As a consultant on our team, you will work with pharmaceutical, biotech, CRO, and regulated laboratory environments to design, configure, and deploy informatics solutions that improve data integrity, compliance, and operational efficiency. The ideal candidate understands how laboratories operate day to day and can design LIMS solutions that support compliant, efficient, and traceable laboratory workflows, while also configuring supporting entities such as instruments and inventory as needed.

• Sample login, accessioning, and chain of custody
• Test assignment, execution, calculations, and result entry
• Specifications, limits, and result evaluation
• Review, approval, release, and reporting workflows
• Configure supporting LIMS entities required for sample workflows, including tests, methods, materials, products, and locations
• Configure instrument and inventory data as required to support compliant sample testing

• Develop and execute system testing and validation deliverables (IQ/OQ/PQ, test scripts, traceability matrices)
• Support user acceptance testing and defect resolution
• Assist with production deployment and go‑live activities

• Provide post‑implementation support focused on sample processing, results management, and workflow execution
• Troubleshoot issues impacting sample lifecycle workflows and data integrity
• Deliver end‑user training and documentation
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, compliance, and usability within the LIMS

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience working with laboratory informatics systems Labware.

• Experience with complex sample models (e.g., stability programs, high‑volume QC, or multi‑site labs)
• System validation and CSV documentation experience
• Exposure to LIMS integrations or configuration scripting
• Consulting or client‑facing experience
• Experience supporting instrument or inventory data in the context of sample workflows, rather than asset‑centric implementations
• Experience working across multiple informatics systems (e.g., LIMS, ELN, CDS, SDMS)
