Process Development Associate - Pilot Scale Purification Development (PMPD)

Location:

New York, NY

Regeneron's Preclinical Manufacturing & Process Development Group (PMPD) is seeking a Process Development Associate as a full‑time position to work in the Purification Development group. In this role, you will be responsible for the purification at pilot scale of a variety of clinical biologics, building systems to support the planning and execution of pilot scale work, and investigating technologies to support the scalability of pilot scale operations.

The ideal candidate will be hardworking, efficient, flexible, and able to perform key responsibilities in a fast‑paced, team environment. This is a lab‑based role focused on pilot scale operations, requiring a significant amount of physical activity.

• An associate or engineer who is experienced in the general operations of a laboratory and/or functional area. Begins to manage and organize data more independently – has some decision‑making capability and works under supervision (daily or near daily). Participates effectively as a member of a "team" within his/her laboratory or functional area. Communicates with all levels of the organization. Executes experiments alone and/or in collaboration alone with others.
  
  Performs routine technical tasks, begins to manage, organize, and interpret data more independently, and presents results to his/her supervisor. Receives general instruction for routine work; more detailed instruction is provided for new projects. The ability to design experiments with proper controls.
• Executes experiments/projects using established procedures. Performs basic data entry and analysis alone or in collaboration with others and recognizes unexpected results. Understands scientific method and experimental controls and works to perfect technique on the basics. Scientifically curious, enthusiastic, and proactively asks questions to learn or seek clarification.
• Reads and understands scientific literature and technical documentation. Executes experimental plans to verify literature findings with direction and prepares comparison of internal data to literature for review with manager.
• Trains and becomes proficient in operations of job‑relevant laboratory instrumentation and data systems. May have a role in knowledge/data management and be responsible for maintenance and service of lab/data resources. May assist in training new staff after demonstrating competency.
• Will support technology development and improvement initiatives.
• May contribute to development of technology and automation to increase the throughput and speed of pilot scale operations.
• Builds relationships within subgroup to support shared goals and may train peers and indirectly lead, guide, and assist co‑op students/interns. Proactively assists others in execution of experiments and knows when to ask for help from peers.

• Enjoy a fast‑paced pilot scale laboratory setting where sound science and teamwork are the priorities.
• Contribute to lab equipment maintenance and safety to help create a safe, effective and efficient working environment.
• Anticipate and recognize potential problems with laboratory supplies/equipment and act to prevent and tackle problems.
• Can ensure training and/or compliance responsibilities are maintained.
• Has experience in small to large‑scale manufacturing.

The role requires a Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in either Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, or Biochemistry, and 1 – 5+ years’ experience in the biotech or pharmaceutical industry. A strong fundamental understanding of various protein purification techniques is a plus. Experience with Downstream Development and equipment such as Tangential Flow Filters, Normal Flow Filters, Ultrafiltration/Diafiltration skids, Akta chromatography systems, disc stack centrifuge, depth filtration, chromatographic columns, HPLC, UPLC, Empower, Unicorn, JMP, LIMS, PI Historian is a plus.

Experience with Raman spectroscopy and/or software programming is a plus.
