Summary:

The Life Science Engineer II performs hands‑on service on laboratory instrumentation at an assigned client site. Calibration, scheduled maintenance, demand maintenance, diagnostics and repair are performed by this role rather than routed to a vendor.

This is the mid rung of the Life Science Engineer ladder, defined by independence and platform depth. The role works without daily technical supervision, diagnoses beyond the manufacturer service manual, and holds qualification across more than one instrument family. It is the rung at which an engineer can be placed alone at a site.

The role also reviews work performed by OEM and third‑party service providers. Where a vendor performs a significant share of the service, this role verifies the diagnosis, checks that the quoted repair matches the reported fault, and confirms the work was completed to specification before it is approved for payment. It also builds the technical and usage case for whether Renovo can self‑perform platforms that are currently vendor‑serviced, including tooling, training and documentation requirements.

At small sites with no supervisory seats, the role reports to the site OSS Lead for work allocation, priority and site coordination. Diagnosis, the return‑to‑service decision and platform qualification remain technical decisions and elevate to the Regional Director of Operations and the Technical Center of Excellence. A disagreement on whether an instrument is fit to release is settled technically, not by reporting line.

What you will do:

• Perform calibration, scheduled maintenance (SM), demand maintenance (DM), diagnostics and repair across the assigned site asset base.
• Diagnose faults independently, including faults not covered by the manufacturer service manual.
• Verify instrument performance against manufacturer specification before returning it to service, and make the return‑to‑service decision within qualification.
• Support instrument installation, relocation, qualification and decommissioning.
• Cover satellite locations assigned to the site, including remote technical support where an in‑person visit is not needed.
• Respond to laboratory requests for support on instruments within scope.

• Review vendor and OEM diagnoses, and raise a diagnosis that does not match the observed fault.
• Review quoted repairs and flag scope or cost that is disproportionate to the fault before the quote is approved.
• Verify that vendor work was completed to specification, beyond confirming that the engineer attended and the report was signed.
• Witness vendor work on critical instrumentation and on platforms Renovo is qualifying for self‑perform.
• Provide the technical basis for the Lab Liaison or OSS Lead to approve or reject a…
