Process Engineer Pharmaceuticals I Job Summary
Location: Research Triangle Park NC Duration: 234 Days Contract Bill Rate: $56.99/hr
Role Overview:
The Process Engineer Pharmaceuticals I is a laboratory-based contract position supporting hands-on manufacturing and process development activities for AAV gene therapy research and late-stage clinical programs. The role focuses on executing upstream and downstream bioprocess operations supporting experimental studies and ensuring data integrity and manufacturing readiness. This is an execution-driven role with no people management responsibilities ideal for those seeking direct involvement in laboratory and manufacturing environments.
Skills Required:
- BS or MS in Biotechnology Chemistry Biochemistry Chemical/Biochemical Engineering or similar
- Minimum 2 years (BS) or 0 years (MS) of relevant experience in lab research biologics manufacturing or process development
- Hands-on experience with upstream/downstream bioprocess operations
- Strong protocol adherence; ability to follow scheduled deliverables
- On-site work in a fast-paced laboratory setting
Skills Preferred:
- Exposure to cGMP environments or manufacturing-support labs
- Experience with scale-up/scale-down or process characterization experiments
- Familiarity with DOE concepts and JMP/statistical tools
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word Excel and PowerPoint
- Attention to detail and data accuracy
Key Responsibilities:
- Execute routine and defined rAAV manufacturing and laboratory tasks per established protocols and records
- Perform upstream and downstream operations (cell culture vector production purification)
- Support process development and experimental studies at small and pilot scales
- Document activities results and data in compliance with departmental SOPs and data integrity standards
- Assist with batch record completion data compilation and review
- Communicate progress and results to project stakeholders
- Support manufacturing investigations and troubleshooting including confirmatory experiments and data collection
