Device Assembly and Packaging Engineer

The Technical Services and Manufacturing Sciences (TSMS) Device Assembly and Packaging Engineer will be responsible for supporting device assembly and packaging development across all facets of Tech transfer, Process Validation, GMP Floor Support, and Continued Process Verification in accordance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) for clinical and commercial programs. This role will provide technical support for secondary manufacturing operations to ensure robust and reliable packaging and device assembly processes are established and executed.

This position will support the delivery of technical guidance and assistance throughout packaging and device assembly processes. The primary objective is to assist with establishing secondary manufacturing processes for autoinjectors and complex packaging systems that consistently deliver high-quality combination products from clinical through commercial manufacturing.

There is a growing need globally for more CDMOs (contract development and manufacturing organization) in the pharmaceutical industry to provide comprehensive services from drug development through drug manufacturing.

At INCOG, they are more than just a CDMO. A better way to create more meaningful experiences. A better way to create a culture that everyone can thrive and succeed in. At their core, that is who they are—a dedicated team that believes they can always be better.

Join the team at INCOG, a world-class CDMO for parenteral injectable drugs, shaping a new future for patients, for yourself, and for INCOG’s clients.

• Execute early packaging (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and/or device assembly development activities in a cross‑functional team.
• Meet with client team to understand packaging requirements and develop technical documentation such as Technical Transfer Plan, Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Gap Assessment, Summary Reports and Process FMEA.
• A solid understanding of combination devices (auto injectors), packaging materials and manufacturing processes and experience in global packaging standards for pharmaceutical drug products, parenteral container‑closure systems, and combination products is required.
• Assists technical troubleshooting and investigations of packaging issues to support root cause analysis, product impact assessment and effective corrective and preventive actions.
• Provide technical expertise for developing packaging/labeling material selection, qualification, and process implementation for new product programs.
• Represents TSMS in project teams and communicates directly with customers. Recognized as Subject Matter Expert for the device assembly and packaging processes.
• Help authoring GMP manufacturing documentation including Master Batch Records, Bill of Materials and Processing Forms.
• Monitor Process Data, identify trends and propose actions as necessary.
