98 open diagnostics sales roles in California, taken straight from employers' own careers pages and refreshed twice a day.
Diagnostics sales connects healthcare and laboratory customers with tests, testing services or diagnostic products. Gene sequencing and most makers of lab instruments and supplies are filed here as well; research tools sold to laboratories outside healthcare are not listed. The customer can be a physician practice, laboratory or health system, depending on the role. Selling laboratory services and selling laboratory equipment are different assignments, so use the product and call-point information alongside each employer’s responsibilities and travel requirements.

As of Nov 6, 2026, 23 matching postings state a minimum of zero to two years, while 12 do not state a minimum. These are stated experience requirements, not a guarantee of entry-level eligibility. A posting can require industry experience, a credential or a particular background separately; read the employer's qualifications before applying.
The median advertised annual base is $145,000, calculated from 62 qualifying postings as of Nov 6, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates and on-target earnings. It measures advertised base pay, not take-home pay or first-year total compensation. 86% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Nov 6, 2026 are Quest Diagnostics (12), Natera (10), Caris Life Sciences (8). These are currently advertised postings on MedSales Radar, not a complete census of hiring or proof of expansion. Counts can change after an employer refreshes its careers site; use the linked listings to check current requirements and locations.
3 of 98 matching postings are flagged remote as of Nov 6, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 51 state a travel percentage. A field role run from a home office is not counted as remote, because it involves customer visits and a defined territory. A missing remote flag does not establish an office requirement, and an unstated travel percentage does not mean no travel. Confirm territory and travel expectations with the employer.
