About the role
Your Responsibilities
- Perform physicochemical and biochemical characterization of biologics using a variety of analytical techniques, including HPLC/UPLC, isoelectric focusing (IEF), capillary electrophoresis (CE), spectroscopic methods, biochemical assays, and binding/kinetic assays.
- Support day-to-day laboratory operations, including sample receipt and tracking, troubleshooting, and performance monitoring of analytical instrumentation, including chromatography systems, electrophoresis platforms, microplate readers, and other laboratory equipment.
- Independently design and execute laboratory studies, analyze and interpret data, troubleshoot analytical challenges, and communicate findings through technical reports, presentations, and team discussions.
- Prepare and maintain assay reagents, reference standards, controls, and other materials required to support analytical testing activities.
- Maintain accurate and compliant laboratory records, electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), experimental protocols, and supporting documentation in accordance with company procedures and quality standards.
- Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality analytical results and project milestones.
- Master’s or bachelor’s degree in chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related scientific discipline with 2-5 years (MSc.) or 4-6 years (BSc.) of relevant industry experience.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience with analytical characterization techniques, particularly chromatography (U/HPLC), electrophoretic and isoelectric focusing (PA 800 Plus/Maurice), is required.
- Experience working in a CRO and/or GMP Quality Control (QC) environment is highly desirable.
- Proficiency with Waters Empower™ chromatography data software is a strong plus.
- Working knowledge of biotherapeutic analytical development (e.g., method qualification and/or validation and assay transfer).
- Experience with additional biophysical characterization techniques, such as SEC-MALS, DSC, circular dichroism (CD), FT-IR, or MFI, and/or LC-MS-based characterization of biotherapeutics is highly desirable but not required.
- Ability to independently plan and execute experiments while managing multiple priorities and maintaining timelines in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to work successfully in both a team/matrix environment as well as independently.
- Experience with the analytical characterization of oligonucleotides a plus.
What we offer
- Benefits: Comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick), medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees.
- Work Environment: Laboratory-based position in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.
