- You are an innovator and ready to help new approaches to the discovery and development of therapeutics
- You have a strong desire to support early antibody discovery work by developing ways to improve and speed up the discovery to CMC development to GMP manufacturing paradigm
- You are ready to revolutionize therapeutic development and move at lightning speed to create a legacy in our industry
- You are an outstanding communicator and teammate
- You are highly motivated and excited about the opportunity to work with an inspired team on challenging problems that matter

**How you might spend your days**
- Setting up, optimizing, and maintaining mass spectrometry instrumentation
- Designing, developing and, when necessary, qualifying LC-MS-based analytical methods in support of bioprocess development activities (cell line development, upstream/downstream process development, pharmaceutical development)
- Performing detailed protein characterization including amino acid sequence confirmation, identification and quantitation of post-translational modifications, disulfide bond mapping and integrity analysis, sequence variant analysis, intact/reduced mass analysis, etc
- Communicating within and across organizations to align methodology and share analytical findings
- Publishing and communicating technical reports reflecting MS-based investigations and findings
- Leading method transfers to or co-qualifications with other testing labs, investigations, test performance monitoring/trending, and be responsible for the quality and scientific integrity of data generated in their assigned area
- Supporting CMC projects, ensuring responsibilities are completed on-time and in alignment with GxP expectations (21 CFR part 11 compliance, documentation, etc)

**Required Skills and Experience**:

- A BSc in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related field with 2-5 years of experience or MSc with 0 to 2 years of experience in an academic or industry wet lab environment
- Hands on experience with mass spectrometry, preferably high resolution mass spectrometry
- Experience with intact mass analysis, peptide mapping, and PTM analysis
- Familiarity with disulfide mapping, glycan mapping, sequence variant analysis, or other related methods would be an advantage
- Experience or familiarity with analytical platforms such as Byos, Empower, Xcalibur, etc.
- Expertise in operating, calibrating, maintaining and troubleshooting LC-MS equipment as well as other instrumentation used in protein analytics
- Familiarity with analytical chromatography (HPLC/UPLC) coupled to various non-MS detectors (e.g. PDA/DAD, FLD, ELSD, MALS/QELS) is preferred
- General familiarity with protein electrophoresis and protein chemistry/biophysical methods (CE-SDS, iCIEF, etc)
- Familiarity with regulatory guidelines and practices (FDA, EMA, ICH, etc) is desired
- Experience and proficiency with ELNs (IDBS, Benchling, etc)
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to work in a collaborative, matrixed environment and to build partnerships across project teams.
- Experience in analytical method validation/transfer, data management, automation, and basic statistics.
- Familiarity with testing in compliance with current electronic data integrity regulations.
