The supervisor leads a team of Process Engineers who provide technical support to routine manufacturing, investigate process-related issues, drive process improvements and maintain strong process understanding throughout the product lifecycle.\nWorking closely with Manufacturing, Quality, MSAT, Equipment Engineering, Automation, NPI and other technical functions, the supervisor ensures that scientific and engineering knowledge is translated into practical solutions that improve process performance, product quality, reliability and manufacturing efficiency.\nSpecific Responsibilities - Process Engineering\nLead, coach and develop the DSP Process Engineering team, creating clear priorities, ownership and accountability.\nEnsure strong technical ownership and process understanding across DSP manufacturing processes.\nProvide direction and prioritization for routine manufacturing support, investigations, change controls, process improvements and technical projects.\nEnsure timely and effective technical support to Manufacturing, particularly for process deviations, unexpected trends and complex operational issues.\nDrive structured problem solving and robust root-cause analysis for process-related deviations, non-conformances and recurring manufacturing issues.\nEnsure technical investigations move beyond identifying what happened to establishing why it happened and how recurrence can be prevented.\nUse process data, trends and scientific knowledge to proactively identify emerging risks and improvement opportunities.\nDrive continuous improvement of process robustness, capability, consistency and manufacturing efficiency.\nSupport assessment and implementation of process changes through appropriate GMP change-control processes.\nEnsure appropriate technical input into deviations, CAPAs, risk assessments and other quality-system activities.\nSupport maintenance of the validated state and continued process verification activities in collaboration with MSAT and Quality.\nStrengthen understanding of CPPs, CQAs, process controls and their relationship to manufacturing performance and product quality.\nEnsure Process Engineers maintain strong shop-floor presence through Gemba and close collaboration with Manufacturing.\nTranslate complex process data and technical findings into clear recommendations and actions for Manufacturing and leadership.\nPartner closely with Equipment Engineering and Automation where process performance depends on equipment or control-system capability.\nCollaborate with NPI and MSAT to ensure knowledge from new-product introductions and process changes is effectively transferred into routine manufacturing.\nPromote standardization, knowledge sharing and consistent engineering approaches across products and processes.\nBuild technical capability within Manufacturing by coaching and sharing process knowledge with operational teams.\nFoster a culture where Process Engineers are proactive technical owners rather than reactive problem solvers.\nAdditional Responsibilities\nAssess current and future process-engineering capability needs and develop the technical competencies of the team.\nEstablish priorities across operational support, compliance commitments, process improvements and longer-term technical initiatives.\nIdentify recurring manufacturing challenges and develop improvement roadmaps to address systemic process issues.\nPropose and lead projects that improve process robustness, quality, reliability, capacity or manufacturing efficiency.\nSupport development of business cases and secure resources for technical improvement initiatives.\nDrive adoption of data analytics and digital tools to improve process monitoring, troubleshooting and decision-making.\nBenchmark and introduce relevant scientific, engineering and operational best practices.\nMinimum Qualifications\nRelevant Bachelor’s and/or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Process Engineering or another relevant scientific/engineering discipline with at least 9 and/or 7 years of relevant experience respectively.\nExperience within pharmaceutical, biotechnology or another highly regulated manufacturing environment.\nExperience in process engineering, manufacturing sciences, manufacturing support or a comparable technical role.\nDemonstrated experience solving complex technical or manufacturing problems.\nUnderstanding of GMP manufacturing and pharmaceutical quality systems.\nDemonstrated ability to lead people, projects or multidisciplinary technical teams.\nEnglish language proficiency at B2 level or above.\nStrong communication, collaboration and stakeholder-management skills.\nPreferred Qualifications\nBiopharmaceutical downstream processing, including chromatography, filtration, UF/DF/TFF, viral clearance, buffer preparation or bulk/formulation operations.\nProcess characterization and process validation.\nContinued Process Verification and process trending.\nDeviations, CAPAs, change controls and technical investigations.\nStructured root-cause analysis and risk-management methodologies.\nStatistical process analysis, data analytics and process monitoring.\nMES, DeltaV or other digital manufacturing/process-control systems.\nLean, Six Sigma or Operational Excellence.\nTechnology transfer or New Product Introduction.\nPrevious formal people-leadership experience.\nWhat Makes You Successful\nWe’re looking for someone who:\nEnjoys developing technical people and building a strong engineering team.\nHas genuine curiosity about why a process behaves the way it does.\nCombines scientific thinking with pragmatic manufacturing decision-making.\nCan turn process data into insight and insight into action.\nChallenges recurring problems rather than accepting them as part of manufacturing.\nIs comfortable making risk-based decisions when all information is not yet available.\nBuilds strong relationships with Manufacturing and spends time where the process actually happens.\nCan communicate complex technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nCreates ownership within the team rather than personally becoming the owner of every problem.\nBalances immediate manufacturing needs with longer-term process robustness.\nCreates an environment where engineers challenge, learn, collaborate and continuously improve.\nWhat You’ll Lead\nYou will lead the DSP Process Engineering team, responsible for the technical stewardship and continuous improvement of downstream manufacturing processes.\nThe team operates at the intersection of Manufacturing, Quality, MSAT, Equipment Engineering, Automation and NPI, providing technical leadership from day-to-day manufacturing support and investigations through longer-term process improvements.\nWhat the Role Offers\nThis role provides the opportunity to:\nLead and develop a team of highly skilled Process Engineers.\nBecome a key technical leader within a complex biologics manufacturing organization.\nInfluence the performance and robustness of commercial downstream manufacturing processes.\nWork with sophisticated biologics processes and manufacturing technologies.\nSolve challenging technical problems with direct impact on manufacturing and patients.\nUse process data and digital technologies to improve manufacturing decision-making.\nLead improvements from shop-floor observation through scientific analysis to implementation.\nCollaborate with experts across Manufacturing, Quality, MSAT, NPI, Engineering and Digital.\nCombine people leadership, scientific expertise and operational impact in one role.\nBuild experience that can support future development into broader technical, manufacturing or organizational leadership positions.\nRequired Skills:\nPreferred Skills:\nAgile Decision Making,
