Mechanical Design Engineer
About The Position
Founded in 2007, AustinPx is a fee-for-service CDMO offering preclinical through Phase II formulation and process development and GMP manufacturing of oral dosage forms. We specialize in bioavailability enhancement, speed to clinic and market development strategies, and dose form development. For poorly soluble compounds, we have one of the most powerful tools available in KinetiSol™, a truly next generation technology for rendering active pharmaceutical ingredients amorphous. The KinetiSol™ Technology generates amorphous solid dispersions, dramatically improving the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. KinetiSol is a fusion-based, solvent-free process that utilizes frictional and shear energies - in a fraction of the time of other ASD technologies. The successful candidate will generate solid models, drafting, and documentation for new design work pertaining to the company’s core technology. The candidate will also be directly involved in the manufacturing and assembly of designed equipment. The design engineer plays an important role in working with the company’s core technology as well as supporting R&D and Operations in a variety of ways.
