• Lead verification testing for instrumentation platforms, including test planning, execution, and coordination with extended verification teams to meet project schedules
• Design and implement complex test methods and fixtures to evaluate hardware and system performance against Design Input Requirements in compliance with Quality and Regulatory requirements
• Work independently in a cross-disciplinary environment to plan and execute experiments using specialized test equipment, perform experimental data analysis, maintain organized documentation of activities, and provide regular updates on progress, problems, and solutions
• Generate technical reports and data packages for senior and executive management, including statistical analysis outputs and documented verification results
• Maintain complete documentation in compliance with Quality Management Systems and collaborate with Hardware Engineering, Innovation, Biotechnology R&D, Consumable R&D, Technical Support, Firmware, Software, Services and NPI teams to deliver oncology and infectious disease diagnostic platforms

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Molecular Biology, Life Sciences, or related technical discipline with 8+ years of experience OR Master's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Biomedical Engineering with 6+ years OR Doctoral degree with 3+ years related work experience in systems engineering, systems integration, or R&D
• Proficiency in statistical data analysis using Excel and advanced tools such as Origin, Matlab, R, Python, Mathematica, or Minitab for quantitative data evaluation and presentation
• Direct experience in systems verification of complex instrumentation systems with multiple interoperable sub-systems, including optical, mechanical, thermal, and firmware components
• Demonstrated execution of verification plans, protocols, test methods, and technical reports in regulated environments (FDA, ISO, IEC, CLIA, CAP)
• Hands-on operation of sophisticated instrumentation and computer-controlled hardware, including environmental chambers and laboratory equipment for reagent handling and pipetting

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:

• General scientific lab experience required with biomedical engineering, bioengineering, and physics background and/or with GMP and GLP experience is a plus.
• Experience in a Quality Environment and experience with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or other biological applications of fluorescence.
• Design and Development testing, and Verification experience.
