Process Engineering Associate I/II, Oncology

We are looking for a Process Engineering Associate to join our growing superstar Process Engineering team in support of clinical patient testing in our high throughput CLIA lab. The PEA I is responsible for (1) developing new tools for improved clinical workflow efficiency, (2) analyzing process data to monitor and troubleshoot our high-throughput assays, 3) identifying root causes of recurring errors with proper documentation to enable long term corrective actions.

This role will enable an individual to gain both deep and broad experience in the areas of process engineering, data analysis, experimental design, and automation. This position will also allow time to apply knowledge of coding languages like python and R to real world problems encountered within high paces and dynamic clinical laboratories.

This is considered an onsite role and will require the majority of days to be spent in the Menlo Park office.

- Apply sound engineering practices to scale, optimize, and improve molecular biology methods.

- Conduct experiments to identify, isolate, and confirm root causes of process errors in our high-throughput molecular biology lab.

- Develop methods to compile and analyze large amounts of process data to assess for process stability, trending, and areas for improvement.

- Develop and implement software tools to aid in efficient sample processing within the clinical laboratory.

- Develop, implement, and use software tools to quantitatively analyze process efficiency and sources of error, to require moderate proficiency in R or Python.

- Identify root causes for process and instrument errors and develop short term and long term solutions.

- Develop effective training plans for clinical personnel on modified/improved workflows.

- Support transfer of new technology from Research and Development teams to the CLIA lab.

- Generate proper documentation for all troubleshooting and qualification.

- Bachelor's degree or equivalent degree in biology or clinical related sciences

- At least 6 months of experience with molecular biology techniques in a research or clinical laboratory

- Previous automation or clinical laboratory experience is preferred

- A variety of perks on campus (state of the art gym, restaurant)

- Free on-site EV charging (compatible with all EVs, including Tesla)

At BillionToOne, we are proud to offer a combination of a (1) base pay range (actual amount offered is based on experience and salary/equity options split that the candidate chooses) (2) generous equity options offering, on top of (3) industry leading company benefits (free healthcare options, 401k match, very generous fully paid paternal leave etc.).
