Vacant job

Now is your chance to become part of a forward-thinking and rapidly growing Life Science company taking on the important task of increasing the understanding of human diseases. At Olink, you will work with groundbreaking technology and products that play a crucial role in the development of precision medicine. The company's technology, Proximity Extension Assay (PEA), enables the analysis of nearly 1500 biomarkers in minimal sample volumes, and this is just the beginning of what is possible. Here, you will be part of making a real difference within Life Science. We look forward to your application!

About the Role

Olink has grown explosively in recent years and has made an impact worldwide in a short time. Their groundbreaking products are used today by leading research institutes and pharmaceutical companies to drive the next major breakthrough in medicine. With headquarters and a service lab in both Uppsala and Boston, Olink is a truly global player in Life Science. Here, the technology is developed and used to provide new understanding of complex diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological diseases, research that can truly change people's lives.

In the role of Development Engineer, you will become part of the Lab Support Team within Research & Development. The team currently consists of nine people, including the manager, and is characterized by an open, supportive, and solution-oriented climate. Together, you are responsible for the R&D lab's infrastructure, everything from instruments and pipetting robots to raw materials, chemicals, and orders, and are available to support product development projects as needed.

Olink continues to develop its competence in raw material handling, focusing on streamlining and ensuring the quality of the raw materials used in R&D activities. The raw material group is already established, and you will become part of the team in its daily work and continued development. In this role, you will work operationally with the receipt, preparation, and handling of raw materials, following established methods and routines. You will contribute to ensuring that the right materials are in place at the right time and that the work maintains a high and consistent quality. The role involves largely structured and meticulous work with recurring tasks, while you gradually get the opportunity to learn more and take on greater responsibility. You will also gain insight into and eventually contribute to improvements in workflows, routines, and methods, as well as work with and develop your understanding of system support such as LIMS and other tools used in the business.

In other words, you will become an important part of the team contributing to stable, efficient, and quality-assured raw material handling within Olink's R&D, while you get good opportunities to develop in your role.

This is a consulting assignment, which means you will be employed by Academic Work and work as a consultant at Olink. The assignment will be full-time and is expected to last at least until the turn of the year. There may be an opportunity for extension, provided there is space for it and all parties are satisfied with the collaboration.

• You become part of an established group where you will learn structures, methods, and processes within raw material handling
• You get a good introduction and the opportunity to develop within process improvement and work in system support such as LIMS
