  • Coordinate with Commercial team to transfer upstream processes to external manufacturing partners
  • Develop and optimize cell line characterization workflows, screening assays, and product quality assessment methods
  • Collaborate with Cell Line Development teams on clone screening studies using bioreactor systems
  • Author and review process development reports, protocols, and communicate progress across cross-functional projects

Requirements

  • Bachelor's in biological engineering, chemical engineering, cell biology, or related field with 6-8 years viral vector process experience; or Master's with 3-4 years; or PhD with 0-2 years
  • Hands-on mammalian cell culture and aseptic technique expertise, particularly HEK293-based viral vector development
  • Demonstrated experience with Ambr15, Ambr250, and benchtop-scale bioreactor processes for viral vectors
  • Proficiency with spreadsheet tools (Excel, Google Sheets) and data analysis software (Spotfire, Google Apps Script, BigQuery)
  • Experience with design of experiments (DOE) software and electronic laboratory notebooks
  • Analytical development and downstream purification experience preferred; cell line development or technology transfer experience desirable
