ABOUT US:
Volta Labs is building a suite of genomics applications for our first-of-its-kind digital fluidics sample prep automation platform. Our technology will remove the need for laborious sample setup, provide a technology-agnostic suite, and shorten sample processing time from hours to seconds. We believe our tech is the next step in unlocking the hospital of the future and will accelerate medical research by decades.
THE TEAM:
You'll join a team of innovative thinkers who love to experiment, collaborate, and win together. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of automation, biology, computing, robotics, design, and user experience to benefit our customers and the world.
The Genomics Applications (Assay) Development Lead will report into the Head of Applications Development, taking on management of a current team of 5 that has plans to grow this year. You’ll own the planning and execution of the End To End product development lifecycle (early research and experimentation, feasibility, design and development, verification and validation) across different applications currently identified in our product portfolio.
This is a critical role that combines elements of hands-on building in the now while planning for the future; perfect for someone who loves both managing a team and optimizing systems to be faster and smarter over time.
