Job Description

How will you make an impact?

Working in collaborative group environment, we manufacture high quality custom oligonucleotides in a high efficiency, fast paced setting. These oligos manufactured are used in a variety of applications including helping perform genetic research, diagnose disease and help with food supply.

What will you do?

You work with a team to Manufacture Custom Oligonucleotides for use in the biotech industry by following established protocols and SOP’s. The team uses semi-automated and automated basic lab equipment. Regularly evaluate non-routine test results and either fail the product or allow it to continue through the production cycle.
