and distribution

• Perform laboratory operations under aseptic conditions to support recombinant protein expression and processing activities.

• Monitor automated runs and identify workflow deviations, ensuring adherence to established SOPs and quality standards.

• Manage high-throughput sample workflows, including sample tracking, plate mapping, labeling, and inventory control to ensure traceability and data integrity.

• Document experimental procedures and process parameters accurately in ELN, LIMS, or equivalent systems in compliance with data integrity requirements.

• Support maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting of automation platforms and associated laboratory equipment.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (analytical, process development, and operations) to meet project timelines and deliverables.

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including workflow optimization, automation efficiency, and process scalability.

Qualifications:

• BS or MS in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Analytical Chemistry, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant laboratory experience in protein production or characterization.

• Hands-on experience with automated liquid handling systems (e.g., Dynamic Devices Lynx, Hamilton, Tecan) is strongly preferred.

• Familiarity with protein production workflows, including mammalian cell culture, purification, or high-throughput screening environments.

• Experience with laboratory data systems such as ELN, LIMS, or similar platforms.

• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and commitment to data integrity and traceability.

• Experience in a CRO/CDMO or high-throughput platform environment is a plus.
