Full-time
Guardant Health is a leading precision oncology company focused on helping conquer cancer globally through use of its proprietary tests, vast data sets and advanced analytics. The Guardant Health oncology platform leverages capabilities to drive commercial adoption, improve patient clinical outcomes and lower healthcare costs across all stages of the cancer care continuum. Guardant Health has commercially launched Guardant360, Guardant360 CDx, Guardant360 TissueNext, Guardant360 Response, and GuardantOMNI tests for advanced stage cancer patients, and Guardant Reveal for early-stage cancer patients. The Guardant Health screening portfolio, including the Shield test, aims to address the needs of individuals eligible for cancer screening.
About the Role:
Your work will be critical in the analytical and clinical validation of in-vitro diagnostic products and subsequent regulatory approval as companion diagnostics (CDx) for new therapeutics in the US and internationally.

Write and design experimental protocols and reports in collaboration with the technology development group.
Propose and present detailed designs and concise, well-written reports to cross-functional teams.
Conduct feasibility analyses, including simulations drawing from a rich database of historical test results and evaluation of external technologies.
Leverage cutting edge AI methods to streamline analytical workflows and continuously improve submission efficiency and efficacy.
Minimum Qualifications:
PhD/Master level with 0-2/4-6+ years related industry experience.
Experience with experimental design and associated statistical analysis (e.g., hypothesis testing, regression, hierarchical models, equivalence / non-inferiority).
Experience with python programming and python data analysis libraries and tools (i.e. numpy, scipy, pandas, ipython notebooks, etc.).
Ability to develop analyses, models, reproducible code, and reports with Python.
Familiarity with data science software development practices.
Familiarity with genomic diagnostics.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with interacting with medical diagnostic regulatory bodies (e.g. FDA, PMDA, EMA).
Experience validating medical devices as companion diagnostics to competent authorities.
Experience with NGS technology and workflows.
