About the role

Description
Your Responsibilities: Perform physicochemical and biochemical characterization of biologics using a variety of analytical techniques, including HPLC/UPLC, isoelectric focusing (IEF), capillary electrophoresis (CE), spectroscopic methods, biochemical assays, and binding/kinetic assays. Support day-to-day laboratory operations, including sample receipt and tracking, troubleshooting, and performance monitoring of analytical instrumentation, including chromatography systems, electrophoresis platforms, microplate readers, and other laboratory equipment. Independently design and execute laboratory studies, analyze and interpret data, troubleshoot analytical challenges, and communicate findings through technical reports, presentations, and team discussions. Prepare and maintain assay reagents, reference standards, controls, and other materials required to support analytical testing activities. Maintain accurate and compliant laboratory records, electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), experimental protocols, and supporting documentation in accordance with company procedures and quality standards. Collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the timely delivery of high-quality analytical results and project milestones.
Requirements: Master's or bachelor's degree in chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related scientific discipline with 2-5 years (MSc.) or 4-6 years (BSc.) of relevant industry experience. Demonstrated hands-on experience with analytical characterization techniques, particularly chromatography (U/HPLC), electrophoretic and isoelectric focusing (PA 800 Plus/Maurice), is required. Experience working in a CRO and/or GMP Quality Control (QC) environment is highly desirable. Proficiency with Waters Empower chromatography data software is a strong plus. Working knowledge of biotherapeutic analytical development (e.g., method qualification and/or validation and assay transfer).Experience with additional biophysical characterization techniques, such as SEC-MALS, DSC, circular dichroism (CD), FT-IR, or MFI, and/or LC-MS-based characterization of biotherapeutics is highly desirable but not required. Ability to independently plan and execute experiments while managing multiple priorities and maintaining timelines in a fast-paced environment. Ability to work successfully in both a team/matrix environment as well as independently. Experience with the analytical characterization of oligonucleotides a plus.

Benefits: Comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (vacation, holidays, sick), medical/dental/vision insurance and 401(k) to eligible employees.
Work Environment: Laboratory-based position in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment. Category Operations

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
