If you can envision the lab of tomorrow, then help us create it!

Agilent is the undisputed leader in laboratory analyses, and now we are focusing our efforts on solving the next level of challenges in today’s laboratories: crafting the fully transformed, digital lab. We have set our sights on automation and data insights as two key topics for the transformed lab.

As part of this effort, we seek a versatile individual to define the requirements for Agilent’s next steps towards integration and automation of the lab. Seamless integration of hardware and software is essential for enabling error-free, low-touch interoperability in the lab of the future.

4. Partner with cobot and orchestration software providers.
5. Work across divisions and hands-on with the Waldbronn Co-Creation Lab (CCL) to develop demo-ready proof of concept solutions.
6. Represent customers (both internal and external) in prioritization discussions.
7. Represent collaborators (both internal and external) in technical requirement discussions.
8. Collaborate with Product Managers and Product Owners to understand product requirements (use cases, features, business and technical domain rules, and overall product goals) and to communicate development risks to prioritize implementations collaboratively.
9. Maintain subject matter expertise with a deep understanding of the technical details within your focus area.

Qualifications:

This role benefits from a hybrid background in sciences and software development.

1. Bachelor’s degree in (Computer) Science, Engineering, or Automation; an advanced degree in Science and/or Computer Science is a plus.
2. 5+ years of professional experience, with at least 2 years in the role of Product Manager, Product Owner, or similar.
3. Direct experience with automating lab operations with robots, cobots, AGV/AMRs, and/or vial/plate mobility solutions.
4. Profound understanding of lab workflows, ideally with experience in HPLC/GC/MS.
5. Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
6. Understanding of IT/OT interfaces and emerging technologies like federated search, AI/ML, persona-based UI.
7. Strong communication and presentation skills.

We Offer:

• Permanent contract in a fast-growing global company.
• Challenging projects within a dynamic, collaborative team.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package.
• Work-Life Balance programs.
• Training and development opportunities.
• Inclusive environment respecting diverse cultural and individual perspectives.
