Job Details
Hybrid: Onsite: 3-4 days/week depending on testing schedule. Remote when no testing is planned
Duration: Initially 6 months; possible extension up to 18 or 36 months
The ideal candidate will hold a bachelor's degree in Engineering (Biotech, Chemical, or Mechanical) or Life Sciences. Candidates with an associate degree and at least four years of relevant experience will also be considered. Entry Level Candidates are welcome, provided they have academic or research lab experience. Hands-on testing or laboratory experience is strongly preferred, while familiarity with GMP/GDP environments is a plus but not required. Candidates should possess strong written and verbal communication skills, be comfortable working under SOPs, and be capable of lifting up to 50 lbs to move lab shippers. Experience supporting projects through protocol reviews or documentation is valuable, as is exposure to tools like SharePoint or Smartsheet, though this is not mandatory.
This position will be mostly on-site at Thousand Oaks with the ability to work remotely on occasion. Candidate should be within commutable distance, and should be available to work on site at any time. Time spend in lab will be hands on and will require the candidate to be on their feet the majority of the time. Possibility of extension.
