  • Minimum 8 years of relevant industry experience with a Master's degree (or minimum 4 years with a Doctorate).
  • 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.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES:

  • Proficient in data analysis and statistical techniques.
  • Proficient in Python and SQL development.
  • Hands-on experience with Snowflake platform technologies and AWS cloud analytics tooling (Redshift, Athena, Batch, EC2, S3).
