Automation Scientist

Develop, optimize, validate, and transfer biochemistry analytical methods onto automated platforms to support analysis, monitoring and characterization of samples used in developing and scaling  downstream processes for biological therapeutic treatmentsMaintain and troubleshoot automation software and repositories, including instrument updates and configuration changes.Integrate new instruments into automated workflows and support method rollout (validation and handoff documentation as needed).Provide Hamilton and Tecan liquid-handler scripting and mechanical support, including response to instrument “crash” incidents.Develop automation scripts and workflow expansions, including partner workcell support.Expand data visualization and reporting (dashboards/Power BI), including stakeholder intake and dashboard development.Implement non-critical script enhancements to strengthen metrics, forecasting, and auditability.Expand non-standard automation capabilities to support broader requests and increase assay coverage beyond highest-priority targets.Support on-site 3D printing activity for site/department users.Perform biochemistry methods including UPLC/HPLC (size-exclusion, hydrophobic, ion-exchange, affinity), immunoassays (Gyrolab), CGE and SDS-PAGE to support the quantification and characterization of protein purification processes.Maintain written records (electronic lab notebooks and databases) of all experimental work in accordance with Good Laboratory PracticesCollaborate effectively with team members and cross-functional partners, proactively communicating issues, discussing prioritization, and seeking guidance when needed.
