Laboratory Execution System (LES) Developer – BIOVIA

Position Summary

We are seeking a Laboratory Execution System (LES) Developer to support an 18-month laboratory digital transformation project. This position will focus on implementing BIOVIA Laboratory Execution software to replace an existing legacy system and modernize laboratory testing processes.

The developer will work closely with laboratory Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Quality Control (QC), and Commercial teams to convert existing laboratory procedures, testing methods, and recipes into electronic workflows within BIOVIA.

The ideal candidate has a technical background, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to understand laboratory processes and translate them into structured system configurations. Previous BIOVIA experience is beneficial but not required.

Key Responsibilities

BIOVIA System Development and Configuration

• Build and configure laboratory materials, testing assays, recipes, and master data within BIOVIA Laboratory Execution.

• Convert existing laboratory procedures into standardized electronic workflows.

• Support the transition from legacy laboratory systems to the new BIOVIA platform.

• Develop logical data structures that support laboratory testing and QC operations.

Collaboration with Laboratory Teams

• Work directly with laboratory SMEs to understand existing testing procedures.

• Follow a structured three-step development process:

  1. Meet with SMEs to review and document laboratory procedures.

  2. Build and configure the corresponding master data and electronic workflows in BIOVIA.

  3. Review the electronic workflows with SMEs, make necessary adjustments, and support testing, approval, and deployment.

• Coordinate with global QC and Commercial teams to ensure consistency across laboratory processes.

Testing and Quality Assurance

• Develop and execute testing plans to validate electronic laboratory workflows.

• Identify, document, and resolve system configuration issues.

• Verify that electronic procedures accurately reflect approved laboratory methods.

• Support user acceptance testing (UAT), final approvals, and deployment.

• Maintain documentation of testing results, configurations, and process improvements.

• Ensure workflows align with applicable laboratory quality standards and established procedures.

Additional Project Responsibilities

• Support the development of reagent preparation workflows.

• Configure cell culture procedures and related laboratory recipes.

• Assist with additional laboratory processes as the BIOVIA implementation progresses.

Required Qualifications

• 0–5 years of relevant technical or software experience.

• Foundational knowledge of laboratory software environments or similar technical systems.

• Strong logical thinking, analytical skills, and problem-solving abilities.

• Ability to understand processes and translate requirements into structured system configurations.

• Experience working with data structures, system configurations, or software workflows.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with technical and nontechnical stakeholders.

• Ability to work through an iterative development, testing, and deployment process.

• Strong attention to detail and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with BIOVIA Laboratory Execution software.

• Experience with other Laboratory Execution Systems (LES).

• Familiarity with CISPRO reagent management.

• Experience working in a laboratory, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or Quality Control environment.

• Understanding of laboratory assays, reagent preparation, or cell culture processes.

• Experience with software testing, automated testing tools, or UAT.
