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.
Why Us
Illumina Laboratory Services (ILS) is an exciting and rewarding organization that conducts Illumina's Infinium microarray assays as a high-throughput commercial service, primarily supporting Ancestry DNA® and Embark® Vet. In addition, ILS applies core sequencing technology to the early clinical application of Whole Genome Sequencing (cWGS) to demonstrate the real-world impact of using genomics to improve human health. The team focuses on expanding the impact of cWGS screening to test for rare, undiagnosed genetic diseases (RUGD). Our goal for WGS is to provide additional value over genotyping and whole-exome sequencing, and provide support for Illumina's philanthropic causes like iConserve, accelerating wildlife conservation research. The San Diego Process Engineering and Support Team's (PEST's) Lab Automation Engineers are responsible for bringing transformative yet practical automation solutions to the lab and sustaining our deployed clinical workflows.

You thrive within a fast-paced environment, and enjoy spending hands-on time in the lab.
