Senior Scientist, High-Throughput Biologics Production and Discovery Platforms

Role: Senior Scientist leading high-throughput biologics production within Discovery Biotherapeutics, focusing on antibody and multispecific molecule workflows. Responsibilities: design, optimize, and operate scalable protein expression, purification, and quality-control processes supporting multiple discovery programs; oversee automation, liquid handling, and analytical instrumentation; develop workflows to support 60+ plates weekly; collaborate with cross-functional teams to align production with project priorities; lead troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and staff mentoring. Requirements: Bachelor's degree with 7+ years, Master's with 5+ years, or Ph.D. with 2+ years in bioengineering, biochemistry, or related field; extensive hands-on experience with transient mammalian expression (HEK293, CHO), protein purification, automation platforms, and analytical methods; proven success managing large-scale, high-throughput operations; strong leadership, project management, and collaboration skills. Preferred: automation scripting experience (e.g., Hamilton, Tecan), programming in Python/R, familiarity with lab automation orchestration software, and exposure to machine learning-guided discovery. High-Value: biologics discovery, antibody/multispecifics, mammalian expression systems, large-scale plate-based workflows, automation, and data-integrated platform development. Work Setup: not specified.
