Technician Operations (Production)

As a Production Technician in the Operations team at GenDx, you you will play a key role in the production of our top-tier transplant diagnostics products. Our laboratory kits and software are used by customers around the globe in combination with the latest technologies. To thrive in this role, you must be responsible, precise, and have a hands-on mentality. You’ll also need excellent planning skills and a natural talent for teamwork. Additionally, you will actively support lab activities, help colleagues with their work and planning, and assist in the implementation of new products, protocols, and processes.
