Act as process SME for designated area of biologics manufacturing for the technical center. Interprets problems and either creates or modifies design solutions. Reviews existing layouts and standards and creates a proposed design. Applies standard engineering principles and methodologies to interpret, draw conclusions and recommend solutions for problems considering a broad range of factors. Improves methods/designs/processes. Recognizes and implements innovations and cost reductions. Routinely read and apply relevant scientific literature. Impact projects mostly through lab and/or site activities where applicable. Contribute to writing and conceptual framework of technical protocols, reports, publications and presentations. Conveys information effectively through verbal, written, and presentations to stakeholders and team members, both internal and external to Client, using appropriate communication protocols. Identifies ways to increase customer satisfaction. Documents agreements and commitments and keeps direct customers informed throughout the project or initiative. Innovate and implement new experimental protocols. Plans and conducts small-sized assigned projects within engineering specialty requiring conventional types of plans, investigations, and/or equipment. Implements plans; initiates execution of own work plan; monitors executions for adherence to plan, documents work status and reports to management with appropriate frequency. Coordinates with technical support personnel to conduct prototype or experimental runs of products or processes Demonstrate a high level of proficiency in his/her field. Keep aware of the changing technical and competitive environment as it relates to the business and share with co-workers. Participates and/or assists other engineers in the design of products/processes/equipment/systems/ facilities by applying standard engineering theories, concepts, and techniques within the discipline. Investigates, conducts tests, gathers data, performs preliminary analysis, report findings, and prepares and communicates recommendations and respective action plans. Learn, understand, and master new experimental techniques, and act as a resource or mentor for others. Set and meet experimental timelines. Implements plans; initiates execution of own work plan; monitors executions for adherence to plan, documents work status and reports to management with appropriate frequency. Coordinates with technical support personnel to conduct prototype or experimental runs of products or processes. Effectively organize and present scientific plans and data.
