About The Position

Ready to redefine what's possible in molecular diagnostics? Join a team of brilliant, passionate innovators who wake up every day determined to transform healthcare. At BillionToOne, we've built something extraordinary—a culture where transparency fuels trust, collaboration drives breakthroughs, and every voice matters in our mission to make life-changing diagnostics accessible to all. We don't just aim for incremental improvements; we strive to build products that are 10x better than anything that exists today. Our people are our greatest asset: talented scientists, engineers, sales professionals, and visionaries united by an unwavering commitment to changing the standard of care in prenatal and cancer diagnostics. This is where cutting-edge science meets human compassion—every innovation you contribute helps remove fear of unknown from some of life's most critical medical moments. If you're driven by purpose, energized by innovation, and ready to help build the future of precision medicine, this is where you belong. We are looking for a LIMS Associate to join our growing superstar Process Engineering team in support of clinical patient testing in our high throughput CLIA lab. The LIMS Administrator will be responsible for (1) Evolving the sophistication and usage of BTO’s LIMS tools to support rapid scaling of our clinical lab, (2) Identifying and implementing new Quality-oriented changes which enable greater usage, surveillance/monitoring, and control of laboratory data, (3) Managing a relationship with third party developers and our internal engineering team in system integration efforts, and (4) Identifying and assessing new LIMS systems which could offer greater benefits to BTO’s larger operations. This role will help to build upon the strong technology and execution found within BTO’s walls, and will help us pave the way for replicating our prenatal success in the oncology space. The LIMS Associate is a full-time on-site position (in either our Menlo Park or Union City sites) and reports to the Associate Director of Process Engineering.
