Manufacturing Associate, DNA Synthesis : Tuesday - Saturday, DAY SHIFT
Our mission at Ansa Biotechnologies is to revolutionize the way we make DNA. We are putting nature to work, creating novel enzymatic solutions that will redefine how we build DNA. DNA synthesis is the fuel for that transformation.
Currently hiring for day shift Tuesday - Saturday.
We believe lab automation facilitates novel synthetic biology applications through the synthesis of high-quality DNA at scale. In this role, you will accelerate the rate of discovery by developing and utilizing automated systems to dramatically impact synthetic biology. As one of the first members of our manufacturing team, you will help build and support a growing and critical part of our operations. Beyond manufacturing, you will be part of a dynamic, cross‑functional, highly collaborative team operating at the interface between chemists, synthetic chemists, enzymologists, and automation experts.
Responsibilities
Routinely start, purify and ship custom DNA oligonucleotide products using a novel enzymatic synthesis technology.
Leverage new protocols and implement them into a rapidly scaling manufacturing pipeline working alongside a multidisciplinary team (manufacturing personnel, technology transfer & development departments).
Regular activities range from reagent and buffer preparation to cloning and cell culture purification work.
Operate using standard operating procedures (SOP) to execute a number of DNA synthesis equipment and sample traceability (LIMS) processes.
Work with teammates to design and scale next‑generation manufacturing systems for Ansa’s growing platform.
Must be able to lift 50 lbs and stand for long periods of time.
Collaborate in a team environment: At Ansa, communication between teams is critical—our technology is built on enzymes, chemistry, and automation. We also believe that honesty and openness are integral to scientific work.
Experience
Comprehensive knowledge of and experience with molecular cloning and bacterial cell culture gained through education or hands‑on industry experience.
Working knowledge of liquid‑handling robots (e.g., Hamilton, Tecan, Agilent Bravo) and similar high‑throughput manufacturing tools.
Experience following SOPs and directions for both simple and highly complex processes.
Ability to learn and adapt quickly in a multidisciplinary environment with tight deadlines and specifications.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to clearly discuss and present technical concepts and results.
Commitment to demonstrating kindness, respect, and collaboration with a diverse set of colleagues from different backgrounds and disciplines.
What We Offer
Competitive hourly pay and equity.
Generous benefits package including health, dental, and vision.
Ongoing professional development and training opportunities.
A collaborative and innovative work environment.
The opportunity to be part of a company at the forefront of synthetic biology and innovation.
$27–$37.50/hr
– Dependent upon experience
