Summary

Roles and Responsibilities:
  • 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.
  • Evaluate coupling efficiency, resin performance, deprotection efficiency, impurity formation trends, and other process indicators related to SPPS performance.
  • Identify and implement improvements to reaction conditions, cycle parameters, manufacturing practices, and process controls.
  • Lead initiatives to improve product yield, throughput, cycle time, overall equipment effectiveness, and process robustness.
  • pply Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, statistical analysis, and structured root cause analysis tools to reduce waste and process variation.
  • Lead or support investigations related to process excursions, atypical results, yield losses, manufacturing deviations, and equipment/process issues.
  • Use tools such as Fishbone Analysis, 5 Why Analysis, FMEA, and Statistical Process Control to identify root cause and drive corrective actions.
  • uthor and revise SOPs, Master Batch Records, process descriptions, manufacturing instructions, technical reports, and process performance summaries.
  • Support deviation investigations, CAPAs, change controls, risk assessments, process validation, and continued process verification activities.
  • Ensure technical documentation is accurate, complete, and compliant with cGMP requirements.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and site leadership to improve manufacturing performance.
  • Support implementation of new equipment, technologies, and manufacturing systems.
  • Participate in production planning, operational excellence reviews, and process improvement meetings.
  • Provide technical mentoring and training to manufacturing personnel on process understanding and best practices.

Education and Experience:
