Role Description

We are seeking an experienced leader to guide and grow our multi-disciplinary teams in protein sciences, amplification technologies, surface chemistry, and nanoparticle synthesis. You will be responsible for overseeing R&D efforts transitioning into robust product lines, including protein purification (FPLC, fermentation), DNA storage molecule manufacturing, surface functionalization, and nanoparticle production. This is a player/coach role, requiring both hands-on technical contributions initially and strategic leadership to build a high-performing organization as business needs expand.

If you are looking for a pivotal leadership position where you will shape and scale transformative biotechnology solutions, and a dynamic, innovative environment that values collaboration, growth, and continuous improvement, we’d love to hear from you.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Protein Engineering & Purification
    • Oversee protein purification pipelines (FPLC, fermentation) and drive the optimization of enzyme expression and purification methods.
    • Serve as the subject matter expert, providing guidance on troubleshooting, scale-up strategies, and process improvements.
    • Build and mentor a specialized protein sciences team over time.
  • Amplification Technologies
    • Lead efforts to optimize and productize PCR amplification and other isothermal technologies for DNA data storage molecule production and mail-in authentication services.
    • Drive next-generation amplification platform development that can be deployed in the field, ensuring reliability and ease of use.
  • Surface Chemistry & Treatment
    • Oversee functionalization of glass, plastic, and silicon surfaces using click chemistry.
    • Collaborate with internal R&D teams to incorporate surface treatments into commercial products and processes.
  • Nanoparticle Synthesis
    • Guide the development and scale-up of nanoparticle synthesis processes (e.g., Stöber process for silica nanoparticles).
    • Ensure quality and reproducibility for nanoparticle-based products.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership & Product Development
    • Translate research insights into scalable product lines, partnering with internal and external stakeholders.
    • Define and implement roadmaps, project plans, and key milestones for product introduction.
    • Serve as a strategic interface between technical teams, executive leadership, and customers.
  • Operational Excellence & Process Control
    • Implement and champion FMEAs, PFMEAs, Fishbone diagrams, process control charts, and other quality tools to stabilize and monitor processes.
    • Promote continuous improvement through data-driven decision-making and structured problem-solving methodologies.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree (Ph.D. preferred) in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of product development experience, 5+ years managing larger teams.
  • Proven track record translating R&D into commercial products in a scientific or biotech environment.

Requirements

  • Strong background in protein engineering and purification (FPLC, fermentation).
  • Molecular biology expertise, particularly in PCR amplification or other isothermal amplification technologies and related techniques.
  • Familiarity with surface functionalization (click chemistry) and nanoparticle synthesis (Stöber process).
  • Demonstrated experience with FMEA, PFMEA, Fishbone diagrams, and process control to improve manufacturing and scale-up workflows.
  • Proven ability to build, coach, and lead cross-functional teams, balancing hands-on technical work with high-level strategy.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for stakeholder engagement.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
  • 401K plan with company match
  • Stock Options
  • Employee Assistance Program
