This position is located in New Albany, OH OR Gilbert, AZ. You must work onsite Monday-Friday. 

The shift is 9:00am -5:00pm local time.

You Will:

Process Design & Optimization

• Design and optimize sterile injectable compounding processes for HD and NHD products, focusing on aseptic technique, fluid path design, and containment.

• Select and integrate equipment including laminar flow hoods, oRABS, peristaltic pumps, and filtration units with consideration for single-use vs. reusable components.

• Perform risk assessments (e.g., FMEA), identify CPPs and CQAs, and apply Lean and Six Sigma methodologies.

• Conduct time studies, process mapping, and capacity analysis to streamline batch production and reduce waste.

• Apply principles of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement (Kaizen, Six Sigma) to compounding and fill/finish workflows.

Sterile Compounding & Aseptic Practices

• Support aseptic technique development and batch execution for terminally sterilized and aseptically filled products.

• Collaborate with cleanroom personnel on proper gowning, material/personnel flow, and HEPA-filtered environment controls.

• Work with QA to ensure compliance with USP <797>, <800>, NIOSH, and cGMP requirements for hazardous drug handling and containment.

Equipment & Facility Support

• Specify and support installation and qualification of compounding equipment such as biosafety cabinets (BSCs), laminar airflow workstations (LAFW), autoclaves, filtration units, and isolators.

• Partner with validation teams on IQ/OQ/PQ for sterile compounding equipment and critical systems.

• Assist in airflow visualization studies, pressure differential control, and HVAC balancing for sterile suites.

Process Validation & Equipment Qualification

• Develop process validation protocols (PV) for new and existing products and participate in execution and data analysis.

• Author and maintain SOPs, batch records, deviation reports, and process change documentation in compliance with internal procedures and regulatory expectations.

• Support cleaning validation, media fill simulations, and environmental monitoring investigations when deviations occur.

• Participate in IQOQ execution activities onsite for protocol execution and work with QA teams to ensure requirements are checked per compliance and signoff is obtained. 

Regulatory Compliance & Documentation

• Ensure all activities comply with USP <797>, <800>, FDA cGMP, and ISO standards (e.g., ISO 14644).

• Prepare and maintain SOPs, risk assessments, deviation reports, CAPAs, and change control documentation.

Technology Transfer & Collaboration

• Lead technology transfer efforts for new injectable products into manufacturing.

• Collaborate with QA, validation, pharmacy, engineering, and manufacturing teams to ensure successful implementation and operational readiness.

Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement

• Analyze process data to monitor trends and drive continuous improvement in compounding performance and efficiency.

• Troubleshoot equipment malfunctions, process deviations, and facility issues impacting sterile production.

Audit Readiness

• Ensure documentation and systems are audit-ready for internal audits and external inspections by FDA or State Boards.

• Participate in regulatory inspections and provide technical support regarding process design and validation.

You Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
