Job Description
Job Title:
T1 Formulations Technician Job Description The T1 Formulations Technician supports the reagent operations testing team by performing a variety of chemical and biological tests on reagent products used as calibration materials in diagnostic medical equipment for hospitals and clinics. In this role, you spend most of your day operating specialized immunoassay analyzers and the remainder preparing run documentation, performing data analysis, and completing written reports. By following established procedures and maintaining accurate training and quality records, you help ensure that high‑quality products are manufactured in a fast‑paced, regulated environment and directly contribute to critical, real-time healthcare decisions. Responsibilities Independently execute testing activities onDXI 9000, DXI
800, and Access 2 immunoassay analyzers according to operational plans and customer demand. Perform set-up, calibration, routine operation, and basic troubleshooting of reagent components and analytical instruments. Conduct testing on solutions, including measurements of pH, conductivity, and density, to verify adherence to production and process specifications. Prepare calibrator materials used in diagnostic medical equipment, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and traceability of all materials produced. Follow established standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all laboratory and production activities, including reagent preparation, formulation, and testing. Use analytical and scientific methods to plan, execute, and document daily laboratory tasks with a high level of precision and attention to detail. Perform approximately 75% of daily work operating company-specific analyzers and about 25% performing desk-based tasks such as preparing run sheets, entering data, and writing test summaries. Accurately document all work performed, including test conditions, results, deviations, and observations, in laboratory notebooks, electronic systems, or other designated records. Maintain compliance with FDA Quality System Regulations (QSR), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and applicable regulatory requirements in all aspects of work. Handle reagents, formulations, and samples using appropriate pipetting techniques and laboratory tools to ensure precise volumes and prevent contamination. Support continuous adherence to quality and safety standards by promptly reporting issues, participating in investigations as requested, and helping to implement corrective actions. Collaborate with team members while working independently on assigned tasks to meet production schedules and customer demand in a fast-paced environment. Essential Skills Bachelor's degree in a science-related field. At least 3 months of laboratory experience, which may include academic laboratory work.

Capability to perform solution testing such as pH, conductivity, and density measurements. Ability to independently operate laboratory equipment and analyzers after training. Strong documentation skills, including accurate recording of data and preparation of written reports. Ability to work effectively in a regulated manufacturing and laboratory environment while meeting production timelines. Additional Skills & Qualifications Previous experience in a production or manufacturing environment. Experience working in a regulated manufacturing or laboratory setting compliant with QSR and GMP.
