Description

10x is looking for an outstanding intern to join the Chemical Engineering team in the Chemistry & Development Organization. The candidate will work with a senior member of the ChemE team to develop, optimize, and commercialize new chemistries and analytical methods required to produce 10x reagents and consumables. The position requires a technical understanding of chemical engineering or chemistry at a bachelor's level. Previous experience as an intern in a similar field is a plus. Individuals applying for this position must be self-starters, strategic thinkers, action driven, flexible in changing direction and methods, thrive in a fast-paced environment, excel at managing multiple priorities, succeed in communicating with all levels within the organization and provide immediate contribution. What you will be doing: Assist in the development, optimization, validation, and implementation of chemistry-based production processes from R&D into Manufacturing. Support the integration of these chemistries into various microarray or fluidic handling devices. Help in understanding the interplay between chemistry, microfluidics, production processes, and molecular biology to assist in identifying the root cause of product deviations, troubleshoot them, and identify solutions. Conduct experiments to understand reaction mechanisms and interactions, process variability, and failure modes. Leverage engineering principles to identify critical parameters/variables to optimize or control chemical systems and processes. Utilize statistical analysis to interpret data. Communicate and present results clearly and contribute data for making critical design decisions through accurate record of experimental details, laboratory documentation, and presentations or reports. To be successful, you will need: Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or a related field. Demonstrated laboratory skills and experience. Ability to integrate a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines. Ability to design meaningful experiments and in depth analysis of results. Strong collaboration and communication skills. Desire to be part of a rapidly evolving organization, with a compelling technology, and taking products and processes to the next level. Below is the base pay range for this position. The actual base pay will depend on several factors unique to each candidate, including one’s skills, qualifications, and experience.
