Kilele Health Inc. Lab Technician Cincinnati, OH · Part time Company website

Apply for Lab Technician

Kilele Health is building the next generation of wearable biosensors—bringing continuous, real-time monitoring to important biomarkers beyond glucose. Most patients and clinicians still make critical treatment decisions using laboratory measurements taken only occasionally—a snapshot of biology that is constantly changing. Kilele Health is working to change that.
We are developing a wearable biosensor platform that continuously monitors medically important biomarkers beyond glucose, helping make care more timely, personalized, and proactive. Our proprietary platform combines advanced aptamer chemistry, electrochemical sensing, and a familiar wearable form factor to give patients and clinicians access to biochemical information that today requires intermittent laboratory testing.
Our first products are aimed at patients with phenylketonuria and cardiorenal disease, where better information could meaningfully improve treatment and outcomes, with a broader vision of making previously invisible health signals measurable and actionable. Joining Kilele means helping build a new kind of healthcare technology while working alongside a multidisciplinary team united by scientific rigor, urgency, and a commitment to patients. We are assembling an exceptional team of scientists, engineers, clinicians, and business leaders who want to help turn breakthrough technology into products that meaningfully improve patients’ lives.

Responsibilities

Purchasing, inventory, and lab upkeep — primary focus:

• Check stock levels, confirm what the team needs, and place approved orders for supplies and reagents.
• Track orders through delivery, follow up with vendors on delays or discrepancies, and let the team know when a shortage could affect planned work.
• Check incoming deliveries against orders, store materials appropriately, and update inventory records as items are received or used.
• Monitor expiration dates, rotate stock, and restock shared workstations to keep supplies easy to find and ready to use.
• Organize shared benches and storage areas, wash and store reusable labware, and calibrate equipment in accordance with established procedures.

Bench support — secondary focus:

• Follow written protocols for preparing, labeling, and storing buffers, reagents, and other solutions.
• Perform basic pipetting, dilutions, and assigned steps in molecular selection experiments using the equipment and handling techniques specified in each protocol.
• Record the steps completed and observations made. Ask the research lead for guidance when instructions are unclear, or a procedure does not go as expected.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, or a related field.
• At least one year of hands-on pipetting experience in a wet chemistry or molecular biology setting. Academic laboratory experience counts.
• Ability to pipette accurately, prepare solutions from written instructions, and maintain clear records.
• Ability to organize recurring tasks, follow up on open orders, and communicate supply or equipment issues promptly.

Preferred

• Experience ordering supplies, tracking inventory, or working with vendors.
