The Beam Manufacturing Sciences & Technology (MS&T) team provides technical expertise for the transfer and production of complex cellular therapeutics, mRNA and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) at the RTP manufacturing facility. The MS&T team applies a deep understanding of science and engineering principles to translate processes from development to manufacturing. The team is accountable for process technology transfers, process troubleshooting to manufacturing, deviation investigational leadership, support for regulatory submissions, and leadership of all manufacturing site based technical improvement initiatives. The MS&T Co-op will gain experience navigating real world projects related to process technology transfer and production opportunities at the RTP manufacturing facility.

Responsibilities:

The MS&T Co-op will have responsibility for projects associated with the transfer and production of mRNA/LNP processes. Potential projects including equipment cleaning validation execution in GMP environment, process modeling, mixing studies, and streamlining site documents.

The MS&T Co-op, under the guidance of their mentor, will be accountable for developing and executing a project plan against defined objectives and desired outcomes, and engaging cross functional partners and stakeholders, as needed, to meet project timelines.

Qualifications:

• Candidate must be pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, Biochemistry, or related field.
• Must be entering their third or fourth year (Bachelor’s) or currently pursuing a Master’s degree.
• Prior industry internship or academic lab-based research experience with preparative chromatography equipment is preferred.
• The candidate should have a solid academic foundation in engineering, science and mathematics coursework (examples: biology/chemistry/biochemistry, engineering principles, biochemical/bioengineering, reactor design/lab, molecular biology, etc.)
• Note, this role will function within a hybrid (partially remote, partially onsite) working environment, and requires a self-motivated individual.
