Boston, United States Ark Biotech Full time

Ark is developing an intelligent biomanufacturing platform so that more scientific breakthroughs reach commercialization. By integrating advanced modeling and simulation into bioprocessing, Ark short-circuits the lengthy and expensive development process (years and $100Ms). Ark’s platform includes an experiment co-pilot and digital twin for rapid process optimization and an intelligent bioreactor that drives productivity growth. Ark's platform will expedite the commercialization of biotechnological innovations that can improve human health, combat climate change, and enhance national security.


About the role

We are looking for a Process Modeling Specialist with a solid background in multiphysics and data-driven modeling. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing and deploying fit-for-purpose models for simulation and optimization of cell culture and fermentation processes. 


In this role, you will develop and deploy computational models spanning (1) parameter fitting and model selection (e.g., cell growth metabolism models), (2) operational digital-twin simulations (e.g., enabling robust hybrids models of cell growth and other critical parameters), (3) model-based control (e.g., deploying supervisory control algorithm for batch optimization).


The role of the Process Modeling Specialist is an excellent opportunity for a highly-entrepreneurial, hard-working, self-motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment. The position entails working with a multidisciplinary team as part of a new product development cycle, which includes developing concepts and taking them from initial design and prototyping through commercialization.

  • Develop reliable model-based control algorithms and soft-sensors
  • Work with the automation and data teams to integrate models that improve yield and process robustness
  • Collaborate with clients and partners to translate their process requirements into concrete optimization problems
