Test Engineer 3, HTS and Assay Dev
Job Description
Our mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo is constructing, editing, and redesigning the living world in order to answer the globe’s growing challenges in health, energy, food, materials, and more. Our bioengineers make use of an in-house automated foundry for designing and building new organisms.
A Core aspect of our organism engineering pipeline involves the testing and analysis of engineered cells and strains. To achieve this, we employ high-throughput screens, enabling us to evaluate thousands of strains simultaneously for functional activity. Our approach focuses on advancing discovery at scale by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge computational analysis with advanced workcells. This integration allows us to translate validated walk-up SOPs and workflows into optimized workcell methods, ensuring rigorous assay and screening performance. The ultimate goal is to transform biological research into a data-driven, highly efficient, and results-oriented process using automation and informatics platforms.

The Real Dill ☘️
Startups are private companies, but once they IPO they become "public"...meaning the average person has more access to their financials. In the case of Ginkgo Bioworks, it hasn't generated as much revenue as anticipated, but still has a ton of money in the bank to work on different projects (see the news article on ChatGPT for DNA). It'll be important to monitor its performance over the coming months and years to see how the company evolves considering its previous financial performances, but its definitely working on some really cool initiatives that have implications across healthcare, pharma, food, and more.
