Serves as the single point of contact for complex technical issues requiring independent judgment.

Job Responsibilities

Process & Equipment Improvement

• Independently owns technical processes across multiple assigned IDAP products and lines; proactively identifies and resolves process gaps and drives convergence to one technical process without direction from senior engineers.
• Independently identifies and leads continuous improvement workstreams across multiple IDAP processes, applying structured problem-solving (e.g., DMAIC, RCA) to define root causes and drive improvements.
• Independently leads Manufacturing and Facility improvement initiatives for assigned IDAP process areas, defining equipment capability requirements, driving utilization improvements, and managing the full asset lifecycle.
• Independently manages engineering projects from initiation to completion for assigned IDAP processes, developing project justification and proposals, managing resources and timelines, and contributing to capital planning.

Validation & Technical Support

• Independently leads technology transfer and validation activities for assigned processes from commissioning through PPQ, owning success criteria definition, process characterization, and capability assessment at each phase gate.
• Authors, reviews, and independently approves URS, FAT, SAT, commissioning, and IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and reports for assigned process areas.
• Leads validation activities and periodic reviews for assigned processes, independently evaluating compliance status and driving corrective actions.
• Leads complex technical troubleshooting across multiple IDAP processes, developing systematic approaches to recurring issues, including on-call support as required.
• Independently manages external technical relationships with equipment and material suppliers for assigned IDAP processes, evaluating supplier solutions and driving resolution of technical issues without escalation.

Quality Systems & Compliance

• Independently leads change control development and implementation for assigned process areas, evaluating cross-functional impact and applying risk-based judgment to change decisions.
• Independently performs and maintains risk management activities for assigned processes, applying structured risk assessment tools to prioritize mitigation activities.

• Coaches and mentors Process Engineer I and II engineers on technical processes, GMP practices, and problem-solving methodology.

Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrated GMP experience in a regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment, with the ability to independently apply controlled procedures, quality standards, and deviation management practices.
• Prior training or hands-on experience in one or more IDAP-relevant technologies, such as automation/controls (PLCs, HMI, computerized systems), aseptic/controlled environments, packaging equipment, process or cleaning validation, or change control.
• Demonstrated proficiency in more than one of the following disciplines: automation/controls, aseptic/packaging equipment, process/materials, maintenance, or validation.
• Demonstrated ability to coach and mentor peers on technical processes, GMP practices, and problem-solving methodology.
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead technical troubleshooting and continuous improvement efforts for assigned IDAP processes.

Preferred Qualifications
