We are searching for the best talent for a Scientist in the Process Analytical Sciences team located in Malvern, PA.

The Scientist, Process Analytical Sciences (PAS), is part of the Analytical Development (AD) Proteins organization and is responsible for accelerating large-molecule development by delivering phase-appropriate analytical testing at scale—combining high-throughput methods, automation, and streamlined data workflows to meet program timelines.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct execution of protein-based analytical assays for biologics drug development to quantify size variants, excipient content, charge variants, bioactivity, etc.
• Troubleshoot instrumentation issues; perform root-cause investigations with SMEs/vendors and implement corrective actions.
• Thrive in a team setting in a dynamic environment, contribute technical expertise to multiple large molecule programs, be proficient with documentation, and review of analytical data
• Design and deploy Tecan-automated sample prep workflows supporting protein-based assays and day-to-day analytical testing needs.
• Create and maintain Tecan scripts/methods (liquid classes, labware definitions, prompts, sample sheets, error handling) for reliable execution.
• Train and mentor end-users to run and maintain scripts; publish templates and standard processes to build shared capability.
• Evaluate and pilot new automation devices/integrations; summarize feasibility results and recommend expansions to workflow scope.

Qualifications

Education:

Minimum of a bachelor's degree in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, engineering, or related scientific/technical field with 3-5 years of relevant industry experience or a master's degree with 1-3 years of experience.

Experience and Skills:
