Help manufacture the DNA building blocks powering research, diagnostics, and therapeutics.

Eurofins Genomics is looking for a DNA Synthesis Technician I/II to join our oligonucleotide manufacturing team in Louisville, KY, which operates around the clock. You'll be assigned to one shift as your regular, ongoing schedule — no rotating shifts. In this role, you'll run and maintain both proprietary DNA/RNA oligo synthesizers and commercial platforms like CFS, MerMade and Biolytic, and support downstream processing steps such as oligo pre-treatment, deprotection and more.

We're looking for someone who is organized, self-directed, and comfortable working independently in a fast-paced production environment — while also being a great team player who works well with others. Duties and responsibilities may evolve based on business needs and manager discretion, and additional tasks may be assigned as needed.

• Schedule, run, and maintain DNA/RNA oligo synthesizers (proprietary and commercial platforms such as CFS, MerMade and Biolytic)
• Perform downstream oligo processing, including pre-treatment and deprotection
• Learn to perform basic troubleshooting and minor fixes on oligo synthesizers
• Use our proprietary LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) for daily work, order tracking, and documentation
• Follow Work Instructions, Checklists, Batch Records, and Logs accurately
• Maintain production records in compliance with our Quality System
• Keep your work area and equipment clean, organized, and ready for the next run
• Follow all safety and regulatory requirements, including proper PPE and hazardous materials handling
• Complete required training programs, including annual RCRA awareness training
• Take on additional duties and tasks as assigned based on business needs

What You Bring

• Minimum AA degree or equivalent (BS in a science field preferred)
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions precisely
• Comfort working under the pressure of a fast-paced, high-throughput production floor
• Strong team player who works well with others, with the ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Willingness and ability to learn basic troubleshooting and minor fixes on oligo synthesizers
