We are seeking an Operations Engineer / Production Scientist to support peptide manufacturing at our Menlo Park site. This role will serve as a technical process owner on the manufacturing floor, with a primary focus on Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS), synthesis, cleavage, purification, and lyophilization.
You will be responsible for monitoring, analyzing, troubleshooting, and continuously improving peptide manufacturing processes. This role partners closely with Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering to improve yield and throughput, reduce process variability, support robust GMP operations, and drive data-based decision-making across the manufacturing process.
The ideal candidate brings strong peptide manufacturing or API process experience, a hands-on manufacturing mindset, and the ability to use process data, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement tools to improve manufacturing performance.
