Senior Specialist Ii, Lab Systems Engineering

Resilience is ushering in an era of “Biomanufacturing-as-a-Service” that will displace in-house manufacturing and traditional contract manufacturing and development organizations (CDMOs). We see this as a paradigm shift in biomanufacturing akin to the IT industry’s adoption of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that rendered obsolete corporate-owned/operated data centers or corporate servers co-located in hosting facilities.

The Senior Specialist II, Laboratory Systems Engineering, provides Digital support and services for laboratory-based computer systems and is accountable for the end-to-end lifecycle of laboratory software.

These lab computers and systems, used for both R&D and Production activities, enable our scientists to carry out critical experiments, our production teams to be more efficient, and enable our digital strategy.

The role requires interaction with various stakeholders, including laboratory managers, researchers, QC analysts, infrastructure and network engineers, and System owners/administrators.

The successful candidate will work across technical and scientific domains, help design and implement on-premises and cloud-based data and systems architectures, and deliver initiatives around raw laboratory instrument data management practices and governance. Work closely with their peers across our Digitally Enabled sites to maintain a consistent alignment and approach for operations and support of our biomanufacturing systems.

The responsibilities include systems implementation, computer systems validation, project management, close-to-the-instrument support, and coordination with bioinformatics teams. Implement solutions for cloud-native laboratory systems where possible, ensuring that data solutions meet the needs of our researchers and consumers of laboratory data, all while maintaining the highest level of information security, system integration, and data availability.

Responsibilities

• Deliver GxP validation planning and execution for on-premises and enterprise systems deployments
• Provide direct support to the labs and act as an escalation point for enterprise systems events
• Design and implement procedures for the support and management of laboratory computers and devices
• Implement laboratory instrument systems with policies, standards, and procedures aligned with enterprise standards/templates.
• Ensure the secure connection of our systems, whether locally or to the cloud
• Implement software solutions for laboratory equipment, data management, and storage aligned with Enterprise Systems roadmap
