Job Opportunity: Scientist III, MSAT

This role offers an exciting opportunity to support the transfer and integration of viral vector bioprocesses into cGMP manufacturing environments. As part of a multidisciplinary team, the MSAT Scientist III will collaborate closely with internal departments and external clients to ensure process readiness, scalability, and successful manufacturing execution.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead or support the transfer of biologic manufacturing processes by interpreting process flow diagrams, technical documentation, and process development data.

• Facilitate the scale-up and technology transfer of upstream (e.g., cell culture, harvesting) and downstream (e.g., purification, formulation) bioprocess operations.

• Work cross-functionally to manage and execute process transfers from process development teams or external clients in compliance with regulatory standards.

• Oversee the execution of clinical or commercial manufacturing campaigns, troubleshoot process deviations, and guide investigations to determine root causes and corrective actions.

• Collaborate with project managers to develop timelines, identify risks, and escalate critical issues as necessary.

• Support new product introductions, process improvements, and ongoing manufacturing support by applying scientific and engineering principles.

• Contribute to documentation such as bills of materials, material qualifications, and process descriptions to ensure consistent production outcomes.

• Apply analytical tools and methodologies to monitor process performance and enhance operational efficiency.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in biology, biochemistry, chemical engineering, biotechnology, or a related field.

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in biomanufacturing, preferably with a focus on viral vectors, biologics, or cell therapy products.

• Solid understanding of bioprocess unit operations such as bioreactor setup, filtration systems, chromatography, and aseptic processing techniques.

• Experience in sterile processing and/or fill-finish operations is a strong asset.

• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills with the ability to resolve complex technical issues.

• Effective communicator with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly across teams.

• Demonstrated leadership in managing projects and coordinating with cross-functional stakeholders.

• Familiarity with deviation management tools and root cause analysis methodologies (e.g., Fishbone, DMAIC, FMEA).

• Detail-oriented with a high degree of accuracy in scientific documentation and process execution.

• Experience with statistical analysis software or tools is a plus.
