What if the work you did every day could impact the lives of people you know? Or all of humanity? At Illumina, we are expanding access to genomic technology to realize health equity for billions of people around the world. Our efforts enable life-changing discoveries that are transforming human health through the early detection and diagnosis of diseases and new treatment options for patients. Working at Illumina means being part of something bigger than yourself. Every person, in every role, has the opportunity to make a difference. Surrounded by extraordinary people, inspiring leaders, and world changing projects, you will do more and become more than you ever thought possible. Our team specializes in developing a fast and accurate platform called DRAGEN for the secondary analysis of NGS genomic data. The platform covers a wide range of pipelines spanning germline and somatic analysis (WGS and targeted; tumor/normal and tumor-only), DNA and RNA workflows, and variant classes including small variants, CNVs, and structural variants. We are looking for a highly driven and talented Staff Bioinformatics Scientist to join our methods development team to work on secondary analysis algorithms. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in computer science, algorithms, statistics, or digital signal processing in addition to expertise in genomics and next generation sequencing. The candidate should be a proven team player and will contribute to the production software codebase. This role will focus on software development for structural variant detection, pangenome references, graph-based algorithms, and NGS assembly methods. Responsibilities: Design, prototype, and implement innovative computational or statistical algorithms to extract meaningful biological signal from sequencing assays. Im
