- A strong sense of ownership and accountability; commitment to the company’s mission.
Essential Functions :
- Operate and maintain the Downstream pilot plant production line in the company’s San Carlos facility.
- Preparation of buffers, execution of chromatography, tangential flow filtration, and normal flow filtration systems.
- Support for Upstream pilot plant operations.
- Develop and optimize process records that clearly instruct and efficiently facilitate the capture of data.
- Schedule and manage logistics of routine pilot production of proteins to support the company’s pipeline.
- Support scale-up activities for processes as part of technology transfer to CMOs.
- Contribute to process development for protein processes as time allows.
- Run in-process tests and product quality assays to support pilot production.
- Generate written summaries of production runs.
- Packing columns from loose resin.
- Buffer preparation up to 200L.
Requirements :
- BS in Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a related discipline, with 2+ years of industry experience.
- Strong protein purification knowledge and experience, including familiarity with AKTA Pilot (or Avant) chromatography systems and UNICORN software.
- Proficiency running analytical methods a plus; such methods may include SDS-PAGE, Endosafe, UV spectroscopy, and HPLC.
- Experience operating tangential flow filtration systems; single-pass TFF is a plus.
- Experience with Benchling ELN is a plus.
- Strong interpersonal skills, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- All employees require vaccination against COVID-19.
