• Expertise in at least one bioassay platform (ELISA, virus titration, HA/HI); data analysis/trending.
• Strong technical writing; effective cross‑functional communicator.

Responsibilities

• Support complex data analysis and trending to identify non-robust or out-of-specification methods; conduct biomaterials assessments, inventory reviews, and gap analyses.
• Perform bench-level remediation across test platforms (live bacterial/virus titration & identification; ELISA for complex multivalent vaccines and in-process materials).
• Author method remediation protocols, validation reports, and USDA regulatory submissions; update internal/regulatory procedures.
• Support post-remediation change control assessments and verification of sustained method performance.
• Participate in/lead cross-functional site-to-site analytical method transfer projects; coordinate timelines/deliverables.
• Assess site capabilities (skills, instrumentation, lab operations) and implement remediation/training plans.
• Provide hands‑on training during transfers and oversee transfer documentation/validation reports.
• Support post‑transfer monitoring to confirm robustness and resolve residual issues.
