## About the Role

You are a multidisciplinary scientist or engineer with a postgraduate qualification in Molecular Sciences, Physics or a related discipline, and you bring extensive hands-on experience working with DNA/RNA sequencing technologies. You have a proven track record of troubleshooting complex systems at the system level, particularly within prototype or early-stage development environments where multiple technologies intersect.

You are equally comfortable working with instrumentation, experimental design and data analysis, and you enjoy uncovering root causes through structured investigation and problem solving. Experience working in Linux environments for system operation and diagnosis is essential, alongside strong analytical thinking, meticulous attention to detail and excellent communication skills.

You thrive in collaborative environments and embrace Illumina's Win Together culture by partnering effectively across engineering, scientific, manufacturing and quality teams. Exposure to next-generation sequencing technologies, sample preparation methods, nano-scale technologies, scripting or coding languages such as Python, MATLAB or VB, and experience within regulated environments such as ISO 13485, ISO 9001 or GxP would be advantageous.
