Job Title: Quality Assurance Analyst (Laboratory QA/QC & LIMS)

Location: 550 W 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202

Work Arrangement: 100% Onsite – In Person Only

Job Summary

Client is seeking a Quality Assurance Analyst to support laboratory quality systems, analytical data review, compliance validation, and implementation of a new Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

This role is ideal for candidates with experience in analytical laboratories, environmental laboratories, chemistry laboratories, or regulated testing environments who have worked with quality assurance documentation, quality control processes, analytical data review, method validation, and laboratory compliance activities.

You will work directly with laboratory personnel and technical teams to review chemistry data packages, validate analytical processes, verify traceability of laboratory data, assess quality systems, and support regulatory reporting requirements. The position also supports spreadsheet validation, SOP review activities, and emerging AI-driven quality validation initiatives.

This is not a software QA or software testing position. Candidates should have hands-on experience supporting laboratory quality programs, analytical testing environments, chemistry operations, or regulated laboratory compliance functions.

Key Responsibilities

• Review analytical chemistry data packages for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with established quality standards.
• Validate quality assurance and quality control documentation supporting laboratory operations.
• Collaborate with developers and laboratory personnel to ensure quality requirements are properly incorporated into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
• Verify traceability, validation, and integrity of laboratory data within electronic systems.
• Review analytical methods and identify deviations from approved procedures and published methodologies.
• Evaluate laboratory quality systems and recommend corrective actions when deficiencies are identified.
• Review and validate Excel spreadsheets used for analytical calculations and reporting.
• Assess chemical inventory tracking processes and supporting documentation.
• Conduct reviews of annual competency assessments for laboratory staff and analytical methods.
• Create, revise, and maintain quality standards, procedures, and supporting documentation.
• Review reports, policies, procedures, and program outputs for accuracy and compliance.
• Identify process improvement opportunities and recommend enhancements to quality systems.
• Support validation activities involving AI-assisted spreadsheet and SOP review processes.
• Assist with regulatory compliance efforts supporting environmental and public health programs.

Required Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience in a Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Laboratory QA/QC, Analytical Laboratory, Environmental Laboratory, or Chemistry Laboratory environment.
• Experience reviewing quality assurance and quality control documentation.
• Experience performing analytical data review, validation, or compliance verification activities.
• Understanding of laboratory quality systems, traceability requirements, and documentation standards.
• Experience working with Excel for validation, calculations, or quality review activities.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow established laboratory procedures and quality standards.
• Ability to document findings and communicate recommendations effectively.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS).
• Experience supporting EPA, FDA, environmental, public health, or regulated laboratory programs.
• Experience reviewing analytical methods, SOPs, or laboratory procedures.
• Experience supporting laboratory audits, corrective actions, or compliance reviews.
• Exposure to AI-based quality validation initiatives or process improvement projects.

Pay: $22.00 - $25.00 per hour

Application Question(s):

• Describe your experience reviewing analytical laboratory data packages, quality control records, or laboratory test results. What types of analyses or programs were involved?
• Tell us about a time you identified a quality issue, documentation discrepancy, or compliance concern during a laboratory review. What actions did you take?
• What laboratory quality systems, regulatory standards, or quality assurance processes have you worked with, and how were they applied in your day-to-day responsibilities?
• Describe your experience validating spreadsheets, reviewing analytical calculations, or verifying laboratory data accuracy. What tools and processes did you use?
