Staff Engineer - Cell Culture and Medium Development

The Cell Culture and Medium Development Group within Preclinical Manufacturing and Process Development (PMPD) is looking for a motivated person to lead projects for medium development. The Cell Culture & Medium Development (CCMD) group focuses on identifying the optimum combination of medium and feed, cell lines, and bioreactor scale-independent parameters at the benchtop scale for candidate, clinical, and commercial production processes. CCMD also develops new technology platforms and medium formulations for improved process productivity and quality. In this role, you will lead efforts to improve cell culture medium to support the extensive Regeneron clinical pipeline. The ability to lead medium development projects, manage a team, design experiments, statistically interpret results, and communicate findings is required.

We are looking for an engineer that will work collaboratively to develop novel approaches in the area of medium development.

• Investigate novel approaches to improve media formulations
• Develop predictive models of the bioreactor process that are used to predict improved medium formulations

• Generate, manage, analyze, and maintain critical data in a highly organized manner
• Collaborate with colleagues from other groups involved in the research process, including cell line development, bioreactor scale-up, purification, and manufacturing.
• The position requires work on weekends and occasional travel to upstate NY

• You have strong initiative and drive to complete challenging tasks and learn new technologies.
• You are capable of multi-tasking, working both independently and within a team environment.

This role requires a BS or MS in Chemical Engineering or Bio-related Engineering with 8+ years of experience in a laboratory or data analytics setting, with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
