Strong computer skills including MS Office and CAD (preferably SolidWorks).
Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
In addition to the experience above, the ideal candidate would have familiarity with the following systems and associated software: Biosero Orchestrator / Green Button Go robotic platforms, HighRes BioSolutions (Staubli/Denso/Precise) / Cellario robotic platforms, CellTrio RoboCell, Beckman Echo, GNF Director robotic platforms, and a wide range of laboratory benchtop equipment.
Basic understanding of C# or equivalent programming language.
Interest in the evaluation, integration, and optimization of AI models and orchestration frameworks.
Familiarity with data analysis platforms like Genedata Screener, Spotfire and AI agents.
Experience working with engineers and scientists to develop new automated platforms.
Create innovative solutions to support complex biological assays at scale.
Experience integrating automated systems to LIMS and other scientific data systems, either in-house or commercially available, to support reliable data capture, transfer, traceability, and downstream analysis.
