About Glyphic:

At Glyphic Biotechnologies, we plan to create the protein revolution for which scientists and researchers have been waiting. We are developing a massively parallel, single-molecule proteome sequencing platform that will transform life science discovery and usher in a new era of insights into human biology and disease. To date, we have raised >$50M from venture partners and non-dilutive grant funding to achieve our vision of next generation proteome sequencing.

What we are looking for in you:

Glyphic is seeking an experienced applications engineer to translate our cutting-edge single molecule proteome sequencing protocols to automated instrumentation. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience developing complex assays on the Hamilton Star liquid handling platform for DNA & protein biochemistry and/or NGS applications. The engineer will work with a cross-disciplinary team of chemists, biologists, engineers, and bio-informaticians to deploy robust production processes across a range of laboratory automation and custom microfluidic instruments.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, deploy, and rapidly improve automated protein sequencing solutions in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Evaluate new instrumentation fit for purpose and integrate new automated capabilities into existing platform

• Partner with R&D to translate existing benchtop protocols and new protocol concepts across multiple platforms to demonstrate feasibility

• Define standardized liquid handler programming schema for rapid protocol, labware, and liquid class reusability

• Utilize scheduling software to integrate multiple instruments and optimize automated protocols for throughput

• Analyze complex experimental data, generate detailed reports, and provide actionable insights to guide further development.

• Maintain expertise on alternate methods, techniques and best practices used in the field; routinely benchmark process performance

• Thoroughly document the development lifecycle:

  • User requirements and instrument selection

  • IQ/OQ/PQ

  • Operator SOPs and training materials

  • Instrument docs and maintenance procedures

Required Competencies:

• Degree in bioengineering, biology, chemistry, or related field, PhD preferred

• 6+ years hands-on industry experience with liquid handlers and lab automation

• Extensive experience developing assays on Hamilton Microlab Star / Venus

• Experience troubleshooting complex instrument/assay issues, performing root cause analysis, and driving corrective actions in a production environment

• Experience quantifying and qualifying your work through IQ/OQ/PQ

• Experience with laboratory information management systems

• Advanced programming and data modeling/analysis skills (Python, C++, vendor platforms)

Preferred:

• Experience with protein-based assays, nucleic acids biochemistry, and bioconjugation

• Experience developing and deploying methods in a regulated environment (GxP/CLIA/CAP/ISO)

• Experience with instrument integrations and scheduling software

• Experience developing of a commercial product

Benefits and Perks:

• Employee Stock Option Plan

• 100% Health Plan Coverage for Employees & Dependents (Medical, Dental, & Vision)

• Employer Retirement Contributions to 401(k)

• Generous Paid Time Off

• Paid Maternity and Paternity Leave
