Description

As a Process Engineer I, you'll launch your career in chemical engineering with the support of highly experienced engineers and scientists who are eager to mentor and guide you. In this role, you'll be immersed in every stage of bringing new products from the laboratory to full-scale manufacturing, gaining hands-on experience with batch processes and unit operations such as reactions, distillation, extraction, filtration, and drying. Because we are a global contract development and manufacturing organization, you'll have the unique opportunity to work on several different chemical processes each year and collaborate directly with pharmaceutical clients from around the world. This role is designed to accelerate your professional growth, giving you the chance to learn, contribute, and make a real impact early in your career.

Reporting to a Senior Manager, Process Engineering, the Process Engineer I is part of a team responsible for the cGMP manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The engineer will apply their knowledge of chemical engineering fundamentals to assist project teams translating new chemical processes to manufacturing. Projects include small-scale development, technology transfer, pilot-scale production, validation, and support of commercial manufacturing.

Under the guidance of senior engineers and scientists:

• • Perform scaling calculations for unit operations, assisting with the conceptual process design.
  • Participate in process reviews for operability, safety, and quality.
  • Play a support role, providing information to external clients and internal stakeholders.
  • Support production campaigns through in-person observation.
  • Analyze production and laboratory data to assist with process understanding.
  • Assist with quality investigations and corrective action / preventative action implementation.
  • Support process improvement projects to reduce cycle time, increase yield, and improve quality.
  • Draft manufacturing documents: process flow diagrams, batch records, validation protocols, standard operating procedures, quality investigations, campaign reports.

Applied Math and Science: A strong understanding of the core chemical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, transport, kinetics, etc.).

Data Analysis, Visualization, Troubleshooting: The ability to analyze data from various sources, including sensors and experiments, to identify trends, troubleshoot issues, and improve efficiency.

Process Simulation and Modeling: With training and support from senior engineers, use software (spreadsheets, programming, simulators) to model chemical unit operations and processes.

Process Safety and Risk Management: With training and support from senior engineers, assess and manage risks associated with chemical processes, ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment.

Process Scale Up & Equipment knowledge: With training and support from senior engineers, assess equipment capability of key processing equipment (reactors, filters, heat exchangers) with respect to process fit.

Problem-Solving: With training and support from senior engineers, identify, analyze, and solve complex problems related to chemical processes and plant operations. Includes investigations.

Technical Writing & Communication: The ability to explain technical concepts clearly and accurately to technical and non-technical audiences.

Attention to Detail: Be meticulous and pay close attention to detail to ensure accuracy and quality.

Adaptability: The ability to adapt to changing priorities, new technologies, and unexpected challenges is important.

Time Management: Ability to handle key assignments, meeting deadlines with supervision.

• B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering or related field.

• Experience in a chemical manufacturing environment, particularly pharmaceutical, is preferred.
