Process Development Associate

Role: Process Development Associate supporting Amgen's biologics pipeline, focusing on late-stage clinical and commercial drug substance manufacturing processes. Responsibilities include designing and executing small-scale bioprocess experiments covering upstream cell culture and downstream purification, optimizing process yield and robustness, and scaling processes for manufacturing transfer. The role involves hands-on work with cell culture in shake flasks, culture bags, and bioreactors, and purification techniques like chromatography, filtration, and ultrafiltration/diafiltration. Additionally, responsibilities include automation programming, data analysis, technical reporting, and supporting technology transfer. Requirements: Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Biomedical, or related sciences; or an Associate's degree with 2+ years of scientific experience, or a high school diploma with 4+ years. Preferred skills encompass experience with mammalian cell culture, protein purification, process development, and familiarity with design of experiments and statistical data analysis. The position offers opportunities across multiple modalities, including antibodies, oncolytic viruses, and bi-specifics, in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. The role reports to a Process Development Principal Scientist, with no specified travel expectations. Location: not explicitly stated, but likely based in a biopharma R&D setting.
