  • Establish and maintain robust processes to ensure product quality and consistency.
  • Ensure reliable production of protein with MVP processes, fully integrating the DSP team into scale-up and scale-down teams.
  • Build sufficient scale-up and down models to allow seamless transfer of processes to industrial production scale.
Requirements
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in downstream processing and scale-up in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or food tech industries.
  • Able to travel to our CMOs and represent EVERY as a DSP expert.
  • Bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, bioprocess engineering, biotechnology, or a related field.
  • Proven track record of successfully scaling up DSP operations from pilot to full-scale manufacturing.
  • Extensive experience with CMOs.
  • Deep understanding of DSP technologies and processes, including purification, filtration, and centrifugation.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to make real-time adjustments to processes.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work hands-on at the manufacturing plant and collaborate effectively with plant operators and engineers.
What We Offer
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401k matching, and stock options.
  • Tasty perks, including weekly catered lunches.
  • Customizable options, including FSA, HSA, Commuter, Pet Care, and additional life insurance.
  • Work-life harmony, with flexible PTO and 10+ paid company holidays per year.
  • Onsite conveniences, including free parking and unlimited gym access.
  • Energizing refreshments, including unlimited sparkling water, granola bars, snacks, local coffee, and tea.
  • Exciting socials, including themed happy hours and quarterly company outings.
  • Open communication, with monthly all-hands meetings and direct access to CEO and leadership.
  • Ideal location, close to Daly City BART and Caltrain stations.
