Full job description
Slingshot Biosciences is a fast-growing life sciences company with a platform technology and paradigm-shifting mission to make precision-engineered cell mimics the gold standard for all cell-based assay controls. We are transforming cell-based applications with the most robust, scalable, and reproducible controls available, including TruCytes™ Biomarker controls, SpectraComp® compensation controls, ViaComp® cell health controls, and FlowCytes® instrument controls.
Our TruCytes cell mimics precisely replicate real cells’ optical and biochemical properties - without the sourcing, quality, or cost challenges of traditional controls. Trusted in cell-based applications across cell therapy, drug development, and diagnostics, they empower process and analytical development, quality control, potency assessments, multi-site validations, clinical research studies, and assay development and validation.
Slingshot is seeking motivated, creative team members who think outside the box. We empower employees to own their work, contribute ideas quickly, and improve processes. Come join our cross-disciplinary and world-class team that is delivering game-changing solutions for cell-based applications!
Slingshot Biosciences is seeking a Flow Cytometry specialist to help us build our next portfolio of products. You will be a key part of the product development process, providing expertise to R&D and Manufacturing. You will also generate publication-quality results for competitive marketing purposes and general publication/release, as well as examining root cause issues related to product complaints.
To be successful in this role, you'll need extensive knowledge of flow cytometry (antibody panel design and data analysis using relevant software) using a variety of instruments, biochemistry, and molecular biology. Proactive communication, diligent execution and documentation of complex workflows, and a highly collaborative mindset will be critical to success. We also place a premium on creativity, intellectual curiosity, flexibility, resiliency, drive, and a proactive, can-do attitude.
This is a full-time, on-site, 3-month contract position at Slingshot's headquarters in Emeryville, CA, reporting to the technical lead of our Flow Cytometry function. This role requires up to 25% travel.
Key Responsibilities
Test and validate new product designs on a range of flow cytometry platforms
Document, implement and transfer best practices and protocols for sample preparation, staining, and data acquisition to ensure accurate and reproducible results
QC products using flow cytometry, analyze flow cytometry data using software in the functional area such as FloJo, and extract meaningful data while ensuring data integrity and accuracy
Conduct regular maintenance and calibration of flow cytometry instruments to ensure optimal performance and data accuracy
Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues with flow cytometers and associated equipment
Ensure that product vision is maintained and realized through execution and documentation of design control processes, including verification & validation, stability studies, and design reviews
Generate competitive marketing material for new product introductions, product comparisons, and conferences, e.g. presentations and posters as needed
Investigate product complaint issues and perform root cause analysis independently or in conjunction with the QA team as needed
Exhibit active intellectual involvement in research projects including experimental design, execution, and reporting in support of our scientists and senior scientific leadership
Write technical reports of the test results with statistically derived conclusions
Develop SOPs to transition research into production and manufacturing
Provide feedback about new product concepts and needs in RUO and IVD arenas
Ensure compliance with laboratory health and safety guidelines; familiarity with ISO 9001 and GMP guidelines is desired
Other duties as assigned
Qualifications
Extensive background in flow cytometry across multiple different instrument platforms, particularly spectral flow cytometry
Advanced expertise in multiparameter (>10-color) flow cytometry analysis, compensation and gating strategies for analysis of mixed cell populations
Experience analyzing flow cytometry data in software such as FloJo
Strong understanding of stability principles, including shelf life determination and accelerated stability testing
Good knowledge of laboratory health and safety standards, including working with blood products such as Leukopaks
Excellent analytical and research skills
Attention to detail and excellent communication skills/systems in record keeping/documentation
Flexibility to work after hours or over weekends if needed
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to drive work independently
PhD in Cell Biology/Biochemistry/Biology or equivalent, Masters with 3+ years experience, or Bachelors with 6+ years experience
Our salary ranges are calculated by role and level. Your position within that range will be determined by your job-related knowledge, skills, experience, relevant education, and training/certifications. In addition to those factors, we also examine internal equity as well as consider current market rate, and title may be assessed one level lower or higher accordingly. After you join the company your performance, contributions, and results along with business and organizational needs will affect your base salary. The base salary range for this position is between $105,000 - $152,000.
