About The Position

The Scientist, Process Analytical Sciences (PAS), is part of the Analytical Development (AD) Proteins organization and is responsible for accelerating large-molecule development by delivering phase-appropriate analytical testing at scale—combining high-throughput methods, automation, and streamlined data workflows to meet program timelines.

Requirements

Hands-on experience with laboratory automation platforms, including Tecan (EVO/Fluent) or similar liquid-handling systems, with demonstrated capability in scripting and workflow development.
Experience working in cross-functional environments, effectively collaborating with analytical scientists, engineers, digital/data teams, and external vendors.
Strong background in multiple protein-based technologies (e.g., HPLC/UPLC, cIEF, CE-SDS, ELISA, cell-based assays, etc.)

Nice To Haves

Experience with programming or scripting concepts (e.g., EVOware, FluentControl, Python, or similar) and integration of automated systems with data platforms (ELN/LIMS).
Demonstrated ability to train and mentor others, create standard work, and build sustainable technical capability within a team environment.
Strong communication, organization, and project management skills, with the ability to prioritize work and deliver against timelines in a dynamic environment.
Familiarity with regulated environments (e.g., GMP/GxP) and supporting documentation, validation, and data integrity requirements.
Proven experience translating manual analytical or sample preparation workflows into automated solutions, supporting biologics development or protein-based assays.

Responsibilities

Conduct execution of protein-based analytical assays for biologics drug development to quantify size variants, excipient content, charge variants, bioactivity, etc.
Troubleshoot instrumentation issues ; perform root-cause investigations with SMEs/vendors and implement corrective actions.
Thrive in a team setting in a dynamic environment , contribute technical expertise to multiple large molecule programs, be proficient with documentation, and review of analytical data
Design and deploy Tecan-automated sample prep workflows supporting protein-based assays and day-to-day analytical testing needs.
Create and maintain Tecan scripts/methods (liquid classes, labware definitions, prompts, sample sheets, error handling) for reliable execution.
Train and mentor end-users to run and maintain scripts; publish templates and standard processes to build shared capability.
Evaluate and pilot new automation devices/integrations ; summarize feasibility results and recommend expansions to workflow scope.
