Job Description

Sr. LIMS Software Engineer is responsible for design, coding, testing, review, maintenance and development for Medline's STARLIMS LIMS application. This includes implementing new features, change controls, and fixes to any bugs or errors within the STARLIMS Application. Lead in evaluating how LIMS can be improved, streamlined, and integrated with other software, services, and solutions. Must be able to communicate and collaborate effectively with LIMS stakeholders, IT reps, and lab other cross-functional teams both in layman and technical communication.

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain highly scalable and reliable lab software solutions for LIMS.
• Lead in evaluating ways to streamline and improve efficiencies in LIMS and its associated software, services, etc.
• Lead in evaluating systems, servers, networking, and other applications associated with LIMS to ensure they are properly designed organized and efficiently ran.
• Perform Coding for STARLIMS exclusively, with the purpose of maintaining the existing STARLIMS Environments (DEV, TEST, PROD) by implementing new features, change controls, and fixing any bugs or errors within the STARLIMS Application.
• Must be able to understand, execute, and document the following testing.
  • Scripted Testing - Dynamic testing in which the tester's actions are prescribed by written instructions in a test case.
  • Unscripted Testing - Dynamic testing in which the tester's actions are not prescribed by written instructions in a test case. It includes:
  • Ad-hoc Testing - A concept derived from unscripted practice that focuses primarily on performing testing that does not rely on large amounts of documentation (e.g., test procedures) to execute.
  • Error-Guessing - A test design technique in which test cases are derived on the basis of the tester's knowledge of past failures or general knowledge of failure modes.
  • Exploratory Testing - Experience-based testing in which the tester spontaneously designs and executes tests based on the tester's existing relevant knowledge, prior exploration of the test item (including results from previous tests), and heuristic "rules of thumb" regarding common software behaviors and types of failure. Exploratory testing looks for hidden properties, including hidden, unanticipated user behaviors, or accidental use situations that could interfere with other software properties being tested and could pose a risk of software failure.
  • Integration Testing - Scripted Testing, Unscripted Testing, or a combination of both, that's usually performed in the TEST LIMS environment. Integration testing is to be performed by the BI Analyst or Report Manufacture and if necessary, a SME or Lab POC. They are to make sure the report request is satisfying the submitters requirements, and that report is functioning adequately as expected.
  • Verification Testing - Scripted Testing, Unscripted Testing, or a combination of both, that's performed to verify no other issues are found in the report before it is to be used by LIMS users, and to verify the intended changes are present in the Production environment.
