• Proven experience in solution development and workflow integration for omics applications.
• Strong understanding of metabolomics, proteomics, biopharmaceutical analysis, and testing methods in food and environmental safety.
• Excellent project management skills — ability to plan, execute, and deliver complex projects across multiple teams.
• Strong English communication skills (both written and verbal); able to collaborate in an international environment.
• Hands-on experience with Thermo Fisher software platforms such as Xcalibur, TraceFinder, Compound Discoverer, and Skyline is a plus.
Preferred Attribute s
• Demonstrated leadership in cross-functional collaboration and technical innovation.
• Strategic mindset with the ability to translate customer requirements into actionable technical solutions.
• Familiarity with global LSMS market trends and emerging omics technologies.
