Development Engineer - Raw Materials
Who we are
Olink Proteomics is a rapidly growing life science company committed to advancing the understanding of human diseases through proteomics. We are dedicated to innovation, quality, rigor, and transparency, providing outstanding solutions and support for human protein biomarker discovery.
The vital role of proteins in understanding human biology has been recognized for many decades, but technological limitations severely restricted the comprehensive investigation of the huge number of proteins that could be important in different biological processes and diseases. With Olink, scientists can now simultaneously measure thousands of human proteins using just a few µL of blood sample, with highly specific, thoroughly validated assays that cover a very wide dynamic range (fg/mL to µg/mL).
In a few years, Olink has grown rapidly from a small, Sweden-based company offering assays for a few hundred proteins, to a NASDAQ-listed organization with a strong global presence, a broad portfolio of flexible protein biomarker solutions and library of high quality, thoroughly validated assays that covers ~5000 proteins.

The Analytical Development group within RnD is responsible for developing new QC-methods and improving existing methods for functional testing of kit, components, and critical raw material. The work is often carried out in project form, where several projects are run in parallel. The team may also be involved in investigations and deviations.
Primary Responsibilities
- Participate in projects within the area of raw material characterization, set up and apply novel analytical methods, and techniques for analysis of proteins, ingoing raw materials, and components.
- Stay updated on the latest advancements in the field and incorporate best practices into analytical development processes.
- Design laboratory experiments to identify critical parameters and specifications.
- Analysis of data sets, interpret data and draw conclusions.
- Documenting results in technical reports and presenting results at meetings.
- Participate in investigations and deviations as necessary
Qualifications/Skills
- Civil Engineering degree or PhD from the life science field.
- 3+ years of experience of method development.
- Broad technical expertise of protein analysis, molecular biology techniques, biochemistry techniques, analytical, and enzymatic methods or similar.
- Experience in MS, qPCR, antibody-based protein detection methods etc is advantageous.
- Experience in raw material characterization
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Strong team player with excellent communication skills, preferably in both Swedish and English.
- Ability to handle multiple projects, prioritize and meet deadlines.
We believe that you are inclusive, driven and creative, with a talent for developing smart but simple solutions for complex and challenging raw materials and reagents.
