Apprentice Electrical & Instrumentation Technician

Bio Marin is the world leader in delivering therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with serious and life‑threatening rare genetic diseases. We target diseases that lack effective therapies and affect relatively small numbers of patients, many of whom are children. These conditions are often inherited, difficult to diagnose, progressively debilitating and have few, if any, treatment options. Bio Marin will continue to focus on advancing therapies that are the first or best of their kind.
