100% onsite South San Francisco
Manager strongly prefers someone local to the South San Francisco site, ideally within a 30-45 minute commute, due to the need for consistent onsite attendance and morning reliability.




Duration: 12months, with potential to extend depending on business need




Preferred schedule is 8:30 AM-5:30 PM, with a strong need for punctuality. The team needs instruments ready by approximately 10:00 AM, so the worker must be onsite and reliable in the morning.




The ideal candidate will have hands-on flow cytometry experience, with strong preference for experience supporting cell sorting, cytometer startup/shutdown, instrument monitoring, routine maintenance, and troubleshooting. This person should be comfortable working in a shared-resource or service-based lab environment where they are supporting scientists directly, resolving instrument issues, and helping users complete experiments successfully.

Job Details: Responsible for operating and maintaining flow cytometry analyzers and cell sorters, including instrument setup, quality control, monitoring runs, and routine maintenance. Designs and optimizes multiparameter panels for conventional and full-spectrum cytometry. Provides user training and support in a high-throughput shared lab environment while ensuring compliance with BSL-2+ safety standards.




Key Responsibilities




The worker will support flow cytometry operations, including:
• Cell sorting support
• Starting up and shutting down cytometers
• Monitoring cell sorts during operation
• Instrument cleaning and routine maintenance
• Monthly maintenance involving fluidics/PBS/saline systems
• Supporting analyzer-only cytometers
• Troubleshooting clogs or instrument issues
• Helping users complete experiments successfully
• Proactively checking in with scientists and lab users




The role includes manual/physical work, including handling cytometer waste up to approximately 25 pounds.




Required / Strongly Preferred Skills
• Flow cytometry experience
• Cell sorting experience
• Experience with analyzers and sorters
• Familiarity with conventional and spectral cytometry
• Basic troubleshooting of cytometer issues
• Comfort supporting users in a shared-resource or service-based lab
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to work with scientists under time-sensitive situations
• Proactive, service-oriented mindset
