JOB OVERVIEW
Towards Integrated workflows & Data collection

• Work hands-on with R&B Scientists & technicians in specific sites to upgrade current data operations and practices to build impactful ways of working.
• Work hands-on with R&B users to build automated data workflows where not available (new technologies) and trouble shoot workflows that are flawed or inefficient.
• In association with data continuum and digital team ensure proper functioning of data collection process, integration, software and Internet applications.
• Design, develop, and modify data infrastructure and templates to help scientist accelerate the processes of data analysis and reporting.
• Organize appropriate data collection and raw data processing methods at various users/experimental read outs across R&B teams leading to harmonized data management and utilization.
• Resolve data ingestion issues for benchling including legacy and current data
  Deploy simplification and or data automation tools

Towards Data management & Continuum

• Create and implement digital tracking, inventory management, and automated QC dashboard within Benchling.
• Support R&B scientists to organize and ingest unstructured data.
• Collaborate with Data Science to maintain data management plans for all critical data related to test articles at R&B - Dashboards, meta data etc.
• Ensure scientists at R&B have visibility and access to dashboards and meta data
• Assess system performance and make recommendations and updates for hardware, software, and data storage improvements.
