** Key Responsibilities*
* +  
** Pilot Operations (Primary Focus):
** Execute and support  
** pilot-scale mammalian cell culture runs** , including bioreactor setup, operation, monitoring, sampling, and troubleshooting. Ensure safe, compliant, and efficient execution of pilot activities.

+  
** Scale-Up & Commercialization:
** Support  
** scale-up of cell culture processes from lab to pilot and manufacturing scale** , contributing to robust DS commercialization strategies.

+  
** Technical Execution:
** Assist with process characterization studies, process validation (PPQ-enabling work), and regulatory filing support.

+  
*
* Cross-Functional Collaboration:

** Partner with process development, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory teams to ensure seamless tech transfer and alignment.

+  
** Problem Solving:
** Troubleshoot  
** pilot equipment, bioreactor performance, and cell culture process deviations** .

+  
** Communication:
