Key Responsibilities

Design, execute, analyze, and document experiments to support feasibility, development, integration, verification, and validation of NGS workflows.
Perform sample preparation, library preparation, sequencing-related experiments, and verification studies.
Use the Single Molecule Sequencing platform to optimize final operating protocols and support system-level integration activities.
Interpret experimental results using appropriate experimental design and statistical analysis methods.
Troubleshoot instrument, workflow, or assay-related failures using standard root cause analysis methods.
Collaborate with subject matter experts to understand failure modes and identify appropriate solutions.
Develop, execute, and document test cases based on product requirements for verification and validation activities.
Maintain accurate, well-organized, and concise laboratory records using best laboratory practices.
Work cross-functionally with assay, instrumentation, software, bioinformatics, and systems teams to resolve integration challenges.
Support continuous improvement of sequencing performance, including coverage, throughput, robustness, reproducibility, and overall system reliability.
