ABOUT SINGULAR GENOMICS
Singular Genomics is inventing at the forefront of genomics, one of the world’s fastest-growing industries. The commercially available G4® Sequencing Platform is a powerful, highly versatile benchtop genomic sequencer designed to produce fast and accurate results. In addition, the company is currently developing the G4X™ Spatial Sequencer, an upgrade to the G4, which will leverage Singular’s proprietary sequencing technology, applying it as an in situ readout for transcriptomics, proteomics and fluorescent H&E in tissue, with spatial context.
Singular Genomics’ mission is to empower researchers and clinicians to advance science and medicine.We foster a culture of creativity and technical excellence, both catalysts for innovation. We celebrate diversity, emphasize collaboration and, as we rapidly mature, we are constantly looking at ways we can do better for our people.Our Headquarters are located on the Torrey Pines Mesa, in La Jolla, California at the center of the biotech hub. Our Manufacturing facility is in Sorrento Valley.

- Ability to diagnose and troubleshoot common and uncommon system level electrical issues: noise, stray capacitance, ground loops, impedance mismatch, etc.
- Experience with optical, capacitive, inductive sensor technologies.
- Experience with analog and digital signal conditioning, filtering, and processing.
- Experience with AC/DC circuits, low power, low voltage power management and distribution, DC/DC regulation, board and system level noise management and mitigation.
- Experience with schematic design and capture, PCB electrical design, simulation, layout, fabrication diagnostics and troubleshooting.
- Competence with common electrical laboratory instrumentation and data acquisition systems (DVMs, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power meters, etc.).
- Experience with high precision motion control systems, sensors, encoders, closed loop servo systems, open and closed loop stepper motor systems, closed loop thermal control systems.
- Understanding of H-bridge amplifier design and integration for stepper motor applications.
- Developing, implementing, and debugging communications between devices (RS-232/485, CANbus, USB, I2C, SPI, and Ethernet etc.).
- Experience with Altium or other comparable EDA tools. Ability to use tools from schematic and PCB design through fabrication.
- This position requires soft skills to be part of a cross functional team, with excellent written & oral communication and presentation skills.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced and dynamic team environment.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience developing high-precision scientific instrumentation.
- Experience with electrical design for biomedical instrumentation, fluidics, and optics.
- Familiarity with Microcontroller architectures and ability to write requirement specifications.
