Overview
At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We put people first and seek individuals determined to make life better for people around the world. Lilly recently announced a $4.5 billion investment to create the Lilly Medicine Foundry, a new center for advanced manufacturing and drug development. The first-ever facility of its kind, the Foundry will allow Lilly to develop solutions to optimize manufacturing processes, increase capacity for clinical trial medicines, and reduce costs and environmental impact. The Engineer - Automation Engineering will work as a member of the Automation Engineering Department at Eli Lilly, Foundry. The engineer will provide automation support for one or more operating areas across site and/or for capital projects. Process automation is core to delivering a right-first-time facility start-up and continued support of ongoing manufacturing operations. The Engineer is responsible for the productivity and mentorship of the employees to ensure reliable and compliant control applications and systems are used in the manufacturing at Foundry. The Senior Principal Engineer acts as a key technical expert with partners to influence and implement within the process control organization to support the process control technical agenda, business plan priorities, and compliance objectives. In the project delivery and startup phases (startup expected 2025 to 2028), automation engineering roles will be fluid and dynamic as we support project delivery, build a new organization, develop and implement the necessary systems and business processes required to support GMP operations, and build the site culture for full-scale GMP manufacturing at startup.
