Instrument Data Integration Specialist

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are seeking professionals with a deep understanding of laboratory instruments, the data they produce across techniques & how that data is used in scientific analysis, for a unique opportunity to develop standard instrument data models that helps drive the industry towards FAIR data standards, while supporting turn key integration across the Benchling platform.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Instrument Data Harmonization

• Convert instrument outputs into standardized data models to streamline downstream analysis and ensure consistent instrument measurements.
• Work with the Allotrope Simple Model (ASM), a JSON based standard.

Allotrope Data Model Development

• Collect, evaluate, and compare instrument data output files, to determine what is ‘standard’ across instruments in a given instrument category.
• Gather, review, and assess existing Allotrope simple model (ASM) specifications.
• Map standard instrument output data from files to the Allotrope simple model (ASM) to determine opportunities for standard model extensions
• Evaluate Allotrope data model structure to determine how & where to add fields to the ASM, to make it easy for scientific analysis.
• Participate with the Allotrope models working group and submit draft proposals for new ASMs or revisions.

Software Integration Requirements

• Define requirements for input instructions to be sent from Benchling to software that controls instruments
• Define requirements for ingesting instrument results data from software that controls instruments, in addition to how that data is standardized to the Allotrope data model
• Define end to end scientific workflows related to the experiment & techniques the instrument & software is used for.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Subject matter expertise in one or several instrument categories required (See below)
• Experience integrating one or more of software systems that manage instrument data listed below with LIMS, electronic notebook or other downstream systems
• Data modeling experience, especially in the realm of bio-tech.
• Familiarity with JSON concepts.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, requirements definition and communication skills.
