Clinical Informatics jobs

Join our High-Throughput & Laboratory Automation CoE team in Slough to build a fully digital laboratory space by directly connecting cutting-edge scientific instruments and automation platforms to our laboratory data platform. This is a 5-day on-site role supporting critical R&D operations in a dynamic laboratory setting.

Fully site‑based roles

This is a fully site‑based role. Working together in person supports close, real‑time collaboration and the technical precision needed to manufacture medicines to the highest quality and safety standards.

What you will get:

• An agile career and dynamic working culture.

• An inclusive and ethical workplace.

• Competitive hourly rate.

Compensation for this role will be determined by the candidate’s qualifications, skills, experience, and relevant knowledge.

What you will do:

• Drive hands-on technical delivery to connect high-throughput lab instruments and automation platforms to target data systems.

• Collaborate with scientists, automation engineers, IT/OT teams, and external vendors to establish reliable digital interfaces.

• Assess priority lab equipment, map out data structures, and eliminate manual data entry steps across R&D labs.

• Configure practical connections using REST APIs, SQL, SFTP, file transfers (CSV/XML/JSON), or middleware solution patterns.

• Ensure automated capture of critical metadata including sample IDs, run IDs, method configurations, and timestamps.

• Test integrations end-to-end, resolve interface exceptions, and troubleshoot network, hardware, and software issues.

• Document technical specifications, reusable integration patterns, and data mapping protocols to support future scale-up.

What we are looking for:

• Proven hands-on experience in laboratory instrument connectivity, automation integration, or lab informatics (LIMS, ELN, SDMS).

• Strong technical background across hardware engineering, digital interfaces, networked instruments, and data architecture.

• Demonstrated expertise in integration methods including REST APIs, SQL, SFTP, middleware, or lab standards (e.g., SiLA 2, OPC-UA).

• Solid understanding of scientific data integrity principles (ALCOA+) and user access controls in a regulated laboratory environment.

• Pragmatic communication skills with the ability to translate vendor interface specifications into practical technical setups.

• Experience or familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or PowerShell is beneficial.
