Ensure new and existing instrumentation (automation and non-automation) meets safety requirements and compliance standards.
Maintain records and follow laboratory procedures to meet regulatory requirements such as FDA, CLIA, and/or CAP.
Support and comply with the company’s Quality Management System policies and procedures.

Influence, Mentorship & Communication

Communicate and influence decisions across multiple functional areas and platforms; evaluate and “sell” alternative solutions, effectively influencing outcomes.
Serve as a recognized expert resource on issues across projects and product lines, and as a role model for project management, communication, and cross-group influence.
Teach and mentor others on technical and development issues, including other process and development engineers, the service engineering team, and laboratory technicians.
