Job Title: Quality Control Senior Specialist

Duration: 10+ Months (PE)

Location: 27540, NC

Note: This position will be Hybrid (3 days a week onsite).

The candidate must be located near Holly Springs, NC.

This position will be responsible for leading the development, deployment, and maintenance of advanced digital tools and data solutions for the Quality Control (QC) laboratory. The role resides within the QC Systems group and reports to the Manager of Digital Laboratory Systems.

This individual will operate with a high degree of autonomy, directly partnering with process Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across QC (e.g., Chemistry, Microbiology, Bioassay, QC Support) to analyze workflows, identify inefficiencies, and independently build scalable digital solutions. The role requires the ability to rapidly translate complex laboratory processes and data flows into robust tools that enhance data accessibility, reporting, and operational efficiency.

The successful candidate will act as a technical leader, responsible for end-to-end development across the digital tool lifecycle in QC, including requirements gathering, design, implementation, and support. This includes building enterprise-grade tools using Databricks, SQL, Microsoft Power Platform, Power BI, and SharePoint.

The position requires a combination of deep technical expertise complemented by some knowledge of QC laboratory operations and/or Quality System processes, enabling the individual to effectively interpret QC data structures (e.g., LIMS, lab notebooks, QMS) and develop fit-for-purpose solutions without extensive onboarding.

This position will work in a highly collaborative yet self-directed environment, driving digital innovation, communicating progress, identifying risks, and ensuring delivery of high-impact solutions that advance QC digital maturity.
