Lab Technician 1
Where Precision Meets Purpose in Every Batch
Why This Role Matters
Every product that leaves Filtrous carries our reputation with it. A contaminated reagent can ruin a
clinical test. A mislabeled vial can delay critical research. As our Lab Technician, you are the last line
of defense between our products and the labs that depend on them. You'll manufacture solutions
and PCR panels, perform quality control testing, and ensure every lot meets specification before it
ships. Your attention to detail directly protects the scientists and patients who rely on what we
make.
What You'll Do
• Manufacture with Precision: Prepare mobile phase bag solutions and PCR panels following
standard operating procedures. Ensure every batch meets quality specifications through rigorous
QC testing before approval or rejection.
• Inspect and Test at Every Stage: Perform visual and functional inspections on incoming raw
materials, in-process products, and finished goods. Use standard testing equipment and
document all results, observations, and deviations.
• Keep Our Website Accurate: Collaborate with marketing and product teams to review the
website weekly, flagging and resolving issues related to product content, listings, and structure.
• Manage Sample Inventory: Organize and maintain both physical and digital sample inventories
on an ongoing basis, ensuring all items are accessible, documented, and updated regularly.
• Document Everything: Accurately record inspection and testing results following quality control
protocols. Maintain organized records and assist in generating reports on QC activities, findings,
and corrective actions.
• Uphold Compliance and Safety: Adhere to ISO 9001:2015 standards and company policies.
Ensure proper handling and disposal of materials, and participate in audits and continuous
improvement efforts.
How Success is Measured
• Maintain 100% SOP adherence on all manufacturing and QC processes
• Zero product escapes: catch all deviations before products ship to customers
• Complete weekly website product reviews with all issues flagged and resolved
• Maintain organized, audit-ready sample inventory with up-to-date documentation
• Pass all internal and external quality audits with zero findings in areas of responsibility
