Job content

We are shooting for the moon and work on a novel breath test to detect respiratory infections. We cannot do our pioneering work without highly qualified talents like you. We seek a PCR crack who loves to think outside the box and feels inspired to work with an inspiring bunch of startuppers including Tobi aka “goes-to-the-lab-at-midnight-to-test-an-idea”, Patricia aka “makes-Tobi’s-midnight-ideas-work-during-daylight” and Melanie aka” goes-for-a-run-to-develop-a-winning-strategy”.

In 1947 the modern blood tube was invented. We work on a similar success story with our breath collector to better diagnose patients, provide targeted treatment and ultimately save lives. Please get in touch with us if you are our molecular assay superstar!

Your Responsibilities

As a “bring-it-on-person” you will lead the development and validation of molecular assays in combination with the Avelo breath collection device. This involves hands-on laboratory work as well as creative experimental approaches. You will be tasked to:

  • Own and lead all aspects of molecular assay development with a focus on multiplex, real-time PCR and isothermal amplification
  • Perform verification and validation of the Avelo breath collector in combination with molecular IVD assays using contrived and clinical samples.
  • Support the development, improvement, and evaluation of our breath collection IVD device
  • Optimize DNA/RNA lysis and extraction
  • Execute assay and reagent troubleshooting, optimization, and validation experiments
  • Be Avelo’s go-to person if it comes to molecular assays and IVD’s, share your knowledge and train other team members in the lab.
  • Manage R&D projects including with external partners and ensure project deliverables and timelines are met
  • Develop, update, and implement SOPs
  • Ability to multitask and switch projects as priorities change
  • Manage, analyze, and communicate results to your team and stakeholders within the organization
  • Help building our quality management system
  • Assume different roles and grow into new technical areas and/or leadership role as needed

Your Profile

As a “I-can-do-it-all-person” you offer the full package including:

  • PhD, MSc or BSc in Molecular Biology, Life Sciences, or related degree
  • In-depth knowledge of PCR, multiplex PCR, real-time PCR, DNA and RNA isolation, assay design and optimization
  • 3+ years of relevant experience developing molecular assays (PCR and or other NAATs)
  • 2+ years of relevant experience within-vitro diagnostic products development within ISO13485 environment
  • Experience with the development and manufacturing of clinical sampling or lab consumables or test cartridges is a strong plus
  • Experience with CLSI guidelines and IVD verification and validation is a strong plus
  • IVD project management experience is a strong plus
  • Experience with respiratory infectious disease diagnostics is a strong plus
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively across multiple disciplines such as biology, engineering, and manufacturing is desirable
  • Highly proactive and self-directed with strong scientific integrity and willingness to always question results, including your own
  • Hands-on team player with strong “can do”, analysis and problem-solving skills who likes to tackle challenges, improve own skills, and help shape Avelo’s future
  • Proficient written and oral communication skills in English, fluency in German is a plus
  • Applicants must be either Swiss citizens, EU nationals or have the legal right to live and work in Switzerland
