Quality control and testing:O Performs quality control and in-process tests of incoming and produced goods, in line with guidelines and product quality standards, to ensure that the products meet with (the customer) agreed quality and to ensure process continuity. Performs analytical tests within research projects, in order to properly assess research test results and conclusions can be drawn.O In production, this includes performing standard as well as specific checks and analysis, identifying and substantiating deviations and reporting these. In consultation with the supervisor disapprove of small and medium batches; tune with the supervisor before larger batches are disapproved or to search for alternatives.O Monitors quality trends, and timely identifies and communicates quality defects, non-conformities and trends to the supervisor, in order to enable preventive measures be taken.R&D studies:O Works closely with researchers to develop lab experimental design and test planso Conducts lab experiments according to the test plan, collates and reports the test resultso Performs in vitro molecular biological, biochemical, microbiological and cell culture assayso Develops and validate novel assays together with researchersReporting:O Records data, observations, and conclusions of samples and test results accurately and timely in the relevant quality or reporting systems, in order to provideinsight and access to the test results and measurements at all timesQuality Assurance:O Periodically checks and calibrates the analytical instruments, based on vendor guidelines and taking into account internal and external regulations, in order to guarantee the validity of measurements and tests.O Proposes efficiency and quality improvementso Assures that all tests and measurements are performed in compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at the laboratory and with the relevant standards such as ISO9001 and ISO17025, contributes to the design and further improvement of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)Maintenance:O Responsible for the tools and instruments used.O Performs first line maintenance activities on the analytical tools and instruments, in order to prevent disruptions in the testing processes and to ensure continuous quality and reliability of test results. This includes performing of minor maintenance as agreed with the technical department, requesting for assistance in case of standstill / disruption of the analysis process by malfunction of the equipment and cooperating / considering the planning of preventive maintenance, the repair of faults and the application of modifications.Supervision and Training:O May train and supervise interns and apprentices, hired laboratory personnel and more junior Laboratory Technicians#J-18808-Ljbffr
