Job Description
Regeneron Preclinical Manufacturing & Process Development group (PMPD), located in Tarrytown NY, is seeking a Process Development Engineer III for fermentation purification process development. In this role, you will work as part of a multi-functional team to develop fermentation manufacturing processes, fermentation derived-starting materials, and products with the aim of providing treatment to unmet medical needs.
A Typical Day in the Role Might Include:
- Leading the design, execution/optimization, scale-up and characterization of robust processes for purifying fermentation products (e.g., plasmid DNA and recombinant proteins) and starting materials from microbial expression platforms.
- Independently applying multivariate design of experiment approaches such as DOE with influences from experimental data and scientific literature to tackle molecule specific-problems and optimize parameters for purification of fermentation starting materials and products.
- Crafting and performing in-process methods to quantify process derived impurities and product quality attributes across multiple assay formats.
- Discussing development program risks, and/or experimental data in multi-functional teams to evaluate process performance, determine/adjust development plans, and ensure coordinated program timeline success.
- Detailing and presenting experimental execution and results. Maintaining equipment.
- Partnering with External Manufacturing group and other related functions at Regeneron’s Industrial Operations and Product Supply (IOPS) organization to provide technical assessment of CDMO’s GMP production capability (gap assessments) and provide technology transfer support to ensure first-time-right time performance.
- Driving fermentation-purification platform development and new technology implementation to improve process performance, generation of predictive process models, and improve process control and adaptability
This Role Might be For You If You:
- Enjoy working in the lab to advance exciting new drug modalities to patients.
- You have strong initiative to complete daring tasks and be responsible for the evaluation of new process technologies.
- Have excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
This position requires a Bachelor’s degree in either Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Biochemistry, or related field with 8-10 years, a Master’s Degree with 5-7 years, or a Ph.D with 0-3 plus years of shown experience. A strong fundamental understanding of the principles of downstream development, a history of developing downstream steps within bioprocesses, and process scale up is helpful. Experience preferred with the following systems: Depth filtration, Tangential flow filtration, Cell lysis, Centrifugation (e.g., continuous, disc stack), Ultrafiltration/Diafiltration, and Chromatography using the Akta Avant 150/Pilot (e.g., ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and size exclusion). Proficiency with statistical analysis software (e.g., DOE, and Spotfire) is also required. Prior experience with purifying plasmid DNA is desired, and consideration will be given to similar experience with other biologics such as monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, adeno-associated virus, and other therapeutics proteins.
