APPLICATION SCIENTIST JOB DESCRIPTION

An Application Scientist translates complex scientific platforms into outcomes customers can reproduce. In life sciences and diagnostics, where GLP compliance and ISO 13485 quality frameworks govern everything a laboratory touches, that translation carries regulatory weight - a misapplied protocol or an untrained operator can invalidate months of data. This role owns the technical relationship with researchers, clinical molecular technologists, and biotech development teams, ensuring that instruments, assays, and workflows perform as intended once they leave the development environment. Deep bench experience and the ability to communicate across scientific and commercial audiences are both non-negotiable.

As the Application Scientist, you convert scientific expertise into customer success by providing pre- and post-sales technical support, application training, and troubleshooting for life science and diagnostic product lines. You work within a cross-functional team spanning R&D, product management, and commercial sales, serving as the primary scientific resource for accounts ranging from academic research labs to regulated GMP production environments.

Career Impact: Owning the technical customer relationship for platforms operating under ISO 13485 and GMP builds a scientific credibility that moves you toward senior applications leadership or product management roles in diagnostics.

Business Impact: When customers succeed in validating an assay or deploying a new NGS workflow, renewal rates and account expansion follow directly from the support you provided.

Growth Opportunity: Exposure to assay development, regulatory documentation, and voice-of-customer processes positions you for advancement into Principal Scientist, Applications Manager, or Field Applications Director roles within a few years.

• Collect and relay customer feedback on product performance and unmet needs to R&D and product management teams to inform development roadmaps.
• Maintain accurate records of equipment calibrations, assay validations, and customer interactions in accordance with GMP and ISO 13485 documentation requirements.
• Contribute to technical publications including application notes, white papers, user manuals, and peer-reviewed articles that support commercial and scientific credibility.
• Partner with marketing and sales teams to support product launches, conference presentations, and voice-of-customer initiatives.

• Bachelor's degree in Life Sciences, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, or equivalent work experience.
• 3 or more years of hands-on laboratory experience in life science or diagnostics, with demonstrated proficiency in at least one of: flow cytometry, NGS workflows, or cell-based assay development.
• Practical knowledge of GLP requirements, ISO 13485 quality frameworks, or GMP operating environments and their documentation expectations.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex biological, hardware, or software failures and communicate solutions clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience preparing and delivering technical presentations, training sessions, or application demonstrations to scientific customers.
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to author technical reports, SOPs, or application-focused content.

• Master's or PhD degree in a life science discipline, with research experience in flow cytometry, NGS, in-vitro diagnostics, or cell biology.
• Experience working with regulated GMP customers or within a clinical or diagnostics laboratory setting, including familiarity with DMAIC or RCA methodologies.
• Prior customer-facing application support or field application experience, with familiarity using a CRM system for case tracking and account management.
• Exposure to assay translation from research to development or production environments, including experience with laboratory automation or liquid handling platforms.

• Customer complaint resolution rate, measured as percentage of cases closed within defined SLA windows.
• First-contact resolution percentage, tracking how often technical inquiries are resolved without escalation.
• Training completion scores from customers following product onboarding or application training events.
• Number of validated application notes or white papers authored per quarter, reflecting technical publication output.
• Account retention rate within the managed customer portfolio, indicating sustained customer adoption post-support.
• Typical tools: flow cytometry platforms (commonly cell sorters and analyzers); laboratory information management systems (commonly LIMS and CRM databases).

• Base Salary Range: $75,000 to $115,000 annually, depending on seniority and location
