ABOUT US:

Volta Labs is an applications company that is revolutionizing the future of genomics. We are a Boston based, venture-backed biotech startup that makes extracting vital information from biological samples is as simple as pressing a button, through our flagship product Callisto. Our product speeds up processing time for scientists and increases accessibility to important genetic information for patients. Sitting at the intersection of science and engineering, we invite you to join us on our journey to shape the future of genomics, where insatiable curiosity is encouraged and every Voltarian makes an impact.

THE TEAM:

You'll join a team of innovative thinkers who love to experiment, collaborate, and win together. We are passionate about pushing the boundaries of automation, biology, computing, robotics, design, and user experience to benefit our customers and the world.

The Role:

We’re a startup delivering our Instrument and platform to early-adopting customers this year. We’re choosing to manufacture in-house instead of contracting it out overseas to ensure quality and allow us to keep experimenting.

This role requires attendance during normal working hours between 9-5, 5 days a week in the Boston Seaport area.
