This role is primarily onsite at our Menlo Park location and reports to the Sr. Automation Scientist, Development, Oncology.
Ready to redefine what’s possible in molecular diagnostics? This is where cutting‑edge science meets human compassion, and where your contributions help drive better patient outcomes in prenatal and cancer diagnostics.
Responsibilities
Support the development and optimization of molecular biology processes for larger‑scale oncology diagnostics products in the development pipeline.
Collaborate with Research, bioinformatics, process engineering, and CLIA teams to implement solutions that integrate into product development workflows and production facilities.
Contribute to the development and implementation of automation solutions for new assays and diagnostic features.
Assist with data analysis and bioinformatics tasks to support test development and refinement, ensuring accuracy and precision.
Work as part of an interdisciplinary team to help develop scalable diagnostic tests.
Maintain comprehensive documentation, including experimental designs, process optimizations, validations, and standard operating procedures.
Present updates on assigned tasks and project progress to team members and management.
Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (preferred) in Chemistry, Engineering, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Bioengineering, or a related field.
Strong skills in statistical and first‑principle thinking.
1–3 years of experience in a research or industry setting, preferably with exposure to automation engineering or process development.
Experience with liquid handling systems (e.g., Agilent Bravo, Hamilton STAR, Biomek) and/or next‑generation sequencing technologies is a plus.
Proficiency in coding languages such as Python, Java, and strong data analysis skills.
Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey scientific and engineering concepts.
Ability to collaborate effectively with others within the team and across different teams.
Nice‑to‑Haves
Molecular biology/nucleic acid chemistry experience.
Background in bioinformatics.
Experience working in regulated environments (CLIA, CAP, FDA).
Experience with laboratory information management systems (LIMS).
Benefits
Working with a team of ‘rockstars’ who bring out the best in everyone
Open, transparent culture that includes weekly Town Hall meetings
The ability to indirectly or directly change the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients
Multiple medical benefit options; employee premiums paid 100% of select plans, dependents covered at 80%
Extremely generous Family Bonding Leave for new parents (16 weeks, paid at 100%)
Retirement savings program including a 4% Company match
Free daily on‑site lunches provided from top eateries
Latest hardware and facilities
A variety of campus perks (gym, restaurant, etc.)
Free on‑site EV charging (compatible with all EVs, including Tesla)
For this position, BillionToOne offers a total compensation package which may include base pay, equity options, and bonus programs, with a base pay range in this example of $83,232 - $93,636 per year, plus benefits.
