Analytical Scientist

Redmond, WA
Full Time
Entry Level
As an Analytical Scientist, the incumbent will be a core contributor to the development and characterization of antibody-based therapeutics. The scientist will design and implement analytical methods for early- to mid-stage development, with a focus on UPLC, CE, and binding assays. This is a hands-on lab role ideal for a PhD-level scientist who thrives in a dynamic, high throughput setting and is proficient in working cross-functionally.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and execute robust analytical methods using UPLC (SEC, IEX, RP), CE (CE-SDS, cIEF), and binding assays (ELISA, BLI) to support antibody characterization. Maintain good documentation for all studies.
  • Support cell line development, process development, formulation screening, comparability, and stability studies.
  • Analyze, interpret, and communicate data to project teams in a timely and scientifically rigorous manner.
  • Collaborate with upstream, downstream, and formulation scientists in an integrated CMC environment.
  • Author high-quality technical reports, method protocols, and contribute to regulatory documentation.
  • Evaluate new analytical technologies and help build internal capabilities as the company scales.
  • Contribute to establishing a phase-appropriate analytical control strategy for lead candidates.
  • Wear multiple hats, bring solutions, and help shape the analytical infrastructure as the company grows.
Qualifications
  • PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related discipline.
  • 0–3+ years of relevant industry experience (biotech/pharma) in biologics analytical development and demonstrate strong teamwork.
  • Strong technical background in HPLC/UPLC and CE techniques for therapeutic proteins.
  • Hands-on experience with antibody binding assays (e.g., ELISA, SPR or BLI).
  • Solid understanding of antibody structure, post-translational modifications, and critical quality attributes (CQAs).
  • Comfortable working in a dynamic environment with shifting priorities and evolving needs.
  • Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
Additionally, it’s desirable that the candidate has:
  • Experience in tech transfer, method qualification, or early GMP readiness.
  • Familiarity with software platforms like JMP, Empower, SoftMax Pro, or ForteBio Data Analysis.
  • Passion for working in a mission-driven environment and building from the ground up.
