GenAI Enablement: Identify high‑value GenAI opportunities (e.g., protocol drafting, experiment summarization, semantic search, assay troubleshooting assistants); define guardrails, evaluation, and privacy controls; support pilots through scale‑up.
Instrument & Data Connectivity: Coordinate instrument data capture, ensure metadata/FAIR practices, and support interoperability with analytics/warehouse environments.
Delivery & Support: Manage backlogs and Jira boards; write user stories and acceptance criteria; plan and script UAT; develop training materials and conduct structured end‑user training; provide post‑go‑live support.

GenAI: 1–2+ years enabling enterprise GenAI solutions (prompting/RAG, evaluation/guardrails, responsible use) for scientific knowledge or workflow assistance.
Technical Skills: Familiarity with ELN/LIMS configuration, REST APIs/JSON, basic SQL; understanding of data models, ontologies, and controlled vocabularies.
Analytical Skills: Ability to translate complex scientific requirements into testable specifications and measurable outcomes.
Communication: Strong written/verbal skills for lab, IT, and leadership audiences.
Regulatory Knowledge: Working understanding of 21 CFR Part 11, data integrity, and GxP/CLIA principles as applicable.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands‑on system administration, including schema/registry design, workflows, templates, and data analysis configurations.
Experience with instrument data capture and pipeline tooling; exposure to cloud analytics (e.g., Databricks/Snowflake/Power BI).
Familiarity with vector search/embeddings and evaluation frameworks for GenAI; basic Python or notebooks for demos/data exploration.
Professional certifications (CBAP/CCBA, CSPO/PSPO, PMP).
Compensation Overview Princeton – NJ – US $91,290 – $110,622 (starting compensation range). Additional incentive cash and stock opportunities may be available. Final, individual compensation will be decided based on demonstrated experience.
