Production Engineer
Be part of a growing team in Uppsala, working with production, QC and logistics. This role offers established workflows, clear expectations and the chance to contribute to reliable deliveries.
Rarity Bioscience is a fast-growing life science company based in Uppsala, developing cutting-edge molecular tools to accelerate cancer research and improve patient outcomes. Here, you will be part of an innovative and collaborative environment where your work contributes directly to advancing healthcare.
About the role
The role of Production Engineer is broad, spanning production, quality control and supply chain activities. You will manufacture our “off-the-shelf” kits, which in our case refers to lab-based production with small-volume handling. For materials not produced directly by you, you will contribute to routine quality control (QC) testing to ensure the highest standards of product quality.
We are a small company and therefore all of us have diverse responsibilities to ensure smooth operations; from raw material handling to finished product in the hands of our customers world-wide.
At Rarity, you will find dedicated, performance-oriented colleagues, a culture that values openness, respect, and diversity, and the chance to make a difference in a pioneering setting.
Key Responsibilities:
- Carry out production of our standard kits according to validated procedures and documentation.
- Perform routine QC testing following established protocols.
- Handle logistics including inventory management, order fulfilment, and shipments to customers.
- Accurately document production, QC activities, and logistics workflows.
The role is based in our office in Uppsala Science Park. Our operations adhere to the ISO 13485 quality management system for medical devices.
Your Profile
We believe you thrive in a practical, hands-on role and enjoy working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. You have a background in life science, from studies and direct lab experience. Most importantly, you love working at the bench!
You are structured and detail-oriented, with a strong ability to follow established protocols and ensure accuracy in your work. At the same time, you bring flexibility and a collaborative mindset, developing in a small and growing organization where responsibilities often span across multiple areas.
Skills & Qualifications:
- Education in life science, biotechnology, or a related technical field or equivalent hands-on experience (e.g. Laboratory Technician, Biomedical Laboratory Scientist, BSc degree in relevant area, or equivalent).
- Experience from a lab-based role in a regulated environment (e.g. clinical analysis, QC, lab-based manufacturing).
- A structured and detail-oriented way of working and documentation.
- A flexible and collaborative mindset, comfortable working across different areas in a small and dynamic organization.
- Good communication skills in English. Swedish knowledge is beneficial.
