• Supporting execution and documentation of process characterization, scale-up, or troubleshooting studies
• Participating in deviation investigations and supporting root cause analysis
• Maintaining and organizing process monitoring databases and dashboards
• Collaborating with Manufacturing, QA, and Process Development teams to transfer knowledge and support batch readiness activities
• Contributing to continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., process robustness, yield improvement, or documentation efficiency)

We'd love to hear from you if

• You have 2+ years of related work experience in bioprocess development within a GMP manufacturing setting
• You have a BSc in Engineering (Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical, or Industrial) or Life Sciences (Biotech, Pharmaceutical Sciences) 
• You are strongly self-motivated and are able to identify project needs and follow that up with building and implementing solutions
• You have strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively as a member of cross-functional team
• You have excellent documentation and communication skills, as well as strong attention to detail
• You are able to learn new technologies and platforms quickly, accurately, and efficiently
• You are enthusiastic about applying your expertise to biopharmaceutical manufacturing; prior experience in a pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical manufacturing environment would be considered an asset
