• Operate, monitor, and maintain laboratory instrumentation and production equipment.
• Troubleshoot minor process and equipment issues and escalate concerns when necessary.
• Maintain an organized, clean, and 5S‑compliant workspace.
• Follow all safety and regulatory requirements, including proper PPE and hazardous materials handling.
• Demonstrate professionalism, teamwork, and dependable attendance.
• Complete required training programs, including annual RCRA awareness training.
• Take on additional duties and tasks as assigned based on business needs.

Qualifications

• Associate or bachelor’s degree in Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or a related scientific field; or equivalent directly related experience.

• Strong attention to detail with excellent organizational skills.
• Ability to follow detailed written procedures and accurately complete documentation.
• Computer skills, including proficiency with Microsoft Office programs (Excel).
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Ability to lift 35+ pounds and stand for extended periods.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an ISO‑13485 or cGMP environment.
• Experience using LIMS or similar laboratory data system.
• Basic understanding of laboratory equipment and scientific principles.
