Job Description
Process engineers support API and natural products projects through all phases of late-stage development, commercialization, and product life cycle. This position is responsible for assessing key unit operations (e.g., reactions, crystallizations) for process robustness, scientific understanding, and potential scale-up risks from the lab to a manufacturing environment. Effective cross-functional interactions with other functions (e.g., technical, quality, regulatory) and on-site manufacturing personnel are key for successful job performance.

Purpose:
Develop scalable and robust engineering processes for key modalities (e.g., small molecule APIs, antibody drug conjugates, peptides, and natural products). Demonstrate technical expertise and strong communication skills in a multidisciplinary environment. Investigate, identify, develop, and optimize new methods and techniques. Develop productive collaborations and communications with other groups across scientific disciplines.

Responsibilities

• Leverage core chemical engineering principles (chemical kinetics, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, mathematical modeling) in experimental design, thought process in problem-solving, and data analysis.
• Routinely demonstrate scientific initiative and creativity in research or development activities.
• Maintain autonomous and productive performance in lab experimentation, pilot plant, and/or manufacturing support space, requiring only minimal direction from or interaction with supervisor.
• Formulate conclusions and design follow-on experiments based on multidisciplinary data.
• Pursue areas of investigation that are scientifically impactful to development or commercial programs. Effective investigation and troubleshooting of product failures and propose recommendations for remediation.
• Author publications, presentations, technical reports, regulatory documents, and/or patents.
• Demonstrate high proficiency across a wide range of relevant technologies.
• Understand and adhere to corporate standards regarding code of conduct, safety, appropriate handling of materials, controlled drug and radioactive compounds, and GxP compliance.
• Be a subject matter expert to other functions within the project team. Direct mentorship of other engineers on project teams.

Qualifications

• BS, MS, or PhD in chemical engineering or a related field and 10+ (BS), 8+ (MS), or 0+ (PhD) years of relevant industrial experience.
• Possess thorough theoretical and practical understanding of own scientific discipline.
• Possess excellent written and oral communication skills.

Key Leadership

Competencies:

• Builds strong relationships with peers and cross-functionally with partners outside of team.
• Learns fast, understands key objectives, and can change course quickly where indicated.
• Raises the bar and is never satisfied with the status quo.
• Creates a learning environment, open to suggestions and experimentation for improvement.
• Embraces the ideas of others, nurtures innovation.
• Demonstrates excellent technical and personal mentorship of others.
