  • Lead/support technical root cause analysis, incident investigations, and solving problems on process control issues related to plant operations.
  • Lead and support new product introductions (NPI) or new technology introductions by performing automation engineering assessments, implementing automation system configuration changes, and supporting engineering and process qualification runs as applicable.
  • Manage day-to-day operational support, including 24x7 onsite/on-call operational support, troubleshooting support to manufacturing operations, automation system administration, automation system operating systems (OS) hotfix assessments and rollout, preventative and corrective maintenance, and automation system spare parts management.
Requirements

  • Experience with Emerson Delta-V DCS system, Process Control Network design, and ability to perform troubleshooting activities with Amgen IS, System Integration using OPC, Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus, and DeviceNet technologies.
  • Ability to interpret and apply GAMPs and GMPs, and familiarity with documentation in a highly regulated environment with requirements such as 21 CFR Part 11, ASTM 2500, S88, and S95.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience in developing process control strategies for New Product Introduction and New Technology Deployment for Drug Substance Plant Operations.
  • Demonstrated experience with continuous improvements resulting in enhanced safety, system reliability, and productivity (e.g., cycle times, and reduced plant utilities usage, etc.) related to Drug Substance Plant Operations.
