The Scientist, Lentiviral Vector Downstream Process Development, will lead development, optimization, and characterization of scalable purification processes for cell therapy and CAR-T programs. This role will contribute to early- or clinical-stage process development, with emphasis on purification process strategy at varying scales and data-driven process understanding, platform knowledge and robustness, and optimization of downstream process technologies. This role will also support technology transfer to Johnson & Johnson’s manufacturing sites, commercial manufacturing investigations and provide subject matter expert knowledge as part of life cycle management for cell therapy products in Johnson & Johnson’s pipeline.

• Design and execute downstream process development studies for lentiviral therapeutic products under scientific guidance
• Conduct purification experiments including chromatography, filtration, UF/DF, and formulation, and automated high-throughput systems
• Contribute todevelopmentof lentiviral processes to continuously improve productivity, quality, and manufacturability.
• Oversee operation and management of downstream equipment, including AKTA systems, TFF systems, and purification skids.
• Perform technology transfer to and collaborate with Johnson & Johnson’s manufacturing sites
• Support existing and new commercial manufacturing investigations and provide subject matter expert knowledge as part of product life cycle management
• Apply statistical experimental design, data analytics, and online monitoring and visualization tools to strengthen downstream process understanding.
• Analyse and interpret process data using JMP,Mini Tab, Python, Spotfire, or similar platforms.
• Evaluate emerging novel downstream technologies that improve process robustness and development efficiency.
• Collaborate closely with upstream, analytical, formulation,…
