Job Summary

Biologics Process Research & Development (BPR&D) in our company’s Research Laboratories is on a mission to rapidly deliver biotherapeutics to patients by efficiently developing innovative, robust manufacturing processes and technologies. We work closely with colleagues in Discovery, Pre‑clinical, Early Development, Analytical, Formulation, and Commercial Manufacturing while providing an inclusive environment for all. This role focuses on process development for pipeline biologics and innovation in next‑generation biomanufacturing technologies.

• Develop innovative and disruptive technologies for next‑generation biologics manufacturing processes.
• Develop and characterize robust clinical processes capable of delivering multi‑kilogram quantities of therapeutics.
• Design and conduct experiments related to cell‑line development, upstream or downstream bioprocessing.
• Integrate unit operations with relevant process control and monitoring platforms.
• Collaborate across BPR&D, process analytics, and other functional areas in research and manufacturing to advance the biologics pipeline.
• Conduct laboratory- and/or pilot‑scale studies to support scale‑up and technology transfer to manufacturing sites.
• Contribute to a safe and compliant laboratory work environment.

Bachelor’s Degree with 2+ years of relevant experience or a master’s degree in Chemical/Biochemical/Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, or related fields with a research background in molecular biology, cell culture or protein purification.

• Experience with one or more of molecular biology, protein expression, mammalian cell culture, protein purification, biochemical engineering, or analytical technologies.
• Scientific understanding of the engineering principles behind recombinant protein production and purification.
• Ability to comprehend and execute experiments independently.
• Ability to organize, communicate, analyze, and present experimental data to drive conclusions and further study designs.
• Knowledge of aseptic technique, protein biophysical properties, and general protein laboratory practices.
• Demonstrated ability to independently prepare technical documents and scientific presentations to capture development progress, scientific investigations, and technology development output.
• Basic understanding of statistical methods and data analysis tools.
• Strong passion and commitment to integrate science and innovation into biologic process development.
• Ability to excel in a collaborative and matrix environment.

• Demonstrated capabilities in understanding and operating bioanalytical techniques to characterize microbial or cell culture processes.
• Ability to think critically with excellent problem‑solving and troubleshooting skills.
• High‑throughput screening, automated bioreactor systems, and liquid handlers.
• Experience with process transfer to clinical or commercial manufacturing facilities.
• Knowledge of process control and workflow automation tools.
• Strong foundation in statistical analysis, design of experiments, data science, computational modeling.
