  • Participate in client meetings, technical workshops, and planning sessions related to process definition, capacity planning, and operational strategy.
  • Support compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, including GMP / GxP expectations and relevant industry guidelines.
  • Review process-related design deliverables to ensure alignment with defined process requirements and overall project objectives.
  • Participate in multidisciplinary coordination reviews to resolve process-related design challenges.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, manufacturing platforms, and best practices across life sciences modalities.

Requirements
