NAFTA trade agreement question

I recently got a job offer from a company in the US for a position of Research Assistant. I have a Bachelor of Science degree with a biology major from a renowned university. My question is, I know that NAFTA has Research Assistant as a legitimate profession but it specifies that it has to be at a Post Secondary Institution. My position is at a pharmaceutical company so I was wondering if that would hurt my chances in obtaining the TN status? Any genuine help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
