Principal Bioprocess Engineer - Process Development

Newton Colmore is working with a well-funded tech company developing AI-driven bioprocessing systems for the pharmaceutical industry, focused on mammalian cell culture and monoclonal antibody production. Due to continued growth, we are assisting them with their hiring of a Senior Bioprocess Engineer to join their team which is a vital appointment for them.

Within this role you will bridge process biology and advanced sensing, running suspension CHO/HEK293 cultures across scales from the bench to pilot, building and maintaining Raman/PLS models, and translating bioreactor behaviour into requirements for engineering and software teams.

You will be joining a multidisciplinary team of high talent engineers and scientists, and your role will be pivotal to the development of their technology.

We are ideally looking for a candidate with the following;

• Significant industry experience within pharma/biotech, strong upstream focus
• Cell culture in fed-batch and perfusion bioreactors, with scale-up/scale-down and tech transfer experience under GMP
• Hands-on with in-line/at-line sensors, calibration and analytes (glucose, lactate, titer, osmolality etc.)
• Raman spectroscopy with PLS chemometric modelling

The company are building something that they feel is special and they need great minds to join their mission. You will be rewarded with autonomy and freedom to make this role your own, which given the stage of the company, could quickly turn into a leadership position, mixed with a strong starting salary which can be tailored to the right candidate. Relocation assistance would be on a case-by-case basis, and they are currently putting together an equity plan.

Within this company innovation and invention comes first, and with direct access to the CEO and CTO, there would not be any hierarchy to stem your work.
