Position: Manager – Research & Development (Molecular Diagnostics)
Department: R&D – Molecular Diagnostics
Location: Faridabad
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Compensation: Up to ₹15 LPA (Commensurate with experience
Job Purpose
The Manager – R&D (Molecular Diagnostics) will drive the design, development, and commercialization of advanced molecular diagnostic workflows. This position leads hands-on assay development projects, focusing primarily on Real-Time PCR (qPCR) systems and nucleic acid isolation methodologies. The manager ensures all R&D outputs meet regulatory validation criteria and seamlessly transfer to high-volume manufacturing.
Key Responsibilities
1. Assay Design & Development
Design and optimize robust Real-Time PCR (qPCR) assays for infectious diseases, genetic profiling, or oncology markers.
Perform primer and probe designing using bioinformatics platforms while ensuring target specificity.
Develop and improve chemical master mixes and manual or automated nucleic acid purification processes.
2. Validation & Regulatory Compliance
Create and validate analytical and clinical performance protocols according to international and domestic regulatory frameworks.
Author detailed product dossiers, technical validation metrics, Design History Files (DHF), and compliance documentation.
Formulate clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and manufacturing guidelines for newly developed test kits.
3. Application & Technical Support
Provide second-level application support to resolve complex diagnostic anomalies escalated by field specialists.
Troubleshoot complex assay variations regarding extraction efficiency, analytical sensitivity, or instrument integration errors.
Train cross-functional teams and corporate stakeholders on final assay parameters and operating protocols.
Requirements & Qualifications
Educational Background
Postgraduate (Minimum): M.Sc. / M.S. in Molecular Biology, Molecular Diagnostics, or a tightly integrated life sciences field.
Doctorate (Preferred): Ph.D. in Immunology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Genetics, Pathology, or a related discipline.
Experience Parameters
Mandatory Background: Extensive hands-on industry experience in diagnostic assay development from initial design through validation phase.
Technical Depth: Demonstrated skill in extraction chemistry, multiplex primer/probe parameters, and operating RT-PCR instruments.
Regulatory Exposure: Clear familiarity with cleanroom protocols, quality frameworks (ISO 13485), and IVD manufacturing dynamics.
