Process Engineer

Job Title:

Process Engineer

Job Description

This Process Engineer role focuses on translating complex drug substance process requirements into practical equipment functionality and automation solutions within large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. The position provides technical leadership across process, automation, and commissioning activities, with a strong emphasis on downstream purification and integration into automated control systems such as Delta

V. The engineer will operate as an independent contributor, serving as a subject matter expert for downstream purification process engineering in a post-design, execution-phase environment.

Responsibilities

+ Translate detailed process requirements into equipment functionality and automation specifications for drug substance manufacturing operations.

+ Interpret process needs and verify alignment with already designed and issued-for-construction (IFC) equipment systems.

+ Provide engineering guidance and leadership to automation and commissioning teams throughout project execution.

+ Partner closely with Delta

V and automation engineers to ensure process intent is accurately implemented within control systems.

+ Support the integration of purification processes into automated manufacturing environments, with a focus on downstream operations.

+ Serve as a technical subject matter expert for downstream purification process engineering, offering hands-on support and troubleshooting.

+ Collaborate cross-functionally with process, automation, and commissioning teams to ensure seamless project execution.

+ Participate in post-design and execution-phase activities, ensuring that built or IFC'd equipment and automation systems meet process and operational requirements.

+ Communicate effectively with engineering, automation, and operations stakeholders to align expectations and resolve technical issues.

+ Contribute to continuous improvement of process, equipment, and automation interfaces in a large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing setting.

Essential Skills

+ Strong drug substance process engineering experience, with a focus on large-scale manufacturing operations.

+ Hands-on experience with purification processes, particularly downstream purification.

+ Proven ability to translate process requirements into equipment and automation solutions.

+ Experience working in post-design and execution-phase environments where equipment is already built or issued for construction (IFC).

+ Experience working with or alongside Delta

V design and automation resources.

+ Experience supporting automation integration and commissioning activities.

+ Experience working in GMP pharmaceutical or biotechnology environments.

+ Ability to work as an independent contributor with minimal oversight.

+ Strong communication skills with the ability to interface effectively across engineering, automation, and operations teams.

+ Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, or a related engineering field.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

+ Delta

V experience strongly preferred, including collaboration with control system design and implementation teams.

+ Familiarity with large-scale biologics or drug substance manufacturing operations.

+ Demonstrated ability to operate in a post-design execution environment and adapt to existing equipment and automation configurations.

+ Experience working on long-term, large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing projects.

+ Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with process, automation, and commissioning stakeholders.

Work Environment

The role is based in a post-design, execution-phase environment, supporting a large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing project. The Process Engineer will work as an individual contributor, collaborating closely with process, automation, and commissioning teams in a highly technical, GMP-regulated setting. The environment involves integration of purification processes into automated manufacturing systems, including Delta

V-based control platforms, with a focus on ensuring that existing equipment and IFC'd systems meet process and operational requirements.
