This is a bench-level, production-focused role in a CLIA-certified, high-complexity toxicology laboratory. You'll perform immunoassay screening and LC-MS/MS confirmatory testing on drugs of abuse, pain management, and therapeutic drug monitoring panels. We're looking for someone who takes quality control seriously, can troubleshoot without losing momentum, and is ready to contribute in a specialized environment where your experience is put to real use.

Responsibilities:

• Full-cycle clinical toxicology testing — immunoassay screening and LC-MS/MS confirmatory analysis for drugs of abuse (DOA), pain management, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) panels
• Specimen preparation for urine and oral fluid samples per established SOPs (dilute-and-shoot, aliquoting, filtration, and related techniques)
• Batch setup, loading, and processing on triple quadrupole mass spectrometry and chemistry analyzer platforms
• Instrument operation, calibration, and routine/preventive maintenance — including Agilent 6460 triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS and Beckman Coulter AU 480/680 (experience on these platforms is a strong plus)
• Data review — evaluating calibration curves, QC data, and patient results for accuracy and acceptability prior to release
• Identification and resolution of anomalies, interferences, QC failures, and out-of-range results; initiating reruns and corrective actions
• Reagent, calibrator, control, and standard solution preparation per laboratory procedures
• Accurate and complete documentation: instrument logs, maintenance records, QC charts, and batch records
• Inventory monitoring and proactive communication of reorder needs
• Participation in QA activities, proficiency testing, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Support for method validation and verification activities as directed
• Collaboration with team members and supervisors on assay, workflow, and instrumentation troubleshooting

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science, clinical laboratory science, chemistry, biology, or a closely related field — OR — an Associate degree in laboratory science or medical laboratory technology from an accredited institution (with 6 credits chemistry, 6 credits biology, and 12 additional credits in either)
• At least 1 year of hands-on experience performing high-complexity clinical toxicology testing in a CLIA-certified laboratory (drugs of abuse, pain management panels, or TDM)
• Hands-on LC-MS/MS experience in a clinical or regulated laboratory environment
• Documented clinical lab training or equivalent experience per CLIA §493.1489
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and analytical thinking
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel
• Ability to pass a post-offer drug screen — required for all personnel working in a federally regulated drug testing laboratory per applicable CLIA and federal guidelines

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience on Agilent 6460 triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS and/or Beckman Coulter AU 480/680 or equivalent chemistry analyzer platforms
• Proficiency with Agilent MassHunter or comparable mass spectrometry data analysis software
• Experience with sample preparation techniques for LC-MS/MS (dilute-and-shoot, solid-phase extraction, liquid-liquid extraction)
• ASCP MLS(ASCP) or AMT MT certification
• Strong working knowledge of CLIA regulations, CAP standards, and QC practices
• Experience with laboratory information systems (LIS) and electronic result reporting
• Familiarity with batch processing and high-throughput sample workflows in a clinical toxicology setting
