Key Responsibilities
Aseptic Process & Facility Design
Design anddevelop aseptic manufacturing processes, including fill/finish operations and sterile processing systems.
Define cleanroom layouts, material/personnel flows, and environmental control strategies to minimize contamination risks.
Support sites in evaluating and selecting equipment and technologies for aseptic manufacturing (e.g., filling lines, isolators, RABS, and sterilization systems).
Process Development, Optimization & Scale-Up
Establish microbial critical process parameters (CPPs) and develop robust aseptic manufacturing formulas.
Lead process optimization efforts to improve yield, reliability, and sterility assurance.
Support scale-up and technology transfer from development to commercial manufacturing.
Qualification, Validation & Lifecycle Management
Support and/or lead commissioning and qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) of aseptic systems and production lines.
Develop and execute process validation strategies, including media fills and continued process verification.
Ensure processes remain in control through lifecycle monitoring and continuous improvement.
Aseptic Process Simulation (APS) & Media Fill Program
Define theenterprise APS/media fill strategy, including program governance, intervention classification, acceptance criteria, and continuous improvement expectations
Establish and maintain enterprise-level policies governing media fill frequency, unit operation coverage, failure investigation protocols, and remediation pathways
Facilitate cross-site learning and consistency in APS program design across the BMS network by sharing best practices, regulatory trends, and lessons learned 6 supporting continuous improvement while respecting site program ownership.
Contamination Control & Sterility Assurance
Support sites in integrating Contamination Control & Sterility (CCS) requirements into process design and operational practices across facilities, equipment, and processes.
Assess risks related to microbial contamination and define mitigation strategies.
Integrate environmental monitoring, cleaning validation, and sterilization practices into process design.
Regulatory Compliance & Quality Integration
Ensure compliance with cGMP, FDA, EU GMP Annex 1, ISO standards, and ICH guidelines.
Support regulatory submissions, inspections, and audits with technical documentation.
Develop SOPs and technical documentation and provide input on batch records for aseptic processes.
Assist sites in developing and maintaining inspection-readiness materials for aseptic process design, CCS, and APS topics; serve as a technical SME resource alongside site teams during regulatory inspections (FDA, EMA, PMDA, and other health authorities).
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Technical Leadership
Partner with Quality, Manufacturing, Engineering, MS&T and Validation teams to deliver projects.
Provide SME support for troubleshooting and deviation investigations.
Lead or contribute to capital projects, technology transfers, and process improvements.
