- Perform and review quality control, instrument qualification, performance monitoring, and maintenance activities to ensure compliance with established performance standards and assay requirements.
- Identify, investigate, document, and promptly escalate assay, instrument, reagent, sample, or quality-related issues to laboratory management to minimize impact on study samples and laboratory operations.
- Monitor quality control and instrument performance data, recognize emerging trends, and escalate potential risks to laboratory management before assay performance or patient sample testing is impacted.
- Monitor reagent and consumable usage, anticipate laboratory demand, and escalate inventory risks to ensure uninterrupted testing while minimizing waste and reagent expiry.
- Support assay validation, reagent lot-to-lot qualification, and implementation of process improvements.
- Maintain audit-ready documentation and ensure compliance with applicable laboratory, quality, and regulatory requirements.

To be successful in the role, you will ideally have:
- Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Immunology, Cell Biology, Biomedical Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Biotechnology, or a related Life Sciences discipline.
- 2+ years of hands-on Flow Cytometry experience in a clinical, CRO, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or academic laboratory environment preferred.
- PBMC isolation, DNA extraction and PCR is also desirable but not required.
- Knowledge of regulated laboratory environments (GCLP, GCP, CLIA, CAP, ISO15189 or equivalent) is preferred.
- Experience performing multi-colour flow cytometry assays, instrument setup, quality control, troubleshooting, and data analysis.
- Strong interpersonal, communication, laboratory, and organizational skills are essential.
