About the role

Portable Diagnostic Systems (PDS) in Newark, NJ seeks a Senior Scientist to lead scientific programs and advance the Integrity-1 platform. You will mentor scientists, shape toxicology solutions, and drive validation in a fast-paced startup setting. Ideal candidates have a PhD in Chemistry or Biomedical Engineering (MS with 10+ years accepted) and a track record in diagnostic methods (LC-MS, immunoassays). You will collaborate across teams to expand scientific and commercial impact.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
