About the Role

Seeking a scientist with expertise in Electro-chemistry and Surface Chemistry to engineer DNA-on-a-chip synthesis through mastering the electrochemical environment for massively parallel and high-fidelity DNA synthesis.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement high-throughput experiments to characterize electrochemical reactions at the micro-electrode interface.
• Develop novel electrochemical methodologies to manage molecular processes within confined, high-density electrode arrays.
• Perform hands-on development and testing of surface passivation strategies to combat protein fouling and non-specific binding.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including protein biochemists, microfluidics, and CMOS specialists, to optimize conditions for enzyme-driven DNA synthesis.
• Document technical breakthroughs through rigorous reporting and present findings to R&D leadership.
• Act as both a strong individual contributor and a collaborative team member.

Requirements

• Ph.D. or M.S. in Electrochemistry, Material Science, Chemical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Minimum 2 years (Ph.D.) or 4 years (M.S.) of post-graduate experience in an industry R&D setting or applied research environment.
• Proven track record of heavy, hands-on bench contribution.
• Expertise in electrochemistry and electrochemical techniques for biodetectors, biosensors, and bioelectronic interfaces.
• Practical experience managing electrochemical behavior in restricted volumes or micro-fabricated systems.
• Experience in semiconductor electrochemistry or building electrochemical apparatus for synthesis, processing, or analysis is preferred.
• Experience with standard analytical techniques, fluorescence-based assays, and surface characterization techniques.
• Foundational wet-lab comfort with DNA biochemistry, enzymatic reactions, or fluorescence-based detection methods.
• Experience collaborating with engineering teams to translate scientific findings into applications.
• Ability to communicate scientific concepts to engineers and biochemists to achieve shared product goals.
