Leads integration of benchtop NGS assays into robust, automated, production-ready workflows for an FDA-cleared diagnostics platform. Responsibilities include labware qualification, DOE-based robustness testing, failure-mode analysis, acceptance criteria, verification and validation, sequencing integration, vendor diligence, and collaboration with assay science, automation engineering, Regulatory, and Quality. The role requires hands-on experience with NGS platforms, library preparation, secondary analysis, Hamilton liquid handlers, VENUS software, and regulated laboratory processes.

Develop, troubleshoot, and validate Hamilton STAR/STAR2 laboratory automation supporting regulated NGS diagnostic workflows. Responsibilities include method development, liquid-class and deck-layout optimization, hardware and peripheral troubleshooting, automated-versus-manual equivalence studies, fleet qualification, root-cause analysis, statistical evaluation, and validation documentation in partnership with Regulatory and Quality teams.
