Manufacturing Scientist - Upstream Biologics - Remote

Overview

We’re building a high-impact Drug Substance Manufacturing team at a brand-new, state-of-the-art site in New Jersey – and looking for 5 new Manufacturing Scientists who thrive in fast-paced, science-driven environments. You’ll be part of a mission-critical team scaling up biologics manufacturing processes from pilot scale to 2000L single-use bioreactors in preparation for commercial GMP production. This is a unique opportunity to be on the front lines of large-scale biologics manufacturing, supporting first-in-plant execution of clinical and commercial batches in a hands-on, GMP shop floor environment.

In Short

• Perform cell culture operations including seed expansion, cell inoculation, cell growth monitoring, and harvest in single-use bioreactors (SUBs) up to 2000L.
• Prepare and operate equipment for media and buffer preparation, seed train, and clarification processes.
• Accurately execute GMP batch records, logbooks, and documentation in real time.
• Ensure aseptic technique and contamination control in cleanroom environments.
• Support facility and equipment readiness, including area/equipment prep, cleaning, and turnover.
• Follow cGMP, EHS, and SOP guidelines with precision and consistency.
• Participate in shift-based operations (including potential nights/weekends on rotation).

Requirements

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, Biochemistry, or related field.
• 2-6+ years of experience in upstream biologics manufacturing (Associate II/III level).
• Hands-on experience with bioreactor operations, seed train, and clarification required.
• Comfortable working in a GMP cleanroom with strict gowning and hygiene procedures.
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and team-focused with excellent documentation habits.

Benefits

• Relocation assistance for non-local candidates.
