  • Coordinate mechanical, controls, automation, process, validation, and manufacturing teams
  • Translate customer and regulatory requirements into system specifications
  • Lead system integration, design reviews, FMEAs, and technical risk assessments
  • Support FAT, SAT, manufacturing, commissioning, and field activities
  • Partner with customers to resolve technical issues and improve system performance
  • Review technical documentation and engineering specifications
  • Help standardize engineering processes and improve system reliability
What We're Looking For

  • 8+ years designing or integrating complex pharmaceutical, biotech, or regulated process equipment
Experience with:
  • Systems integration
  • Mechanical & controls engineering
  • GMP/FDA regulated environments
  • FMEA and design reviews
  • Cross-functional technical leadership
Preferred Experience

  • Lyophilization systems
  • IQ/OQ validation
  • Requirements management / Systems Engineering
  • SolidWorks or Creo
  • Vacuum, thermal, refrigeration, or pressure vessel equipment
Why You'll Love This Role
  • Own complete systems—not just individual components
  • High visibility with customers and engineering leadership
  • Influence system architecture and technical strategy
  • Clear path into Principal Engineer or Technical Leadership roles
  • Support technology used to manufacture life-saving pharmaceutical products
Compensation & Benefits
  • $145,000–$175,000 salary
