Why we read it this way (4)
This role is a hybrid of laboratory instrument/software validation (GxP/GMP/GLP compliance, CAPA, qualification testing, audit trails) and analytical chemistry (HPLC techniques, CE), making SOC classification genuinely ambiguous. 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) was chosen as the primary code because the dominant described work is instrument validation, software compliance, electronic records, and system administration in a regulated environment — but 15-1299 is a reasonable runner-up given the specialized lab-systems nature of the work.
The degree requirement is listed as a Bachelor's in physical science, but the posting explicitly states that two years of directly related industry experience substitutes for one year of college, meaning equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of the degree — so no hard degree gate is set.
HPLC techniques (IEX, SEC, HIC, RP) and CE (including ICE) are listed in the qualifications section with firm language ('Experience in the analysis of therapeutic proteins using…'), treating them as hard requirements. These are analytical chemistry skills rather than software/IT skills, reflecting the dual nature of this role.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
