Applications Engineering Supervisor

Applications Engineering Supervisor – Bioprocessing

This organization is a recognized leader in bioprocessing solutions, supporting some of the most innovative work happening in cell and gene therapy and sterile manufacturing today. They've built their reputation on delivering high-quality, compliant solutions in environments where precision matters and failure isn't an option. It's a business that sits close to the science, working alongside customers to solve complex challenges, not just supply products.

What makes them stand out is how they operate internally. Engineering is highly respected, collaboration across teams is real, and there's a strong investment in developing both technical and leadership talent. The company has grown steadily by doing things the right way, with a focus on long-term partnerships, not short-term wins. For someone coming from bioprocessing, it's an environment where your work is understood, valued, and directly tied to meaningful outcomes in the industry.

The Applications Engineering group is strong technically, but at capacity. This role was created to bring structure, improve execution, and help the team scale without breaking. You'll lead a group working on real, customer-driven bioprocessing projects where timelines are tight, expectations are high, and your leadership directly impacts delivery.

You're not just managing people. You're building a better system.

Why this role stands out:

• Real ownership, not middle management – You'll define how work gets done, not just oversee it
• High visibility – Work directly with leadership, sales, and customers on meaningful projects
• Strong team already in place – Technically sharp engineers who need direction, not hand-holding
• Growth built in – Team expansion is planned, and you'll play a key role in hiring and shaping it
• Customer-facing impact – You'll help guide solutions, not just review them after the fact

What you'll actually be doing:

• Lead and develop a team of 6 Applications Engineers across varying experience levels
• Own project flow, priorities, and execution across fast-paced, ~30-day timelines
• Act as a technical sounding board during customer conversations and solution development
• Partner closely with sales, manufacturing, and supply chain to keep projects moving
• Bring structure to a team that's ready for its next level of performance

If you've built your career in bioprocessing or biopharma and you're at the point where you want to lead, influence, and have a real say in how things run, this is that step.
