Roche Holdings Inc.
Overview
Roche Diagnostics acquired LumiraDx in 2024 for its unique Point of Care diagnostics platform. You will be an instrumental member of the R&D team to develop the molecular assays and next generation POC diagnostic platform. Roche is seeking a motivated scientist to join the Molecular Diagnostic group in San Diego. This individual will be responsible for working on all IVD product development aspects (including assay/systems optimization, validation & verification, and regulatory submissions) of LumiraDx's proprietary amplification technology, qSTAR on the Point-Of-Care instrument. This role requires deep scientific knowledge as well as technical expertise in designing and executing experiments in the areas of molecular and cell biology, and extraction/lysis/purification of genomic material. This role requires >80% of bench-level work. An ideal candidate will demonstrate technical skills in the lab, data analysis and report writing abilities and also aspire to grow as an independent product developer who can take more leadership opportunities in the future. The Opportunity
Your responsibilities in this role will include: Design and conduct hands-on experiments to achieve project goals and timelines Work in a BSL-2/2+ laboratory with potentially infectious agents, and other biological fluids of human and animal origin Execute experiments efficiently with high reproducibility, in collaboration with other members of R&D team Accurately and consistently record experimental methods, materials and results in electronic laboratory notebooks Analyze data, evaluate results, form conclusions and implement/document process improvements Integrate previous and current results to determine next experimental steps and the impact of long-range project goals Write and review technical documents including protocols, reports, methods, specifications, SOPs, and technical assessments Present at group or departmental meetings, providing progress updates and feedback on a regular basis Conduct data processing, create visualizations, design experiments (DOE), and perform statistical analysis (such as ANOVA) using tools like JMP, Excel, and others as needed May manage processes for projects, requiring delegation of work and review of others' work product Perform routine laboratory upkeep and maintenance duties as described in SOPs or assigned by R&D leadership Who you are
