What does an MSAT Scientist do?

An MSAT (Manufacturing Sciences and Technology) Scientist ensures the successful transfer, scale-up, and optimization of biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. They work closely with process development, manufacturing, and quality teams to troubleshoot and improve production efficiency. Their role involves data analysis, process validation, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards to maintain product quality.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the MSAT Scientist position?

To thrive as an MSAT Scientist, you generally need a background in biochemistry, chemical engineering, or a related field, often with an advanced degree and experience in process development or manufacturing sciences. Familiarity with laboratory and manufacturing equipment, process analytical technologies (PAT), and data analysis software such as JMP or Minitab is crucial, as are relevant GMP or Six Sigma certifications. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively in cross-functional teams set top candidates apart. These skills are vital for ensuring robust manufacturing processes, troubleshooting technical issues, and supporting efficient technology transfer from development to production.

Job description

Position Summary

This role serves as an independent technical leader responsible for technology transfer, process scale-up, manufacturing support, process troubleshooting, and continuous improvement for commercial and clinical biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The individual will lead cross-functional activities from process transfer through GMP manufacturing while ensuring technical rigor, regulatory compliance, and successful execution.

Essential Responsibilities

· Lead technology transfer from clients and internal Process Development into GMP manufacturing.

· Author comprehensive Technology Transfer Protocols that provide sufficient technical detail for manufacturing batch record development.

· Develop process descriptions, manufacturing instructions, engineering calculations, and scale-up strategies.

· Perform process scale-up calculations for upstream and downstream operations and select scientifically justified scale-up parameters.

· Identify technical risks associated with scale-up and develop mitigation strategies.

· Generate, review, and approve Bills of Materials (BOMs); ensure technical accuracy because BOMs are provided to clients for approval and drive project cost.

· Support batch record development and manufacturing execution.

· Provide on-floor manufacturing support during engineering, clinical, PPQ, and commercial campaigns.

· Lead deviation, OOS, and OOT investigations to scientifically determine root causes and implement effective CAPAs.

· Support change controls, process validation, process characterization, comparability studies, and continuous improvement.

· Serve as technical interface with Process Development, Manufacturing, QC, QA, Facilities, Supply Chain, Project Management, and clients.

· Mentor junior engineers/scientists and provide technical leadership.

Technical Expertise

· Strong knowledge of upstream cell culture and/or microbial fermentation and downstream purification; downstream expertise preferred.

· Deep understanding of process scale-up principles including mixing, oxygen transfer, chromatography, filtration (terminal, viral, depth), UF/DF, and centrifugation.

· Experience supporting GMP manufacturing and MSAT workflows.

· Knowledge of process validation, process characterization, statistical analysis, and risk management.

· Experience preparing technical reports, protocols, investigations, and client-facing documentation.

· Minimum 10 years of biopharmaceutical industry experience with 5 years in MSAT

· Demonstrated experience in MSAT, technology transfer, scale-up, and manufacturing support.

· Ability to independently lead technical investigations and make sound scientific decisions.

· Excellent technical writing skills for protocols, reports, and investigations.

· Strong project management and organizational skills.

Leadership & Interpersonal Competencies

· Excellent communication and presentation skills.

· Build trust across cross-functional teams.

· Professional, collaborative, and customer-focused.
