The successful candidate will lead small - to medium - scale production projects, serve as a technical authority in molecular and biochemical design, and ensure delivery of high- quality proteins for research and therapeutic applications. While the emphasis is on project leadership, planning, and mentorship, this position also involves hands-on bench work when needed to support critical projects or troubleshooting.
Flexibility is required, including potential weekend work and early or late weekday shifts based on project demands.
Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end protein production projects, from amino acid sequence design to purified, quality-tested product.
Design and optimize molecular constructs for recombinant proteins, including antibodies and antibody-derived formats (full-length IgG, bispecific, Fab, sc Fv, Fc-fusions) as well as Fc- and non-Fc fusion proteins.
Develop and lead critical SOPs, especially those related to sequence/construct design and molecular engineering, in coordination with upstream, downstream, and analytical teams.
Assist with customized project inquiry review. Determine feasibility of protein expressions, identify areas for optimization, and draft production proposals for project managers.
Advise and review upstream expression workflows in mammalian and insect systems (HEK293, CHO, Sf9), ensuring reproducibility and scalability.
Lead downstream purification strategies using modern chromatography platforms (affinity, IEX, SEC) and contribute to process optimization.
Develop and interpret analytical assays, including ELISA, BLI, DSF, HPLC-SEC, and related QC methods, to assess protein quality, stability, and activity.
Mentor and supervise associates and junior scientists, ensuring rigorous documentation, data integrity, and efficient lab execution.
Collaborate across departments to align on construct design principles, process strategies, and project execution.
Perform bench work when necessary to support critical experiments, troubleshooting, or method development.
Requirements
Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or related field, with 5+ years of industrial experience in recombinant protein and antibody production.
Proven expertise in amino acid sequence design and molecular construct development for recombinant proteins, including antibodies (full-length IgG, bispecific, Fab, sc Fv) and fusion proteins (Fc- and non-Fc).
Experience with protein structural and sequence analysis software.
Demonstrated ability to act as a sole technical contributor and project owner.
Hands-on experience with mammalian and insect cell expression systems, as well as chromatography purification (e.g., Cytiva AKTA).
Proficiency in protein characterization assays such as ELISA, BLI, DSF, HPLC-SEC, and SDS-PAGE.
Strong record of SOP authorship and cross-team collaboration on technical standards.
Excellent project management, organizational, and communication skills.
Industrial CRO/CMO experience preferred.
Flexibility to work occasional early/late shifts or weekends based on project needs.
Must be able to lift and move 25-50 lbs as needed.
At this time, we are unable to provide visa sponsorship. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States now and in the future without the need for sponsorship.
