Scientist

Target PR Range: 29-39/hr DOE

We are seeking a motivated Scientist in mass spectrometry-based protein characterization to join our talented, collaborative team in Thousand Oaks, California. In this vital role, you will support clients from the full lifecycle biopharmaceutical product development from discovery to commercial product support.

You will contribute across both pipeline advancement and automated-platform innovation by developing, implementing, and continuously improving cutting-edge, high performance automated workflows. This work includes automated sample preparation, mass spectrometry data acquisition and analysis across diverse assay formats, and the design and optimization of next-generation analytical platforms.

The successful candidate will bring strong hands-on expertise in protein characterization mass spectrometry systems, along with a rigorous scientific mindset, sound troubleshooting skills, and an enthusiasm for collaborative drug development. Your work will support unique contributions to automate and strengthen LC-MS support for the broader pipeline.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform peptide mapping, intact mass, and other LC-MS studies to support characterizing candidate molecules to support protein primary structure as well as characterizing drug candidate chemical and post-translational modifications (quality attributes).
• Participate in the maintenance of Structural Analytics instruments and assist the Attribute Sciences department in maintaining a phase appropriate good manufacturing practices (GMP) environment

• This position is also responsible for providing scientific results that support the generation of regulatory submissions, patents, and publications and exploring and evaluating emerging technologies relevant to MS-based characterization of therapeutic proteins.
• Maintain accurate, organized, and timely documentation of experiments, protocols, methods, and data analyses.
• This position is also responsible for providing scientific results that support the generation of regulatory submissions, patents, and publications and exploring and evaluating emerging technologies relevant to MS-based characterization of therapeutic proteins.
• Additional role of intermittently helping with small molecule release testing in a GMP environment

We are all different, yet we all use our unique contributions to serve patients. The Scientist we seek is a scientifically driven, collaborative, and innovative LC-MS expert.
