What are the responsibilities and job description for the Future Opportunities, Join our Talent Community for Senior Scientist I, R&D Process Engineering position at BioSpace?
Job Description
Process Engineering, a part of AbbVie R&Ds Development Sciences organization, is responsible for designing and developing scalable processes to make drug substances and drug products, including small molecules, peptides, and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), throughout pre-clinical and clinical development stages. Process Engineering also partners with Biologics CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) Development and Aesthetics R&D functions to provide active engineering support to enable robust process scale-up and manufacturing of biologics drug substances and drug products including toxins and cosmetic active ingredients (CAIs). We contribute to the development of innovative engineering technologies and create valuable intellectual property through the composition of matter, chemical processes, and technologies resulting in cost-effective commercial manufacturing processes. We support the development of the supply chain for pipeline molecules and help prepare and defend CMC regulatory content.
Chemical/Bio Engineers within R&D Process Engineering support pipeline projects through all phases of development. Early in development, engineers focus on establishing an enabling process that can be scaled up successfully. In the later stages of development, engineers optimize the drug substance and drug product processes and lead manufacturing campaigns. Engineers also work cross-functionally to transfer the optimized process to manufacturing sites, develop control strategy, and prepare reports to support regulatory filings.
Role Overview
The successful engineering candidate will play a key role in the R&D Process Engineering function.The core deliverable of R&D Process Engineering is to develop robust manufacturing processes and advance innovative technologies using strong engineering fundamentals. The ideal candidate will have a passion for hands-on laboratory process development. The candidate is also expected to lead the identification and development of novel approaches and technologies to enhance process development efficiency and commercialization. The candidate must exhibit a collaborative nature in identifying process challenges on a wide range of projects and take part in a cross-functional team to deliver specific project needs.
Key Responsibilities
Develop robust manufacturing processes, supporting assets through all phases of development.
Participate in development and characterization of new assets.
Establish, communicate, and execute research plans.
Develop commercial ready manufacturing processes in the laboratory and demonstrate the processes in the pilot plant.
Addresschallenging problems with reactions, separations, and/or isolations using expertise in reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, and mathematical modeling.
Author and/or review technical documents summarizing process development efforts and contribute to regulatory filings.
Exhibita collaborative nature in identifying process challenges on a wide range of projects and communicate findings and recommendations effectivelyby multi-disciplinary interactions with organic chemists, analytical chemists, process development engineers, pilot plant engineers, drug product development scientists, program managers, and regulatory affairs specialists.
Author publications and present at scientific conferences.
Qualifications
BS, MS, or PhD in Chemical/Bio Engineering or a related field and 10 (BS), 8 (MS), or 0 (PhD) years of relevant industrial experience.
Job level will be commensurate with academic and/or industrial work experience.
Candidates are expected to have a strong background in chemical engineering and the proven ability to demonstrate their skills in this field.
The candidate is expected to demonstrate the ability to solve difficult technical problems and champion new technologies to achieve project goals.
The candidate is required to be a strong team player and possess effective oral and written communication skills.
Preferred
Working knowledge of analytical techniques such as UV/Vis, HPLC, FTIR, Raman, mass spectrometry, and microscopy.
Experience with laboratory experimentation and process scale-up.
Experience with mechanistic and/or process modeling or computational fluid dynamics.
Experience with design of experiments and statistical tools.
Familiarity with operation of chemical/biochemical process equipment and systems.
Experience with control strategy development, risk assessments, and tech transfer.
Experience with GxP compliance.
