Job Description

Title: Senior Scientist I, Process Engineering

Process Engineering, a part of AbbVie R&Ds Development Sciences organization, is responsible for designing and developing scalable processes to make drug substances and drug products, including small molecules and antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), throughout pre-clinical and clinical development stages. Process Engineering also partners with Biologics CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) Development and Aesthetics R&D functions to provide active engineering support to enable robust process scale-up and manufacturing of biologics drug substances and drug products including toxins and cosmetic active ingredients (CAIs). We contribute to the development of innovative engineering technologies and create valuable intellectual property through the composition of matter, chemical processes, and technologies resulting in cost-effective commercial manufacturing processes. We support the development of the supply chain for pipeline molecules and help prepare and defend CMC regulatory content.

Chemical/Bio Engineers within Process Engineering support pipeline projects through all phases of development. Early in development, engineers focus on establishing an enabling process that can be scaled-up successfully. In the later stages of development, engineers optimize the drug substance and drug product processes and lead manufacturing campaigns. Engineers also work cross-functionally to transfer the optimized process to manufacturing sites, develop control strategy, and prepare reports to support regulatory filings.

Role Overview

The successful engineering candidate will play a key role in the BioProcess Engineering (BPE) Center, a part of the Process Engineering function.The core deliverable of BPE is to develop robust manufacturing processes and advance innovative technologies using strong engineering fundamentals. The ideal candidate will have prior biologics and ADC development experience and a passion for hands-on laboratory process development. The candidate is also expected to lead the identification and development of novel approaches and technologies to enhance process development efficiency and commercialization. The candidate must exhibit a collaborative nature in identifying process challenges on a wide range of projects and participate in a cross-functional team to deliver specific project needs.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop robust manufacturing processes, supporting antibody drug conjugate assets through all phases of development.Performlaboratory experiments and process modeling to support process understanding and optimization.Addresschallenging problems with biochemical reactions, separations, and/or isolations using expertise in reaction kinetics, transport phenomena, and mathematical modeling.Author and/or review technical documents summarizing process development efforts.Exhibita collaborative nature in identifying process challenges on a wide range of projects and communicate findings and recommendations effectivelyby multi-disciplinary interactions with organic chemists, analytical chemists, process development engineers, pilot plant engineers, drug product development scientists, program managers, and regulatory affairs specialists.Author publications and present at scientific conferences.
