Job description

The Quality Control - Analytics department supports a growing portfolio of cell and gene therapy (CGT) products, including CAR-T, iPSC, AAV, LVV and synthetic DNA products. We are immediately recruiting for a highly motivated QC Analyst I to perform laboratory testing with distinct technical but complementary focus within a fast-paced GMP environment. You will contribute to the development, qualification and execution of analytical methods supporting GMP release and characterization testing. Additionally, you will work cross-functionally with Analytical / Process Development, Manufacturing, and Quality Assurance to ensure methods meet regulatory and compendial expectations while supporting patient safety. This is an outstanding opportunity for a candidate to work under the guidance of a supervisor and mentor, manage time effectively, complete assigned analytical tasks in a cross-functional collaborative environment supporting development and cGMP manufacturing of cell and gene therapies.  

This role focuses on the development and optimization of UHPLC-based biophysical analytical methods and/or PCR-based, and related molecular methods supporting CGT safety, identity, purity, strength and quality testing, including residual impurity and compendial applications such as Mycoplasma detection.   

Scope of Responsibilities 

  • Complete required read/understand courses, bench-work training and quality-controlled cGMP documentation requirements. 

  • Execute assigned analytical test methods, with cGMP compliance, to support cell therapy manufacturing, vector manufacturing, and fill finish. 

  • Support analytical assay development ensuring they are robust enough for qualification, transition to quality control and successful implementation.  

  • Perform general laboratory tasks, including maintenance and troubleshooting of equipment. 

  • Maintain accurate and reliable records, electronic lab notebook entries, and all other pertinent documentation. 

  • Comply with all environmental health and safety standards. 

  • This is a hands-on lab-based position requiring flexibility based on cell & gene therapy drug product manufacturing schedule.  

  • UHPLC-Based Methods (Purity and Residual Analysis) 

  • Develop, optimize, and troubleshoot UHPLC-based methods (e.g., reverse phase, ion-pair, size exclusion etc.) for purity analysis of small molecules, DNA, RNA, and related CGT residuals.  

  • Apply molecular biology and biophysical characterization techniques to support method development.  

  • Support technical transfer and method qualification activities. 

  • Generate and review technical protocols, reports and GMP documentation. Troubleshoot chromatographic performance issues (e.g., peak shouldering, tailing, resolution) and propose corrective strategies. 

  • PCR-Based Methods (qPCR / dPCR/ ddPCR) 

  • Develop and optimize PCR methods applicable to CGT drug substance/drug product testing. 

  • Support compendial and non-compendial molecular testing. 

  • Support method transfer, qualification and troubleshooting activities. 

  • Generate and review technical protocols, reports and GMP-compliant documentation 

  • Proteomic and/or Cell-based Methods   

  • Contribute to assay development activities using cell-based and/or proteomics-based approaches, e.g., cell culture-based cytotoxicity assays, flow cytometry, ELISA/plate-reader-based assays as applicable to CGT QC. 

Required Experiences 

  • Hands-on operation of UHPLC instrumentation (e.g., Agilent, Water's platform) in a regulated or research setting. 

  • Working knowledge of molecular biology and/or biophysical characterization techniques applicable to DNA, RNA, or plasmid characterization. 

  • Hands-on experience with PCR platforms and related molecular assays. 

  • Working knowledge of proteomic or cell-based techniques used in CGT QC. 

  • Familiarity with compendial methods is a plus. 

Minimum Qualification 

  • QC Analyst I: Bachelors with minimum of 2 years or Masters with minimum of 1 year of relevant work experience, preferably in a cGMP biotechnology manufacturing environment, ideally with hands-on experience in cell and/or gene therapy. 

  • Demonstrate working knowledge of cGMP requirements. 

  • Ability to manage and prioritize tasks and projects, with the guidance of management. 

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills. 

  • Strong leadership skills, with an excitement to both roll up your sleeves and be a thoughtful partner. 

  • Detail-oriented with strong problem solving and troubleshooting skills. 

  • Applicants must possess valid, unrestricted work authorization and be available to commence work immediately upon offer.  

To Apply 

Please submit your resume/CV along with a brief cover letter describing your relevant experience for one or more applicable areas indicated above. Your cover letter should specifically address: 

  • Your hands-on experience with relevant technique 

  • Any additional relevant experience 

  • Your familiarity with GMP and regulatory framework applicable to CGT analytical testing.
