    Why us

    Our team specializes in developing a fast and accurate FPGA-accelerated platform called DRAGEN, for the secondary analysis of NGS genomic data, together with integration in the ICA Cloud platform for scalability and data interpretation. The platform covers a wide range of pipelines including WGS and targeted (enriched/amplicon) germline, WGS and targeted somatic (T/N and tumor-only), DNA/RNA, small variants, CNV, and structural variants.

    Why you

    As a Staff Bioinformatics Scientist, you will be responsible for developing novel methods to extract biological meaning from genomic samples.

    You will be responsible for designing and implementing solutions in the form of model design and software as well as collaborating with others to do so in a team-focused workflow. You will be responsible for helping to define and drive the success of the complete product, including defining requirements, assessing accuracy, streamlining customer experience, and enabling end-user applications.

    Key Responsibilities:

    • Design, prototype and implement innovative computational and/or statistical algorithms to extract meaningful biological signal from sequencing assays.
    • Implement algorithms in production-grade C/C++ software. Collaborate deeply with inter-disciplinary teams (QC/QA test teams, FPGA teams, SW teams, clinical genomics teams) as the platform has many different end-users with different requirements and applications to ensure a smooth, end-to-end workflow with external organizations.
    • Analyze, integrate, model and interpret experimental data.
    • Engage with external customers' scientific teams to build product credibility and define emerging requirements.
    • Clearly communicate technical methods and findings across internal teams with diverse expertise. Prepare internal and external facing technical documentation and marketing assets related to project research.

    Listed responsibilities are an essential, but not exhaustive list, of the usual duties associated with the position. Changes to individual responsibilities may occur due to business needs.

    Key experience and skills requirements

    You will have a strong background in computer science, algorithms, statistics, and/or digital signal processing in addition to expertise in genomics, next generation sequencing, and a broad ecosystem of related assays and biotechnologies.

    Our ideal candidate will have a track record of both innovative and pragmatic bioinformatics methods development and delivery, be a proven team player with leadership skills and experience and have the following:

    • Expertise in genomics and experience with analyzing error modes and actionable signal in genomic data sets
    • Expertise in algorithms for NGS secondary analysis: Mapping-Alignment and Variant Calling
    • Expertise in high-performance software development using C++/C or similar languages
    • Expertise in next generation sequencing assays and related biotechnology ecosystems.
    • Expertise in common sequencing applications such as research in rare disease, cancer and population genetics.

    Experience/Education

    • Masters/Ph.D. in computer science, engineering, statistics, bioinformatics, or related field of study. Typically requires a minimum of 6 years of related experience with a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3+ years of experience.

    What can you expect:

    Our team members are bright, energetic and dedicated - they are the driving force behind our innovation and impact. To attract the best and brightest, we offer a competitive employee benefits program. We view it as a smart investment in our people, one that recognizes the tremendous value they bring to our business every day. At Illumina, we push boundaries. We think beyond the conventional.
