  • Minimum 3 years of experience operating within a highly regulated environment (CLIA and/or FDA compliant settings).
  • Minimum 3 years of management experience leading medium-sized teams (e.g., of 7 to 20 engineers or analysts, or larger) in production support or operational roles.
  • Working knowledge of diagnostic laboratory business processes and genomic/bioinformatics technologies.
