Job Description:
The Bioprocess Development Scientist is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing upstream and downstream processes for the production of biologics, including vaccines, enzymes, and therapeutic proteins. This role supports the transition of laboratory-scale procedures into scalable, reproducible processes suitable for GMP manufacturing. Working closely with R&D and manufacturing teams, the scientist plays a key role in technology transfer and process validation.
Core responsibilities include cell line development, media optimization, fermentation or cell culture process design, purification method development (e.g., chromatography, filtration), and scale-up using bioreactors. The scientist analyzes critical quality attributes, writes technical protocols and reports, and troubleshoots bioprocess inconsistencies. The role also includes supporting regulatory documentation and participating in cross-functional development projects.
This position is crucial to accelerating the development of safe, scalable, and cost-effective biopharmaceutical products and is suited to scientists with deep expertise in biologics manufacturing and process design.
Job Requirement:
Applicants should have a master’s or PhD in biotechnology, biochemical engineering, or a related field, with at least 4–7 years of experience in bioprocess development. Hands-on experience in cell culture, fermentation, purification (e.g., TFF, protein A), and bioreactor operation is essential. Familiarity with QbD principles, cGMP requirements, and tech transfer documentation is critical. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills are required. Fluency in English is essential. Prior experience in regulatory filings for biologics is advantageous.
