Are you passionate about creating efficient and scalable systems that manage the lifeblood of scientific laboratories-data? Do you thrive on designing robust software solutions that streamline complex laboratory workflows, ensuring accurate, accessible, and secure management of samples, experiments, and results? If you're excited about transforming the way laboratories manage and analyze data, our client has the perfect role for you. We're seeking a LIMS Developer (aka The Data Custodian) to design and implement powerful Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) that make lab operations smarter, faster, and more precise.
As a LIMS Developer at our client, you'll collaborate with scientists, IT specialists, and lab managers to build software that optimizes data collection, tracking, and analysis across a wide variety of laboratories, from pharmaceutical R&D to clinical diagnostics. Your work will ensure that scientific data is efficiently managed, securely stored, and easily accessible to drive better decision-making in research and lab operations.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Develop and Customize LIMS Software: Design, develop, and implement LIMS software tailored to the specific needs of laboratories. You'll configure and customize the system to manage sample tracking, data collection, experiment workflows, and reporting processes.
2. Collaborate with Laboratory Teams to Optimize Workflows: Work closely with lab managers, researchers, and IT teams to understand laboratory workflows and data management needs. You'll ensure that LIMS solutions are user-friendly and integrated with existing lab technologies, enhancing operational efficiency.
3. Integrate LIMS with Lab Instruments and Software: Build and maintain integrations between LIMS and laboratory instruments, such as chromatographs, mass spectrometers, or automated sample handlers. You'll also connect LIMS to external databases and software systems, ensuring seamless data flow across platforms.
4. Ensure Data Security and Regulatory Compliance: Implement robust security measures to protect sensitive laboratory data, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11, CLIA, and ISO 17025. You'll work to ensure data integrity, access control, and audit trails for all laboratory information.
5. Create Reporting and Data Visualization Tools: Develop custom reports and data visualization tools that provide laboratories with real-time insights into their data. You'll help labs monitor key metrics, such as sample status, test results, and quality control metrics, to drive better decision-making.
6. Provide Ongoing Support and Maintenance: Deliver ongoing technical support, updates, and maintenance to ensure that the LIMS platform operates smoothly and efficiently. You'll troubleshoot issues, improve system performance, and provide training for lab personnel on LIMS usage.
7. Stay Up-to-Date with LIMS and Laboratory Trends: Continuously monitor advancements in LIMS technology, data management practices, and laboratory workflows. You'll experiment with new tools, integrations, and methods to ensure that the LIMS system stays ahead of laboratory needs and evolving industry standards.
