Operator I needs no prior lab experience — we train you

As a Clinical Production Operator, you help make HPC, Marrow, a hematopoietic progenitor cell product recovered from the vertebral bodies of deceased organ donors. You will work inside an ISO 7 cleanroom, executing production activities according to standard operating procedures (SOPs) under cGMP, and documenting your work in real time. Every unit you handle is intended for a patient with a blood, immune, or orthopedic disease, and the batch record you sign is the proof it was made correctly.

This work rewards precision and repeatability over speed or improvisation.

Two things are worth knowing before you apply. First, the source material is human. Marrow is recovered from donated vertebral bodies, and every donation reflects a decision made by a family and is a gift we fully honor. Second, you will spend most of your shift fully gowned, over the head, face, hands, feet, and body, inside a cleanroom, with limited breaks.

Both are central to the job, and we would rather you know now than in your third week.

We are hiring at two levels, and you only need to apply once. Tell us about your experience and we will place you at the level that fits.

• Operator I: the entry point. No degree and no prior laboratory or cleanroom experience required. You will train into gowning, aseptic technique, and the HPC, Marrow process, working as an operator.
• Operator II: requires at least 2 years of aseptic manufacturing experience within the last five years. No degree is required for this role. Most of our Operator I employees reach this level at their one-year anniversary.

• High school diploma or GED. No college degree. No prior laboratory experience required for Operator I.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Strong organization and time management, and comfort when priorities shift as we scale toward commercial production

• Experience working in a cleanroom environment, research laboratory, cell therapy, tissue banking, blood banking, or a closely-related industry
• A track record of staying. We are looking for people who want to build a career on this team, not a stepping stone to somewhere else

Tasks include receipt of donor vertebral bodies, bone preparation and marrow recovery, aseptic processing, and completion of all documentation in real time - contemporaneously, so the batch record always reflects exactly what happened.
