We are looking for a seasoned, floor-oriented Process Engineer who can support both manufacturing and packaging. This person must be able to troubleshoot in real time with operators, stabilize processes, support validation/change-related activities, understand and support project engineering initiatives (project lifecycle) and bring strong experience in BioTech environments.

Be part of an exciting start-up that supports the world’s leading pharmaceutical, biotech, food, and animal health companies. Get the best of both worlds. Gain experience at a company that leads projects for global pharmaceutical companies while enjoying the flexibility, energy, and personal attention that can only be found working in a small, close-knit company. 

APPLICANTS MUST HAVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN BIOTECH, PHARMACEUTICAL, OR ANIMAL HEALTH INDUSTRIES TO BE CONSIDERED

Essential Duties: 

• Provide process engineering support across production processes. 

• Troubleshoot process and equipment issues directly with operators, mechanics, supervisors, and technical teams. 

• Lead or support investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective actions tied to deviations, recurring losses, or process failures. 

• Support validation-related activities, continued process verification, process monitoring, and change implementation as needed. 

• Partner with QA, QC, Maintenance, Engineering, and Operations to keep processes controlled, reliable, and execution-ready. 

• Support line trials, startup/ramp-up activities, and technical improvements tied to throughput, quality, reliability, and waste reduction. 

• Help connect upstream manufacturing conditions with downstream packaging performance so issues are solved at the actual source. 

• Support Project Engineering across the project lifecycle from URS/specification development to vendor identification and assessment, to equipment installation activities (FAT/SAT, IOPQ) 

Requirements: 

• 7–10+ years of process engineering experience in an FDA-regulated or similarly controlled manufacturing environment. 

• Demonstrated SME-level knowledge and experience supporting Biological processes, including aseptic filling. 

• Strong troubleshooting capability in live production environments. 

• Experience with deviations, investigations, root cause analysis, change control, and technical process improvement. 

• Demonstrated experience with the validation lifecycle. 

• Working knowledge of project engineering principals and proven experience across the project lifecycle. 

• Comfort working on-site full time and moving between multiple production areas throughout the day. 

• Ability to work directly with operators and site teams in a practical, hands-on support role. 
• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Industrial, or related Engineering discipline. 

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with line trials, technology transfer, startup support, or new product introduction. 

• Exposure to continued process verification, FMEA, Lean, TPM, centerlining, or reliability improvement methods. 

• Experience using plant systems or reporting tools such as SAP, MES, or Power BI. 

Pre-Employment Requirements: 

• Pass and maintain pre-employment/contract background check and safety certification, including but not limited to outstanding professional references.
• Subject to motor vehicle report review.
• Maintain valid driver’s license and endorsements as required per position.
• Pass pre-employment/contract physical, medical evaluation, and drug screen due to the safety sensitive nature of this position.
• Successfully complete and maintain any required safety certification and testing on an annual basis.

Work Environment Expectations 

• This role is expected to be on-site full-time at the Client facility. 

• The individual must be comfortable entering various manufacturing and packaging areas as needed to support operators and troubleshoot issues. 

• This is a hands-on site support role, not a primarily remote or conference-room-based engineering assignment.
