  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and computer skills.

Responsibilities

  • Provide process engineering support for capital projects including design, development, and validation activities.
  • Develop and analyze process designs and serve as a subject matter expert on process and equipment.
  • Author, review, and maintain technical documentation such as user requirement specifications and safety assessments.
  • Provide technical support for manufacturing operations and ensure issues are documented and resolved.
  • Monitor and maintain processes and equipment in a validated state to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
  • Use data-driven analysis to evaluate process performance and implement improvements.
  • Assess the impact of process changes on product quality and regulatory compliance.

Time-off and flexibility typically include generous PTO, U.S. mid-year and year-end paid shutdown weeks, parental leave, and flexible/remote work options.
