The Trellis team is looking for a motivated and skilled Bioprocess Engineer to perform downstream process (DSP) development and implement innovative bioprocessing solutions. Our goal? To meet the needs of modern-day vector production.

As an expert in downstream purification for AAV vectors, you will

• optimize the DSP for AAV vectors including clarification, chromatography purification and formulation using existing and newly developed technologies as well as those developed in-house
• design and implement scale-up methodologies for AAV vector purification with quality, yield and cost-efficiency in mind
• apply bioprocess engineering strategies to optimize the AAV purification methods towards GMP-compatible standards
• investigate and develop novel technologies in the current manufacturing process
• write and review technical documents including SOPs and reports of the DSP activities.

But of course, you’re also a team player.

• You are responsible for AAV vector manufacture for internal projects as well as for collaborations with external partners in biotech and pharma.
• You will work with the quality team responsible for AAV vector analytics.
• Training and managing a small team of technicians is also part of your job.
• And you will effectively communicate the info gathered from your data analysis and report back to the relevant team members and collaborators.
