Job description

Sr Scientist, Multiomics Product Development

Proteintech Genomics is a fast-growing life science technology company at the forefront of spatial and single cell multiomics. As a subsidiary of Proteintech Group, with access to a portfolio of over 15,000 antibodies cited in 100,000+ publications, we are building the next generation of highly multiplexed, antibody-based assays for cutting-edge biological discovery.

We are seeking a highly motivated scientist to play a key role in all stages of product development. In this position, you will move seamlessly from defining product requirements to designing and executing experiments, through data analysis and optimization, and ultimately to supporting commercialization alongside marketing and manufacturing teams. This role is ideal for someone who wants to be both hands-on in the lab and actively engaged in the broader product lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Concept & Requirements
• Contribute to defining product requirements by integrating scientific insights with customer needs and market trends.
• Evaluate feasibility of new assay concepts for spatial and single-cell multiomics.
• Design & Development
• Design experiments to establish assay formulations, antibody panels, and workflows.
• Optimize assays through antibody titration, validation, and troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with bioinformatics team on experimental design and data-driven decision-making.
• Testing & Validation
• Develop and execute rigorous test methods to ensure reproducibility and robustness.
• Perform quantitative data analysis using R and Python, interpreting results in collaboration with computational scientists.
• Translate laboratory findings into finalized products, including preparation of customer-facing protocols, application notes, and marketing materials.
• Work with marketing to ensure scientific accuracy and clarity of messaging.
• Partner with manufacturing to transfer robust workflows into production.
• Provide technical support to customers and internal teams, ensuring successful adoption of new products.

Who You Are

• Data driven, high-energy, keen-to-detail, quality-focused team player looking for a fast-paced and innovation-focused work environment.
• An energetic scientist who combines hands-on lab work with a strong focus on product development strategy.
• Experienced with antibody-based technologies, assay optimization, and multiomic applications.
• Able to think across the full PDP—from concept to customer delivery—while remaining deeply engaged at the bench.
• A clear communicator, capable of writing clear and deployable protocols, presenting data, and supporting cross-functional collaboration.
• Commitment to technical rigor through application of the scientific method.

Required Qualifications

Education

• PhD with 2-5 years of relevant industry or academic experience OR
• MS with 5+ years of relevant industry or academic experience
• Research expertise in Neurobiology, Immunology, Cancer Biology, or Stem Cell biology are desirable

Experience

• Experience working with human and mouse tissues, including fresh frozen and FFPE samples.
• Proficiency in histological and molecular methods such as IHC, ICC, IF, ISH, smFISH.
• Hands-on experience with multiplex spatial platforms, such as Akoya (CODEX/Phenoptics), IBEX, Xenium, Visium, GeoMx DSP, MERFISH, seqFISH, or related technologies.
• Ability to design, optimize, and troubleshoot spatial workflows.
• Expertise in panel design, execution, and analysis for methods such as Flow Cytometry, CyTOF, CITE-seq, and single-cell RNA-seq.
• Strong understanding of antibody conjugates and assay design for single-cell platforms.
• Proficiency with using R and/or Python for processing and interpreting single-cell and spatial data.
• Experience collaborating with bioinformatics teams to analyze complex multiomic datasets.

Preferred Qualifications

• Track record of creating or launching commercial products for spatial or single-cell applications.
• Background in developing assays for high-throughput platforms.
