- Strong understanding of segmented/ICE networks, firewalls, and secure equipment connectivity in regulated settings.
- Proven leadership of multivendor, onsite/remote teams with measurable SLA attainment and continual improvement.
- Clear, concise communicator across operations, quality, and technical stakeholders; strong stakeholder management in fastpaced settings.
Preferred Qualifications
- Cloud/virtualization exposure; knowledge of cybersecurity best practices; familiarity with R&D OT integrations; ITIL v3/v4 certification ISA-95/ NIST
- Experience with GxP/CSV or CSA frameworks (e.g., GAMP 5), audit support, and dataintegrity practices.
- Familiarity with lab data systems (e.g., ELN/LIMS, CDS), IoT integrations, and monitoring in segmented networks.
- Machine Learning Lifecycle in R&D Labs
Key Responsibilities
- Lead day-to-day IT service delivery for R&D labs working in collaboration with the site based BT and R&D leaders; incident, request, problem, and change management via ITIL/ServiceNow with clear SLAs/OLAs and root-cause eradication and transparent communications to site leadership.
- Act as the site technologist. Translate R&D site strategies into practical, secure solutions on the shop floor and in labs; advise on architectures, platforms, and patterns that accelerate throughput and quality. Understand and document the business goals(s) and how our technology can enable those outcomes
- Serve as domain expert for deployments involving firewalls, ICE/segmented networks, IT/OT integrations, IoT enablement, and equipment connectivity (instrument PCs, controllers, gateways). Document local site capabilities such as asset lists, and locally managed applications working with the BT site leader
- Oversee core lab infrastructure (servers, networks, software baselines, backups/DR) and coordinate patching, hardening, and vulnerability remediation for instrument workstations within regulated constraints. Support audits, CAPAs, deviations, and change control.
- Partner with Lab Operations, Quality, Engineering, Cybersecurity, and vendors to translate lab needs into scalable, secure solutions; manage vendor performance, and onsite activities.
- Drive continuous improvement and cost optimization (process simplification, automation, standardization), maintaining transparency through KPI dashboards and service reviews.
- Ensure compliance with GxP/dataintegrity expectations (e.g., GAMP 5, ALCOA+), and support audits, CAPAs, deviations, and change control for computerized systems.
- Coordinate site readiness for projects (lab moves, new instruments, integrations), including network segmentation (ISA-95 / NIST), connectivity, and qualification/validation impact.
- Maintain cybersecurity and data-integrity expectations; support regulated operations (e.g., GxP) as applicable.
- Maintain robust knowledge articles and runbooks for repeatable, highquality operations in MLL contexts.
- Champion reliability and value. Ensure each initiative ties to business outcomes safety, quality, service, cost working closely with Operations, Quality, Engineering, and Cybersecurity.
