12. Support method troubleshooting and optimization, ensuring assay robustness, reproducibility, and consistency across runs.
13. Maintain laboratory instruments and ensure proper calibration and performance, supporting compliance with quality and safety standards.
14. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., protein production, process development) to support project timelines and deliverables.
15. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including method refinement, workflow efficiency, and data quality enhancement.

Qualifications:

1. BS or MS in Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Biotechnology, or a related field with 2+ years of relevant experience in protein analytical characterization or QC.
2. Hands-on experience with protein analytical techniques such as HPLC/UPLC, CE, SDS-PAGE, Western blot, LC-MS, or endotoxin assays.
3. Familiarity with protein characterization workflows, including purity, aggregation, and identity analysis.
