Discovery Scientist

Are you a bold, entrepreneurial scientist ready to drive discoveries in molecular diagnostics?

If you thrive on rapid experimentation, creative problem-solving, and shaping the future of quality controls, we want you on our team!

The Discovery Scientist, reporting directly to the Manager of Discovery, will be responsible for creating and overseeing discovery projects that add to MMQCI’s significant bank of scientific knowledge with the goal of developing new products to improve the accuracy of clinical laboratory tests in molecular diagnostics.

This is not a typical R&D role—we’re looking for a skilled scientist with an entrepreneurial and inventive mindset, someone who can think big, move fast, embrace the unknown, and execute rapid proof-of-concept experiments.

What You Will Get to Do :

• Lead scientific discovery efforts to identify novel molecular biology approaches for quality control products in diagnostics.
• Design and execute rapid experiments to test ideas, learn quickly, and pivot as needed—fail fast, refine, and move forward.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and molecular diagnostic trends to uncover new opportunities.
• Identify new technologies, platforms, and product opportunities, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn ideas into reality.
• Collaborate across teams (R&D, Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Commercial) to bring innovative ideas from concept to reality.
• Engage with key opinion leaders and attend industry conferences to ensure our discoveries align with cutting-edge science.
• Contribute to a fast-moving, high-energy culture where creativity, risk-taking, and learning from failure are encouraged.
