Job Overview

The Laboratory Design Associate prepares 2D/3D designs and construction plans for standalone, analytics-only laboratory solutions. The role supports the development of the laboratory design throughout multiple phases to ensure the successful implementation of the proposed solution. The Laboratory Design Associate creates basic 3D visualization and digital images to promote sales opportunities and support marketing needs. This off-campus position is part of the Business Operation team and works closely with colleagues, as well as internal and external stakeholders (global business affiliates, field engineers, architects, customers, and others) to address unique design requirements.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is an early-in-career professional CAD designer seeking experience with lab design, technical layouts, and visualization. The role leverages technical and creative skills to design optimal laboratory solutions leading to successful implementations. The successful candidate enjoys collaborating with colleagues and internal and external stakeholders to creatively solve unique design challenges. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and excellent time management skills are essential. While this is a remote position, it may require up to 10% overnight travel across the US.
