ROLE SUMMARY:

Roche Sequencing Solutions (RSS) is a fast moving, highly technical team of people with the ambitious goal of disrupting Next Generation DNA Sequencing. Our technology fuses active biological and solid-state elements to bring single molecule-based sequence detection to scale. Developing this unique platform requires expertise across a range of fields: Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Theory, Biophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Protein Engineering, Digital and Analog Circuit Design, and Electrochemistry, just to name a few.

We are looking for a highly motivated, passionate and team-oriented individual with laboratory experience in purifying and assaying proteins. They will be working as part of our bioproduction team in purifying proteins, making reagents and characterizing components of our sequencing technology. The individual must be careful, meticulous and pay attention to detail. Experience in protein purification, characterizing DNA polymerase and/or membrane proteins, generation and qualification or reagents is required.

The candidate will work as part of a small protein production team for the manufacturing of proteins and reagents. As part of the activity, the individual will help in the editing and documentation of Work Instructions, Batch Records and Test methods. The candidate will work on scaling up protein production protocols, developing analytical methods for characterizing proteins and reagents, writing QC protocols and setting specifications. Along with the entire group, the candidate will also manufacture reagents for the R & D staff.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

·  Development of existing reagent production protocols for RSS nanopore sequencing platform
·  Process development and optimization of multi steps protein purification protocols
·  Method development and protein characterization by analytical HPLC
·  Development and validation of high throughput florescence based enzyme activity assays, functional assays and contamination assays
·  Protein formulation and stability studies
·  SOP writing and communicating results during team progress meetings.
·  Supervision and training of junior scientists in multidisciplinary fast passed environments.
