Lab Technician

Lumen Bioworks is hiring a Lab Technician to join our Cambridge team.

About Lumen Bioworks

Lumen Bioworks is a family-owned biotech and research engineering business based in Cambridge. Founded in 2019, we run 3 locations in Cambridge and employ a tight team that values doing the work well over scale.

About the role

You'll prepare and process samples, run routine tests on lab instruments, and record results accurately in the laboratory information system. You'll calibrate and maintain equipment, prepare reagents and media, follow standard operating procedures exactly, and flag out-of-range or unusual results to the supervisor. You'll also keep the bench clean and stocked, manage sample intake and labelling, and support quality control checks and audits.

What you will bring

You bring a laboratory science education, precise technique, and respect for procedure: in a lab, shortcuts show up as bad data. You keep tidy records, work carefully under daily throughput targets, and take quality control personally.

Apply today and we will be in touch. Eligibility for US work authorisation is required at offer stage.
