Veranome Biosystems LLC, an Applied Materials company, provides the spatial analysis market with a reliable, easy-to-use, end-to-end multi-omics solution. We enable researchers to deepen their understanding of diseases with high-quality data of how individual cells organize within tissue, using robust workflows, reliable imaging systems and without the need for extensive bioinformatics tools or infrastructure. Veranome’s unique combination of genomics expertise and world-class high-speed diffraction limited optical imaging capabilities enables researchers to access in-situ spatial omics and elucidate reliable disease insights with unsurpassed data quality.

Job Summary: While most industries slowed down in response to the global pandemic in 2020, the field of spatial omics only accelerated.  This is an exciting time in this field and we’re looking for a customer-oriented engineer who will bring their unique perspective and experience to this role.  In this challenging and rewarding career opportunity, you will be working at customer sites to install and start-up sophisticated bio-imaging instruments and to manage the overall instrument qualification process.

Who you are:  You are detailed and process oriented paired with an extensive knowledge of optical inspection or imaging hardware and software.  You love to be involved in the implementation of new technology and expect to drive and deliver the very best results.  You’re a person with strong interpersonal and communication skills and you enjoy nothing more than solving issues and being the “go to” person at the customer site.  You find personal satisfaction in having a clear sense of purpose, opportunities to learn, and a sense of belonging to the larger team.

Who you will work with: Veranome Bio is a fast-paced, purpose driven company that is at the forefront of building a new product category in the genomics space.   You’ll work with an amazing team of experts as we develop cutting-edge products that unlock the potential of high-plex, subcellular resolution spatial omics.

The value you bring + the value you deliver: Your work will be critical in bringing advanced high-content imaging and image analysis from semiconductor optical inspection to high-plex, subcellular resolution spatial omics.  You will bring “on the ground” leadership our company needs to deliver the highest quality products and to guide customers through the installation and qualification phases of deployment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Start-up and maintain system performance according to existing maintenance procedures;
