About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree or higher in Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, or a related engineering discipline.
  • At least four years of post-university industry experience in technical applications, field applications, field service, field deployment, or life science instrumentation.
  • Recent hands-on experience supporting flow cytometers, ideally in a customer-facing or field-facing role.
  • A strong fundamental understanding of flow cytometry, including instrument setup, fluidics, optics, lasers, detectors, calibration, quality control, controls, compensation, gating, data acquisition, troubleshooting, and assay variability.
  • Experience working with commercial flow cytometry platforms from companies such as Bio-Rad, Cytek, BD, Beckman Coulter, Sony Biotechnology, Thermo Fisher, or similar life science instrumentation companies.
  • Ability to support technical users and non-expert operators through training, documentation, and hands-on troubleshooting.
  • Experience supporting customer installations, assay transfers, product deployments, instrument qualification, or on-site technical implementations.
  • Experience working in a fast-paced startup or scaling technical operations environment.
  • Ability to create clear standard operating procedures, technical guides, training materials, and support documentation.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with Operations, R&D, Product, Quality, Commercial, and customer-facing teams.

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate cytometer-related sources of variability and help implement improvements that reduce failure modes in internal and customer workflows.
  • Work with internal teams and external vendors to resolve recurring instrument or workflow issues.
  • Help establish platform-level knowledge of cytometer fluidics, optics, lasers, detectors, compensation, gating, controls, bead-based assays, and quality-control metrics.
  • Contribute to continuous-improvement projects that make cytometry workflows more robust, transferable, and easier to operate.
  • Support the selection, qualification, and operationalization of cytometry platforms and accessories as the company scales.
  • Serve as the internal expert for commercial flow cytometers used in internal operations, assay development, quality control, and deployment workflows.
  • Support cytometer setup, daily operation, calibration, quality control, maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance monitoring.
  • Maintain and repair the cytometer fleet, including replacing parts, servicing fluidics, aligning optics, and performing deeper hardware work to improve platform performance and robustness.
  • Help internal teams understand how cytometer performance affects assay quality, data quality, reproducibility, and operational reliability.
  • Diagnose issues involving instruments, reagents, samples, acquisition settings, cytometry templates, controls, user technique, and downstream data quality.
  • Develop and maintain cytometer-use best practices, including standard operating procedures, training materials, maintenance schedules, quality-control checklists, troubleshooting guides, and vendor-escalation playbooks.
  • Work with Operations and Development teams to improve cytometer uptime, assay robustness, workflow consistency, and operator training.
  • Support deployment customers running Nomic kits on-site with their own commercial cytometers.
  • Assess customer cytometer readiness, including instrument configuration, maintenance status, quality-control procedures, acquisition settings, and workflow compatibility.
  • Support customer onboarding, training, protocol transfer, cytometer setup, and troubleshooting for successful kit execution.
  • Provide remote and, when needed, on-site technical support throughout customer deployments.
  • Partner with customer-facing Commercial, Product, Customer Support, and R&D teams to translate field learnings into improved documentation, training, protocols, and product requirements.
  • Build scalable support processes that enable Nomic kits to run reliably across different customer cytometer environments.
  • Travel frequently (more than 50%) to support internal sites in Montreal and Boston and visit customer sites as needed.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience supporting flow cytometers in a customer-facing or field-facing role is ideally preferred.

About the Company

Nomic

high-throughput proteomics platform employing nELISA

Nplex Biosciences develops proteomics tools using nanotechnology, with the nELISA platform that miniaturizes and parallelizes the sandwich ELISA to measure many proteins at once. The platform uses DNA nanotechnology to decode protein identities on micron-sized beads, enabling cost-efficient, high-throughput protein profiling. It differentiates itself by combining DNA-based protein identification with bead-based assays and a scalable workflow that lowers costs compared to traditional antibody-based proteomics. The goal is to provide a reliable, scalable proteomics platform that supports drug discovery, biomarker discovery, and personalized medicine.
