Solve unusual or highly technical/scientific problems and provide expert input into technical decisions and recommendations.
Take scientific bench protocols from the bench to the automation system.
Develop new products and technologies for emerging and existing markets.
Contribute constructively to others’ designs through design reviews across multiple platforms, and facilitate reuse by communicating available technologies and opportunities across organizations.

Project & Program Leadership

Lead major project teams and major cross-organizational programs; lead and coach multiple efforts and teams to deliver work successfully.
Work with business stakeholders to define strategy and requirements, and to define and execute a collection of projects across the business.

Collaborate and negotiate deliverables with other functional organizations.
Work with senior management on product development initiatives, applying company knowledge and industry expertise to help lead them.
Provide input to senior management for strategic and functional decisions, and help develop decision-making guidelines and problem-solving techniques.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

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.
Regularly demonstrate leadership behaviors: Pioneering, achieving, caring, and enduring.
Communicate issues, problems, and results that affect timelines, accuracy, and reliability of data.
Maintain and continuously develop personal knowledge and expertise related to the service of complex clinical laboratory equipment.
Uphold the company mission and values through pioneering, achieving, caring, and enduring.
