Clinical Laboratory Technologist

Role Purpose

You're the person who makes sure the results are right — every specimen, every run, every day. Not most of the time. Every time.

As a Laboratory Technologist at Neko, you'll run moderate-complexity testing in our New York clinic lab, keep the instruments healthy, and hold the line on quality and compliance.

The work is technical and repetitive — and the difference between a good lab tech and a great one shows up in how you handle the 500th specimen of the month exactly the way you handled the first.

What You'll Deliver In The First 6–12 Months

• Perform moderate-complexity clinical laboratory testing in line with approved SOPs and applicable regulations (CLIA, CAP, New York State).
• Prepare, process, analyze, and verify patient specimens and results with accurate documentation, full traceability, and timely escalation when something looks off.
• Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot lab instrumentation — including daily, weekly, and monthly operational checks, QC activities, and reagent management.
• Review QC data, spot trends and deviations early, and escalate quality risks before they become problems.
• Hold the lab to inspection-ready standards at all times — SOPs followed, safety protocols upheld, documentation clean.
• Participate in proficiency testing, audits, inspections, and continuous quality improvement work.
• Partner with clinical, operations, and technical teams to keep lab workflows efficient and reliable.
• Share knowledge with peers and help newer team members get up to speed, without formal supervisory responsibility.

Minimum Requirements

• 2+ years of clinical laboratory experience in a moderate- or high-complexity clinical lab setting.
• Active New York State Clinical Laboratory Technologist license (generalist).
• Hands-on experience performing clinical chemistry and immunology testing.
• Preferred ASCP certification.
• Experience with the Abbott Alinity system.
