Bio-Process Development Engineer
We are seeking a highly motivated bio-process development engineer to join a translational academic lab focused on the large-scale production of lab-grown red blood cells (lgRBCs). This role lies at the intersection of stem cell biology, erythropoiesis, and bioprocess engineering, with direct applications in transfusion medicine and cell-based therapeutics. Work Activities Drive the development of scalable red blood cell manufacturing platforms Culture and differentiate stem or progenitor cells under defined conditions Apply CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to engineer erythroid cells Design and operate bioreactor systems for high-density perfusion culture Optimize protocols for erythroid differentiation, expansion, and harvest Contribute to experimental design, data analysis, and manuscript preparation Collaborate with internal and external partners on translational applications Maintain clear documentation and assist in grant and patent applications Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology with 3 years experience; Master's degree preferred. Experience Required Extensive experience with mammalian cell culture (stem/progenitor cells preferred) Demonstrated ability to work independently and solve complex problems Familiarity with erythroid biology, iPSC/HSPC differentiation, or hematopoiesis Proficiency with genome editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 Experience with bioreactor systems, perfusion culture, or bioprocess scale-up Engineering background in bioengineering, chemical engineering, or related field Experience working in biotech, CDMO, or GMP-adjacent environments Preferred Qualification Familiarity with red blood cell phenotyping or transfusion medicine Prior involvement in translational or interdisciplinary research projects Interest in commercialization and startup participation Minimum Salary Range USD $70,000.00/Yr. Maximum Salary Range USD $75,000.00/Yr.
