Laboratory Automation Engineer Technical Research Scientist Apply
Role: Laboratory Automation Engineer/Technical Research Scientist -iPSC Technologies
Client: Bristol Myers Squibb
Location: Cambridge, MA - 02141
Bristol Myers Squibb seeks a highly motivated associate lab automation engineer to join the Discovery Biology team in the Neuroscience Thematic Research Center (NTRC). The newly developed NTRC is dedicated to the discovery of new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease as well as rare diseases that affect both adults and children. We are looking for a candidate who is interested in learning advanced cell culture approaches including iPSC technology and automating these approaches to accelerate the discovery of new medicines for neurodegeneration.
Responsibilities:
Work with scientists to develop, optimize and implement automated workflows for iPSC maintenance, differentiation and maintenance of differentiated neurons
Work with scientists to develop, optimize and implement automated workflows for disease modelling, target identification and therapeutic profiling
Perform lab automation operations including protocol design, run set up and break-down, error recovery, point-teaching etc.
Assist scientists with operation of automation platform, providing training and error-recovery support as needed.
Manage equipment scheduling, routine and preventative maintenance and lab consumables inventory.
Perform and record quality control tests of platform instruments such as liquid handlers, imagers, and plate readers.
Assist in maintaining data management platform.
Minimum Requirements:
BS in an engineering discipline (biomedical, robotics, computer science or related field) with 1-3 years experience programming and maintaining lab automation.
or Molecular Biology/Biochemistry/Physics with 2+ years of relevant automation experience
Experience with liquid handling platforms such as Hamilton Microlab Vantage/STAR, Beckman Biomek i5/i7, Tecan Fluent etc.
Experience working with service engineers to troubleshoot and maximize system uptime.
Knowledgeable in instrument qualification processes.
Fast learner, adaptable and able to work effectively in a cross functional team environment.
Preferred Additional Qualifications and Experience:
Experience with cell culture and routine molecular biology techniques
Hands-on experience applying lab automation to support screening or stem cell related workflows
Experience with lab automation scheduling software and robotic systems such as HighRes Cellario, Hamilton's Venus
Must be onsite at Cambridge Crossing full time.
Mon - Fri regular business hours.
Working in a laboratory setting. No hazardous materials, blood or animals.
