Scientist, Biologics Production

Role Summary

Scientist, Biologics Production. Join a dynamic team revolutionizing biologics production with a high-throughput, automation-first approach to deliver complex biologics—IgGs and multispecifics—faster and at scale. You will work within an integrated team spanning mammalian expression, purification, and analytics to compress DNA-to-material timelines for discovery programs and technology development.

Responsibilities

• Aid and execute in improving the sequence-to-material pipeline: transient CHO/HEK expression, purification, and QC assessment of IgGs, VHH (+/- Fc), and multispecifics using high-throughput workflows.
• Predictive analytical QC routes to inform purification groups and meet therapy area demand for decision-quality materials and technology development initiatives.

Purification Automation, Analytics & Digital Operations

• Automated liquid-handling workflows in relation to biologics purification (monospecific and multispecific) and analytical stations (SEC-HPLC or UPLC, CE-SDS).
• Embed data integrity and compliance across workflows via Genedata Biologics, eLN, and Smartsheet governance and training.
• Maintain in-process controls and release-for-use criteria in partnership with Analytics and Developability, including SEC, CE-SDS, Endotoxin, and HCP.

Cross-Functional Impact

• Partner closely with Protein Engineering and Novel Modalities (PENM), Assays/Profiling and Pharmacology (APP), and PS&A Analytics and Developability, and collaborate with BPD Purification Process Sciences for scale-up readiness.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Biochemistry, Bio/Chemical Engineering, or closely related field.
• 2-4 or more years in biologics production and purification in biotech or pharma.
• Experience in mammalian expression and purification/QC (transient CHO or HEK-derived).
• Digital and compliance acumen with Genedata Biologics and eLN or Smartsheet-based governance.

Desirable Skills/Experience

• Hands-on experience in industry setting with Hamilton liquid-handling platforms for protein purification and normalization.
• Coordination and planning of liquid handler usage and routine operation.
• Experience with Unchained Labs instruments for UV/Vis as well as sample data management and transfer into liquid handling platforms.
• Programming knowledge is a plus for this position.
