Bioprocess Engineer, Cell Production & Process Development

About the role

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. This position is located in our Manchester, NH Lab.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements
