About The Position

Every product that leaves Filtrous carries our reputation with it. A contaminated reagent can ruin a clinical test. A mislabeled vial can delay critical research. As our Lab Technician, you are the last line of defense between our products and the labs that depend on them. You'll manufacture solutions and PCR panels, perform quality control testing, and ensure every lot meets specification before it ships. Your attention to detail directly protects the scientists and patients who rely on what we make. At Filtrous, you're not just another technician on a factory floor. You're a critical member of a small, tight-knit team where your work has a direct and visible impact. You'll develop hands-on skills across manufacturing, quality control, and even digital product management. You'll work alongside scientists, operations staff, and leadership in an environment that values initiative and rewards attention to detail. As Filtrous grows, you'll have opportunities to take on more responsibility, specialize in areas that interest you, and advance your career in quality and manufacturing.
