LabWare LIMS Configuration & Integration Specialist (LabWare 8)

Location: Newbury Park / Thousand Oaks, CA

Work Arrangement: 100% Onsite

Contract: 5 Months

Extension: Possible

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced LabWare LIMS Configuration & Integration Specialist to support a LabWare 8 implementation within a GMP-regulated laboratory environment.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands‑on experience configuring LabWare LIMS 8, with exposure to laboratory workflows such as raw material testing, commercial/finished product testing, and stability programs. Experience integrating laboratory instruments and systems such as LabX, Empower, or similar platforms is highly valued.

This role will work closely with Quality, Validation, IT, and laboratory teams to translate business and laboratory requirements into compliant LabWare configurations and support testing, validation, deployment, and production troubleshooting.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure LabWare LIMS 8 objects, workflows, master data, specifications, and test templates.
• Configure and support raw material, commercial/finished product, and stability testing workflows.
• Support integration of laboratory instruments, equipment, and external laboratory systems with LabWare.
• Troubleshoot LabWare configuration, workflow, and interface issues.
• Translate laboratory, business, and quality requirements into compliant LIMS configurations.
• Support requirements traceability, functional testing, UAT, and validation activities.
• Prepare and maintain configuration and validation documentation.
• Support GMP change control and system changes throughout the implementation.
• Collaborate with Quality, Validation, IT, and laboratory stakeholders.
• Support deployment, go-live activities, and post-production troubleshooting.
• Contribute to successful implementation or upgrade activities within the LabWare environment.

Required Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience configuring LabWare LIMS, preferably LabWare 8.
• Experience working in a GMP-regulated pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or life sciences laboratory.
• Experience with one or more laboratory workflows:
• Raw material testing
• Finished/commercial product testing
• Stability testing
• Experience with laboratory instrument or system integration.
• Experience supporting LIMS validation, testing, or CSV activities.
• Familiarity with laboratory systems such as LabX, Empower, or similar platforms.
• Understanding of GMP documentation, change control, and validation processes.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LabWare 8 implementations or upgrades.
• Pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry experience.
• Experience taking LIMS configurations through requirements, configuration, testing, validation, and deployment.
• Experience working with cross‑functional QA, Validation, IT, and QC laboratory teams.

What We\'re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on LabWare 8 specialist, not simply a LIMS administrator or business analyst. You should be comfortable working directly with LabWare configuration while understanding GMP laboratory processes, validation requirements, and laboratory system integrations.

Success in This Role

Success will be measured by:

• Timely and accurate completion of LabWare 8 configurations.
• Successful execution and documentation of testing and validation activities.
• Stable operation of configured laboratory workflows.
• Effective troubleshooting and resolution of configuration/interface issues.
• Successful integration of laboratory instruments and systems.
• Effective collaboration with Quality, Validation, IT, and laboratory teams.
