Develop and execute automated test suites in Python to validate genomics and bioinformatics applications, including sequencing workflows, variant-calling results, and sample-to-result traceability. Test integrations with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), perform functional, integration, regression, and end-to-end testing, and integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.… Collaborate with wet lab and dry lab teams to translate scientific requirements into test scenarios, validate data integrity and audit trails, and partner with engineering teams on defect resolution. Requires a degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or Life Sciences, 3+ years of QA/test automation experience, strong Python skills, and working knowledge of genomics concepts and laboratory workflows.
variant-calling jobs in San Diego
Senior Bioinformatics Engineer responsible for designing, building, and operating production-grade, end-to-end bioinformatics pipelines that process and interpret large-scale genome cohorts. The role involves deep expertise in genome assembly, variant calling, structural-variant calling, haplotype phasing, and pangenome analysis, with the ability to select, adapt, and benchmark state-of-the-art algorithms.… Requires proficiency in Python and compiled languages (C++/Rust/Go), containerization (Docker/Singularity), workflow managers (Nextflow/Snakemake/WDL), and cloud environments (AWS/GCP). The position combines applied research—exploring AI approaches for biological insight—with continuous improvement of algorithms, code, and computational infrastructure, while mentoring junior staff in a startup environment.
The Bioinformatics Test Engineer will design and execute comprehensive testing strategies for NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) data pipelines, including alignment, variant calling, and annotation workflows. Responsibilities include data validation, regression testing, automated test script development in Python, and collaboration with CI/CD pipelines and cloud-based systems.… The role requires deep knowledge of NGS file formats (FASTQ, BAM, VCF), proficiency in Python scripting, hands-on experience with Git and CI/CD tools, and familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) to ensure data accuracy and pipeline reliability.
Own the end-to-end product roadmap for DRAGEN Array, DesignStudio, and legacy array software, defining requirements based on customer needs and competitive landscape. Act as the voice of array software customers through Voice of Customer efforts, customer interviews, and advisory boards.… Drive go-to-market strategies for new launches and major releases, and translate complex technical capabilities into compelling narratives for enterprise buyers. Coordinate cross-functionally across Illumina's software portfolio to ensure array customers benefit from integrated platform capabilities.
Develop and execute comprehensive automated test plans, test cases, and regression suites for genomics and bioinformatics software applications. Perform functional, integration, regression, and data-validation testing; validate application behavior against genomics concepts (sequencing data, variant calling, sample traceability); and collaborate with wet lab and dry lab teams to translate laboratory workflows into effective test scenarios.… Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, maintain test data, and partner with engineering and product teams on root-cause analysis and quality issue resolution. Requires 3+ years of QA/test automation experience, strong Python skills, hands-on knowledge of genomics fundamentals, and demonstrated experience testing LIMS platforms and life sciences software.
