Job Title: Kit Assembler

Job Description

The Automated KIT Production department builds kits for clinical trials research, sample collection, and other human sample collection. Employees will be trained across four stations, starting with the 'Kit Cell', where they will stand for 12-hour shifts during the initial 2-3 weeks of training.
