This candidate will be the first line of defense in providing support and troubleshooting together with production automation lead, scientists and technicians as well as the engineering team. You will champion instrument qualifications (plan, execute and document) to ensure all laboratory equipment is best fit-for-purpose and is operating at the highest level required for GxP compliance. This individual will develop and run monthly QCs to ensure instrument’s in-spec performance and to the IQ/OQ standards. You will work with vendors and the quality team to oversee instrument reliability, up time and high operational quality. During periods of increased sample demand, production coverage might be requested.

General Responsibilities:

  • Serve as the primary "first line of defense" for real-time automation hardware troubleshooting, error recovery, and system maintenance across production runs.
  • Partner with Production Automation Lead, scientists, technicians and engineers to diagnose hardware-software integration issues and minimize operational downtime.
  • Coordinate vendor-executed preventive maintenance on all equipment. Collaborate with facilities to ensure up-to-date service contract coverage.
  • Author and update automation equipment Standard Operating Procedures and Work Instructions.
  • Champion instrument qualifications (draft, execute, and document IQ/OQ/PQ protocols) within a GLP-compliant laboratory.
  • Develop the methodology and routinely perform QC on liquid handling platforms to ensure proper instrument performance
  • Provide occasional production run coverage and operational support during high-demand processing periods.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Automation Platform Expertise: Hands-on technical proficiency with common liquid handling platforms (specifically Hamilton STAR/Vantage instrumentation), alongside Agilent/BioTek devices (i.e.EL406 washer, Synergy NEO) and Thermo Fisher peripherals (i.e. KingfisherFlex and others).
  • Biological Workflow Fluency: Familiarity with common laboratory applications and assay preparation, including but not limited to ligand binding assays (ELISA/MSD), genomics (NGS/qPCR/ddPCR), and LCMS.
  • Technical Aptitude & Troubleshooting: Strong intuitive grasp of hardware-software integration, logic-based liquid handler tasks, and physical error recovery protocols on active production lines.
  • Process & Quality Mindset: Exceptionally structured, detail-oriented, and process-driven. You thrive in regulated (GLP/GxP) environments where data integrity and system uptime are paramount.
  • Adaptability & Communication: Clear written and verbal communication skills. Proven ability to prioritize tasks, adapt to shifting priorities, and collaborate effectively across cross-functional science, automation, and software teams.
  • Education & Experience: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Biology, or a related field with 5+ years of hands-on industry experience combined with proven experience managing, configuring, or troubleshooting lab automation in a fast-paced production or clinical setting.

In accordance with Massachusetts pay transparency requirements, the base salary range for this role is $100,000 – $174,000. Actual compensation will vary based on experience, skills, scope, responsibilities, and internal equity.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
