QA/RA Lead with Project Management Skills
Princeton, NJ – Full Time
RICOVR Healthcare is an innovative, early-stage biotech start-up dedicated to revolutionizing point-of-care and home health diagnostics. We are a venture-backed, NIH-funded company named one of the Top 10 technology startups in Princeton in 2022 and one of the top 26 startups in Business Insiders in 2021.
Currently, a gap exists between point-of-care and lab-based diagnostics. Existing point-of-care diagnostic technologies are qualitative, lacking sensitivity and accuracy. In contrast, clinical lab-based technologies are expensive and require trained personnel, large equipment, and time-consuming sample analysis. RICOVR Healthcare aims to fill this gap by achieving the sensitivity, accuracy, and quantification of lab-based machines in a portable, low-cost platform that enables true point-of-care application for a wide range of health and diagnostic markers.
RICOVR Healthcare’s platform technology utilizes a novel optic biosensor combined with functionalized plasmonic nanoparticles to enable quantitative immunoassays at the point-of-care. We are at an inflection point in bringing this technology to market and seek to expand our scientific team. If you want to be part of commercializing a new technology at the interface of biology, chemistry, engineering, and healthcare while working with innovative and driven colleagues, then you should reach out to us!
