About the Role
We are looking for a smart, ambitious and exceptionally organized recent graduate to work closely with our CEO and technical teams.
We build technologies across biotechnology, scientific instrumentation, robotics, software and advanced manufacturing.
Your job is to help turn ideas into execution.
You will take high-level priorities and help break them into clear projects, tasks, owners and timelines, then work directly with our teams to make sure they get completed.
This is a hands-on role. You will spend time with the CEO as well as on the shop floor with engineering, science, manufacturing, testing and production teams.
For the right person, this role is intended to grow into an Operations Lead position.

- Break large projects into tasks, milestones, owners and timelines
- Coordinate projects across technical and production teams

- Identify blockers and help resolve them quickly
- Coordinate prototype builds, testing and production activities
- Spend time on the shop floor understanding project status
- Run short project and production check-ins
- Keep project plans and documentation current
- Make sure information moves between teams
- Identify delays and escalate important issues
- Provide concise progress updates to leadership
- Help improve our project-management and operating systems
- Take increasing ownership of operations as you develop

- Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment

You Might Be a Great Fit If
Someone can give you an objective and say:
“Figure out what needs to happen and get it done.”You enjoy taking something ambiguous and turning it into an organized plan.
You want to understand what is actually happening on the shop floor rather than managing everything from a spreadsheet.
You are comfortable asking questions, chasing down answers and following up until something is finished.
Most importantly, you want a role where your responsibility can grow quickly based on your ability.
Career Growth
This position is designed as a pathway toward operational leadership.
A strong performer can progress from:
Technical Operations Coordinator → Project Lead → Operations Lead
As you develop, you will take increasing responsibility for projects, teams, production and company-wide execution.
Pay: $50,000.00-$65,000.00 per year
