• Experience performing routine analytical or microbiological testing and following laboratory procedures.
• Experience documenting results and maintaining records in line with data integrity expectations.

If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:

• MS or PhD in Biology or Microbiology
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams.
• Experience with analytical techniques such as HPLC/UPLC, PCR, ELISA, or relevant wet chemistry methods.
• Experience with microbiological assays including bioburden, endotoxin, or environmental monitoring.
• Experience with laboratory systems such as LIMS, LES, or SAP for sample and data management.
• Experience conducting investigations, root cause analysis, and implementing CAPA.
• Experience supporting method validation, instrument qualification, or technical transfer activities.
• Demonstrated focus on continuous improvement and previous participation in process improvement projects.

This role is fully on-site, and this is not a hybrid or work from home position.
