Back to jobsPerform hands-on downstream processing (DSP) process research at lab scale to support commercially-scalable product and process definition and development.
Conduct hands-on DSP development in our Pilot Plant to deliver robust and scalable processes for the recovery of products of interest from microbial fermentation broth.
Transfer processes to commercial scale at manufacturing facilities, and support optimization of commercial scale production.
Actively support cross functional projects in a project lead, direct technical contributor or advisory role involving stakeholders across different sites.
Work within a team framework with both individual responsibility and proactive support of other colleagues. Interact productively with R&D, Pilot Plant, Facilities and Manufacturing Groups across our global organization.
Utilize theoretical unit operations principles to support experimental design. Perform mass and energy balances to support process design, optimization and experimentation.
Develop analytical methods required for process monitoring and product characterization; hands-on skills with instrumental analysis and wet chemistry.
Generate experimental and prototype samples to support application and business development.
Conduct process and/or equipment testing at Manufacturing sites and equipment vendor facilities.
Maintain accurate documentation in laboratory notebook and/or batch records. Interpret and present experimental data to provide guidance for projects and process development.
Author or review technical reports, technology transfer documents, SOPs, and invention disclosures.
Plan and coordinate external development projects with contract labs and vendors as needed.
Demonstrate strong commitment to safety, quality, and accountability.
Train, mentor and potentially manage junior personnel
