• Ability to quickly learn new computer systems;
• Authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Preferred:

• Associate or bachelor’s degree;
• SAP Ariba experience;
• 5S experience;
• Experience supporting equipment calibration or basic instrument maintenance;
• Experience supporting a large laboratory environment or multiple laboratory areas.

• Health insurance with dental and vision insurance options.
