Job Description and Duties

In July 2025, the State of California implemented the Personal Leave Program (PLP) 2025. This program temporarily reduces employees’ monthly base pay in exchange for paid leave credits. This position is subject to PLP 2025 and will have a monthly base pay reduction of 3% in exchange for 5 hours of leave credits through June 2027. The salary ranges shown on this job posting do not reflect the salary reduction.

This position supports the California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) mission and strategic plan by developing protocols and overseeing the integration of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) test orders and results with the Screening Information System (SIS) 2.0 database. This position plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of test order processing for the California Prenatal Screening (PNS) Program. Moreover, this position works with contracted cfDNA laboratories to develop and implement contract requirements during routine prenatal case management and when the PNS Program adds new conditions to the state PNS regulations. This role requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels. The HPS I works closely with internal teams, contractors, and external partners to ensure the successful execution of data transmission and cfDNA laboratory screening for the PNS Program.

This position may be eligible for telework. The amount of telework permitted is at the discretion of the Department and is subject to change, consistent with CDPH’s Telework Program. All employees who telework are required to be California residents in accordance with Government Code 14200. Candidates who reside outside of the state of California may be interviewed; however, the selected candidate must have a primary residency in the state of California prior to appointment (and continue to maintain California residency) as a condition of employment. Failure to meet this requirement may result in the job offer being rescinded.

Travel may be required for this position. Reimbursement for travel takes into consideration an employee’s designated headquarters, as reflected in the duty statement, and is subject to regulations and bargaining unit contract provisions. All commute expenses to the designated headquarters office will be the responsibility of the selected candidate.
