Senior Scientist

Job Title

Senior Scientist / Assistant Manager – Assay & Diagnostics Development (Molecular & Imaging)

Location / Type

Hyderabad, India | Full-time

About the Role

Omicsveu is building next-generation diagnostics, and we're looking for a hands-on scientist who can take assays from idea to validated prototype. This is a high-ownership role for someone strong in molecular biology + immunology, with deep capability in chromogenic and fluorophore-based image analysis (IHC/ISH, IF/multiplex). You'll design experiments, execute quickly, troubleshoot signal issues, and document work to support scale-up.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead assay development projects end-to-end: concept feasibility prototype validation

• Define and execute performance studies: sensitivity/specificity, LoD/LoQ, stability, reproducibility
  

• Optimize and standardize workflows across:

  • PCR/qPCR
    

  • Immunoassays
    

  • Sample preparation
    

  • Readouts and analysis pipelines
    

• Troubleshoot and improve imaging quality for:

  • Chromogenic (IHC/ISH): background reduction, artifacts, staining consistency

  • Fluorescence (IF/multiplex): bleed-through, background, illumination artifacts, segmentation issues

• Partner with cross-functional teams (R&D, operations, product) to move assays toward scale

• Maintain rigorous documentation: protocols, experiment records, validation reports, and tech transfer readiness

Requirements

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Molecular Biology, Immunology, or a related field, with postdoc and/or industry experience (diagnostics experience strongly preferred)

• Demonstrated success in assay/diagnostic development and validation

• Strong command of molecular biology and immunology tools, with statistics-driven interpretation
  

• Excellent cross-functional communication and a disciplined documentation mindset

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with ownership and accountability

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Experience with multiplexing, quantitative imaging, and/or high-content analysis

• Familiarity with DoE (Design of Experiments) for assay optimization

• Experience with scale-up and transfer from R&D to implementation

• Comfort using AI tools for literature mining, experiment planning, and image analysis workflows

Benefits

• 5 day work week
  
• Free Transport Facility
  
• Free Insurance Coverage to family
  
• PTO & Time Off
  
• Flat Organization Structure
