The focus on reliability begins at the earliest stage of product design and carries through to the end user.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to:

• Verification leads on projects where you will own the verification and regression testing, coordinate testing with extended verification team members, and ensure on time delivery according to project schedules.
• Hands-on design and execution of complex test methods to assess hardware and system performance per Design Input Requirements, in compliance with Quality and Regulatory requirements.
• Work independently in a cross-disciplinary environment to plan and execute experiments using specialized test equipment and perform experimental data analysis.
• Analyze complex data via statistical methods and provide written and oral reports and updates to senior and executive management.
• Maintain organized and complete documentation of activities, and provide regular updates on progress, problems, and solutions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Hardware Engineering, Innovation, Biotechnology R&D, Consumables R&D, NPI, Firmware, Software, Technical Support, Service, and other functions to deliver system-level instrumentation platforms that meet the needs of Cepheid’s Oncology and Infectious Disease product portfolios.

The essential requirements of the job include:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Molecular Biology, Life Sciences, or a related technical discipline with 8+ years of experience OR Master’s degree (Electrical, Mechanical, Biomedical preferred) with 6+ years OR Doctoral degree with 3+ years related work experience as a hands-on systems engineer, systems integration engineer, R&D scientist, or similar OR Master’s degree with 3 years’ experience
• Statistics knowledge, including proficiency in the use of Excel or other tools (Statistical data analysis experience with various tools such as Origin, Matlab, R, Python, Mathematica, or Minitab, etc.) for data analysis and presentation.
• Experience in Systems Verification in complex systems with multiple interoperable sub-systems.
• Ownership of verification plans, protocols, test methods, and reports in a regulated environment.
• Able to operate sophisticated computer and instrumentation equipment/hardware, such as environmental chambers.
• Experience with complex instrumentation systems which incorporate optical, mechanical, thermal, firmware, and software components.
• Demonstrated basic laboratory skills, including pipetting and reagent handling techniques.

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:

• General scientific lab experience required with biomedical engineering, bioengineering, and physics background and/or with GMP and GLP experience is a plus.
• Experience in a Quality Environment and experience with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or other biological applications of fluorescence.
• Design and Development testing, and Verification experience.
