Job Summary

Build and scale mammalian protein expression and purification for an automated lab platform, with a focus on CHO/HEK (transient and stable). Optimize hands-on expression to improve titer, quality, and reproducibility, and own purification across Protein A, IEX, and SEC. Productize the workflow into a high-throughput, predictable capability while collaborating with lab automation and software teams to track samples and make production observable.
Location: Switzerland
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Research & Scientific (R&D)

Key Responsibilities

  • •Develop, optimize, and run mammalian expression hands-on (CHO/HEK; transient and stable), improving titer, quality, and reproducibility.
  • •Own purification across modalities (Protein A, IEX, SEC) and ensure the quality of proteins shipped.
  • •Turn expression and purification into a productized, high-throughput, automated capability with predictable turnaround.
  • •Partner with lab automation to scale workflows onto automated systems and reduce manual, person-dependent steps.
  • •Work with the software team to track samples and process parameters and make yields and quality observable and improvable.

Key Requirements

  • •Deep, hands-on expertise in mammalian protein expression and purification (CHO/HEK), from construct through purified, characterized protein.
  • •Applied industry experience running expression and purification in a production/industrial setting where yield, reproducibility, and turnaround mattered at scale.
  • •Track record of making production reliable, including titer optimization, scale-up, and consistent quality (not one-off preps).
  • •Willingness to build and continuously improve a production capability, not run a fixed protocol.
  • •Interdisciplinary collaboration with automation engineers and software teams; automation and data as core to production.
