You'll work closely with technical stakeholders, equipment vendors, and project teams to ensure manufacturing approaches are scalable, compliant, and aligned with current industry best practices. This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned aseptic processing professional who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, influencing critical design decisions, and helping bring next-generation products to market.

As the subject matter expert for aseptic processing, you'll play a key role in developing manufacturing strategies and ensuring that contamination-control principles are integrated throughout equipment and process design.

• Translate feasibility study outcomes into practical process, equipment, and facility requirements that support future manufacturing operations.
• Develop contamination-control strategies for aseptic assembly, fill/finish, and combination-product manufacturing processes.
• Define and author User Requirement Specifications (URS) for aseptic processing equipment and controlled-environment workstations.
• Evaluate, specify, and support implementation of Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs), ISO 5 / Grade A environments, and associated contamination-control technologies.
• Conduct and facilitate risk assessments, including process FMEA activities, to identify risks and establish effective mitigation strategies.
• Partner with equipment suppliers and technology providers to evaluate decontamination, sterilization, and aseptic processing solutions.
• Support development of handling, transfer, packaging, and assembly controls for pre-sterilized components.
• Provide technical guidance during design reviews and stakeholder discussions.
• Assess contamination risks, environmental excursions, and process vulnerabilities while recommending effective control measures.
• Support equipment and process strategies that align with EU GMP Annex 1 and industry best practices.

• Significant experience supporting aseptic manufacturing, aseptic processing, fill/finish operations, or combination-product manufacturing within regulated pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device environments.
• Hands-on experience developing processes from early-stage concept through qualification and validation.
• Expertise with ISO 5 / Grade A environments, Biological Safety Cabinets (BSCs), or other controlled-environment manufacturing systems.
• Experience developing User Requirement Specifications (URS) and equipment requirements for aseptic manufacturing operations.
• Strong knowledge of contamination control principles and aseptic process design.
• Demonstrated experience performing and leading risk assessments, including pFMEA or similar methodologies.
• Experience collaborating with equipment vendors, contract manufacturers, and technical stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of EU GMP Annex 1 requirements and their application within modern aseptic manufacturing environments.
• Ability to identify contamination risks and translate technical findings into practical solutions and design requirements.
• Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to influence multidisciplinary teams and clients.

• Experience supporting aseptic fill/finish operations or combination-product manufacturing programs.
• Familiarity with novel decontamination or sterilization technologies.
• Experience conducting feasibility studies and translating findings into manufacturing strategies.
• Experience supporting facility, equipment, or line design projects.
