About the role

Senior Scientist, Manufacturing Development to lead and scale robust manufacturing processes for the nELISA platform, blending scientific/engineering expertise with hands-on bench work and cross-functional collaboration at the Montréal QC facility.

Responsibilities

  • Drive complex manufacturing‑development initiatives and help define the technical roadmap — covering process robustness, assay performance, automation readiness, kit manufacturing, QC architecture, scalability, and transfer readiness.
  • Convert ambiguous manufacturing or assay requirements into structured experimental and validation plans, and design/run campaigns using DoE, process characterization, robustness testing, FMEA and scale‑up/down approaches.
  • Design and develop robust QC strategies (in‑process controls, lot‑to‑lot consistency, trend analysis and pass/fail decision frameworks) and lead cross‑functional root‑cause investigations.
  • Deliver stellar communication and collaboration across R&D, Operations, Automation, Quality teams; maintain meticulous documentation and share data‑driven reports, insights and memos to align stakeholders and ensure development outputs are both scientifically sound and operationally ready for transfer.
  • Independently analyze and interpret complex datasets by combining assay performance, process parameters, QC trends and operational metrics, and translate into actionable technical recommendations and continuous‑improvement initiatives that enhance reproducibility, stability, throughput and compliance.
  • Mentor scientists and associates, providing technical guidance on experimental design, troubleshooting, data interpretation, automation‑aware process development, QC thinking and kit‑manufacturing best practices.

Qualifications

  • PhD or Master’s in bioengineering, biotechnology, biochemistry or a related field with at least five years of industry experience working in wet‑lab environments.
  • Deep expertise in protein quantification and immunoassay methods (ELISA, sandwich assays, flow cytometry, bead‑based assays), kit development, QC under GMP/GLP standards, and genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics technologies.
  • Proven ability to design, lead and scale complex experiments and process development projects (e.g. assay optimization, process characterization, robustness and validation studies), including tech transfer and compliance to regulated environments.
  • Hands‑on experience with automation‑enabled workflows and instrumentation (liquid handlers, plate readers, washers, dispensers, imaging systems), with strong data analysis (Python or equivalent).
  • Demonstrated leadership in mentoring and developing junior scientists, and comfort operating in fast‑paced, evolving environments where scientific ambiguity, operational constraints and scaling needs must be balanced.
  • Strong English communication skills for collaborating with U.S.-based teams, partners and vendors.

About Nomic Bio

Nomic is doing for proteins what Illumina has done for DNA

Nomic is doing for protein profiling, what Illumina did for DNA sequencing. Our core technology, the nELISA, is a next-gen immunoassay platform that transforms the ELISA into a high-throughput, high-content, and high-versatility tool. Today we developed the nELISA for high-throughput drug discovery scientists, enabling them profile 100s of proteins at 10x higher throughput and 10x lower cost compared to existing solutions. We're offering the nELISA through early access programs to HTS groups in top pharmas as well as pioneering biotechs in the space. Our goal is to create a ubiquitous technology that consolidates the broad range of legacy immunoassay toolkits that scientists use today with a single platform that can carry the science end-to-end, from discovery all the way to the clinic. We're a team of engineers, biologists, and highly-skilled lab operators that are looking to grow quickly to keep up with customer demand but also to continue developing our core technology, scale our multiplexing/throughput, and build our software stack. We're hiring on a number of positions including engineering, software, biology, and ops. Come talk to us!
