Your Role:We are excited to announce an opening for a
Bioprocess Applications Engineer 2 within the Single Use and Integrated Systems Product Development team, part of MilliporeSigma's Process Solutions business unit. Based at our Bedford, MA campus, this role will support the development and application of integrated platform solutions for next-generation bioprocessing.
In this role, you will apply strong engineering fundamentals, hands-on experimentation, data analysis, and customer-focused problem solving to evaluate new technologies, understand system performance, and translate application insights into product requirements, technical guidance, and customer-relevant solutions. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys applying technical depth to practical bioprocessing challenges and helping deliver more efficient, flexible, and robust biomanufacturing solutions.
Responsibilities:- Plan and execute applications studies to evaluate single-use systems and consumables under customer-relevant bioprocessing conditions and process workflows.
- Apply core engineering principles, such as fluid dynamics, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, and scale-up/scale-down concepts, to understand system performance and guide product development.
- Develop test methods and scale-down models to assess system performance, operating windows, and process robustness.
- Use experimental data, statistical analysis, coding tools, and/or simulation approaches, including CFD where appropriate, to generate application insights, support technical decisions, and build predictive understanding.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product Development, Product Management, Commercial, Operations, and Quality to advance product concepts through development, verification, validation, and commercialization.
- Represent the bioprocessing end-user perspective by understanding customer workflows, performance needs, technology gaps, and usability requirements.
- Translate application learnings into product requirements, technical recommendations, customer-facing materials, and practical guidance that support product adoption and successful use in bioprocessing workflows.
- Provide technical support for customer trials, investigations, and new use cases by communicating technical findings, demonstrating product capabilities, resolving technical inquiries, and capturing actionable feedback to inform future product and application development.
Who You AreMinimum Qualifications:- Master's Degree in an Engineering field (e.g., Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, etc.) with 1+ years of industry experience
-OR-
- Bachelor's Degree in an Engineering field (e.g., Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, etc.) with 3+ years of industry experience
Preferred Qualifications: - Strong technical foundation with the ability to apply first-principles engineering thinking, including fluid dynamics, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, and scale-up/scale-down principles.
- Experience with single-use systems or consumables through process development, manufacturing, field applications, or direct product development. Familiarity with single-use films, tubing, connectors, chemical compatibility, integrity testing, E&L, or risk assessments is a plus.
- Experience with mixing or fluid handling applications, such as final formulation, powder dissolution, product hold, high-viscosity fluids, or shear-sensitive products.
- Experience developing scale-down models, representative test systems, or test methods to characterize product, system, or application performance.
- Familiarity with computational fluid dynamics (CFD), modeling, simulation, experimental fluid dynamics, or related tools to support design decisions and application understanding.
- Strong quantitative and data analysis skills, including experience with statistical analysis, mathematical modeling, coding, or data visualization using tools such as Python, MATLAB, R, JMP, Minitab, or similar platforms.
- Knowledge of product and process development activities, including design of experiments (DOE), FMEA, design for manufacturing, test method development, qualification, and validation.
- Proven ability to analyze data, interpret results, communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders, learn new technologies, and contribute proactively in a dynamic environment.
