Description
Prolific Machines is ushering in a new era of biotechnology with light. Our first-of-its-kind optogenetic platform delivers unprecedented control, precisely guiding cellular behavior when and where it matters most. Unlike existing tools used to control biology, our technology enables dynamic, tunable control over virtually any cellular function in any cell type. We're enabling partners to unlock robust efficiency, quality, and reproducibility advantages across the most complex pharmaceuticals and therapeutic proteins. Prolific is supported by leading investors, including Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Mayfield and SOSV.
We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager with experience managing innovative scientific projects to manage critical customer & internal programs in Prolific’s pipeline. These projects can include, but are not limited to:
- R&D efforts focused on building new capabilities and platforms.
- Full cell line development and scale up of customer molecules integrated into our optogenetic cell lines.
- Enabling pharmaceutical partners to build optogenetic capabilities at their sites.
As part of a broad technical organization tasked with commercializing Prolific Machine’s unique technology, the successful candidate will lead technical planning, coordination, and results reporting for these projects. They will work with technical leads from R&D, Technical Operations, Hardware, Product, and Business Development to support cross-team collaboration and communication, as well as coordinate with senior leadership for reporting project outcomes. This position will report into the Head of the Project Management Office. This role will be based on-site in Emeryville, CA.
