EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
JAKE SCHURKMAN
R&D Scientist II
How long have you been with MMQCI and how did you first learn about our company?
I’ve been with the company since July 11th of 2022. I learned about the company through the Bioscience Association of Maine job board where I saw that R&D Scientist positions were listed. If you’re looking for biology related career opportunities, I highly encourage the use of the job board and the association!
What are your primary responsibilities?
The primary responsibilities of an R&D scientist are quite broad. My main role at MMQCI requires me to design, test, and develop innovative scientific solutions which will generate new product concepts and new products for MMQCI. I work hard to design quality controls that monitor all essential aspects of the molecular diagnostic assays I am working with so that labs can be confident in their test results. Another one of my main roles is to write, perform, and analyze rigorous studies for our controls to allow for FDA 510k and IVDR submission. I also consider myself to be somewhat of a social event coordinator here at MMQCI. I’m involved in pretty much all events that go on at the company like softball tournaments, picnics, holiday parties, birthday celebrations, and more! The list of other responsibilities could go on for a while, but those are my main responsibilities.
Describe MMQCI in three words:
Driven, thorough, and caring
