  • Education: B.S. degree in a STEM discipline (Biology, Chemistry, Biotech) is preferred, though relevant hands-on experience and completed STEM coursework are often accepted.
  • Experience: 1 to 3+ years working in a GMP/ISO-regulated manufacturing environment in life science tools, diagnostic, medical device, or pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. Experience with manufacturing of PCR, NGS, and other molecular biology reagent products highly preferred.
  • Skills: Aseptic techniques, high dexterity for repetitive pipetting, proficiency with metric/imperial volume measurements, prolonged standing, color differentiation (relevant given reagent manufacturing such as pH/concentration visual checks) and the physical ability to lift up to 25–50 lbs.
  • Superb attention to details; ability and desire to work in a fast-paced environment, and priorities can change on a regular basis
