Responsibilities:

• CQV resources supporting an NPD large-cap project modifying existing equipment and processes for future methods in an existing large-scale cell culture facility.
• Focus on process equipment on the floor, walking systems down, and executing qualifications and related documentation.
• All validation documentation and execution in Val Genesis (e-validation platform), including one documentation-focused resource.

• Strong CQV experience with process equipment; able to work independently, set their own pace and goals, and still maintain team structure on second shift.

• Wet testing.
• SIP/CIP cycle development for flow paths in coordination with manufacturing engineering.
• Post-IQ/OQ activities:
• Steam-in-place temperature mapping.
• BI (biological indicator) training and retrieval.
• Pulling process data and working with QC lab reports.
• Generating, executing, and reporting on validation documentation in Val Genesis.
• Experience / comfort working with:
• Large-scale cell culture (20kL bioreactor; batches 8–16kL).
• Downstream equipment: harvest clarification, viral filtration, ultrafiltration, buffer transfer, tank farms, chromatography.
