About the Role:
We are seeking an Operations Engineer / Production Scientist to support peptide manufacturing at our Menlo Park site. This role will serve as a technical process owner on the manufacturing floor, with a primary focus on Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS), synthesis, cleavage, purification, and lyophilization.
You will be responsible for monitoring, analyzing, troubleshooting, and continuously improving peptide manufacturing processes. This role partners closely with Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering to improve yield and throughput, reduce process variability, support robust GMP operations, and drive data-based decision-making across the manufacturing process.
The ideal candidate brings strong peptide manufacturing or API process experience, a hands-on manufacturing mindset, and the ability to use process data, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement tools to improve manufacturing performance.
You Will:
-
Serve as a technical process owner for peptide manufacturing operations, including SPPS, purification, and lyophilization.
-
Support manufacturing teams during batch execution and provide real-time technical troubleshooting on the floor.
-
Monitor critical process parameters and key performance indicators across peptide manufacturing processes.
-
Collect, analyze, and trend manufacturing data to identify process variability, yield losses, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities.
-
Develop and maintain manufacturing dashboards tracking yield, cycle time, solvent usage, throughput, batch success rate, and right-first-time metrics.
