Imagine telling people your work helps create the building blocks for 3D printed organs. At United Therapeutics, that's not science fiction. It's the mission. We're seeking a driven Bioprocess Engineer to help develop and scale robust cell production processes that support some of the most ambitious advances in regenerative medicine today. You'll join a highly collaborative team where innovation is expected, scientific curiosity is celebrated, and your contributions have the potential to change the future of transplant medicine for patients around the world.
The Bioprocess Engineer, Cell Production and Process Development (OMG) will be responsible for the execution of studies related to the scale up and process development of robust methods to produce iPS-derived autologous cells for 3D printed organs in a GMP setting. Additionally, this role will contribute to supplying primary and iPSC-derived cells for R&D tissue engineering efforts.
- Contribute to the production effort to provide sufficient cells for R&D cellularization and tissue engineering efforts of 3D printed scaffolds
- Execute process development studies to scale-up iPSC differentiation processes to multiple cell types and develop robust, cGMP manufacturing processes
- Assist in developing, writing, and reviewing laboratory methods and protocols
- Assist in evaluating new technologies for future process development
- Support tech transfer activities from outside collaborators to internal laboratory and from internal PD efforts to cGMP manufacturing sites, as needed
- Support the evaluation of laboratory equipment
- Foster and leverage synergistic interactions with other sub-groups in Organ Manufacturing (e.g., Bioink, Scaffold Production, Cellularization), as needed
- Support the creation of data for scientific publications and presentations at scientific conferences
- Perform other duties as assigned
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in biomedical science, cell biology or related field with 2+ years of relevant industry experience with prior experience in iPSC culture and bioreactor cell production or Master's degree with 1+ years of relevant industry experience with prior experience in iPSC culture and bioreactor cell production
- Experience with cell bioreactor culture, preferably Sartorius Ambr/B-DCU systems and/or vertical wheel bioreactors with scales up to 10L+
- Experience with automated cell processing equipment such as CliniMACS Plus, LOVO, Cue, Sepax, Sefia, Rotea or others
- Knowledge in transfer of R&D cell expansion methods to GMP
- Proficient with appropriate word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and related standard software; Experience with laboratory instrumentation and data software
- Ability to accommodate a non-traditional work schedule (e.g. Sun-Thu, Tue-Sat)
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s Degree in biomedical science, cell biology or related field
- Strong working knowledge of cellular process development
