Skills & Qualifications

The candidates can sit and do a hybrid schedule at any one of these sites (Indianapolis, Winslow ME, Fort Dodge IA, Elwood KS, Clinton IN).

During the first 6 months they will be going through the implementation phases for Labvantage and Tulip so there will be travel to the various sites for a couple weeks at time but will slow down heading into 2027. The goal of these candidates are to get cloud connectivity with these tools so then they can support them anywhere moving forward and work from any site.

Once they are on site they will work with instrumentation with the cloud and to physical devices. Kind of having a Deskside Engineer personality but a technical developer/implementation person within Lab Vantage and Tulip. Both spots are essentially the same type of person with different technologies. One of them is on the quality side of it and the other is on the manufacturing execution.

Would love to have GxP/pharma environment experience. Open to higher salaries for the right people
