RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIST - Biomedical R&D

Who We Are:

The Bioengineering Section within the Pharmaceuticals and Bioengineering Department focuses on the research, development, and pilot manufacturing of medical devices, biomaterials, and biopharmaceuticals, as well as the tools and processes that enable them.

Objectives of this Role:

• Support scientific and engineering innovation by translating experimental designs into accurate, repeatable laboratory work.
• Ensure that research activities are conducted efficiently, safely, and in alignment with project goals, regulatory expectations, and quality standards.
• Maintain equipment, materials, and lab environments in a state of compliance and readiness.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Perform routine and advanced laboratory experiments following established protocols (SOPs, study plans).
• Support biomanufacturing upstream and downstream processes (e.g., cell culture, bioreactors, purification, formulation).
• Operate and maintain analytical and process equipment (e.g., bioreactors, chromatography systems, TFF, spectrophotometers, flow cytometers).
• Follow laboratory safety procedures, biosafety requirements, and chemical hygiene plans. Work under GLP, cGMP, ISO 13485, or research QMS as required.
• Maintain cleanroom or controlled environment practices where applicable.
• Support scientists and engineers in process development, scale-up, and technology transfer activities.
• Support pilot-scale manufacturing or engineering runs.

Requirements:

• Requires an Associates or a Bachelors degree in Applied Science & Technology or Health Sciences Laboratory Technology.
• Those with a Bachelors degree require at least 5 years of experience in health science laboratory.
• Those with an Associates degree require 25 years of related experience.
• 5 years: Skilled in conducting a wide range of biomedical related tests across hematology, microbiology, chemistry, and immunology.
• 5 years: Operating and maintaining advanced laboratory equipment, implementing quality control measures, and managing inventory to ensure uninterrupted lab operations.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
