Position Summary & Responsibilities

Resilience is ushering in an era of “Biomanufacturing-as-a-Service” that we expect will displace in-house manufacturing as well as traditional contract manufacturing and development organizations (CDMOs). We see this as a paradigm shift in biomanufacturing akin to the IT industry’s adoption of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that rendered obsolete corporate-owned/operated data centers or corporate servers co-located in hosting facilities.

As a Manufacturing Systems Engineer on Site Digital team you will bring to realization the Resilience digital and automation strategy across the manufacturing network. You’ll work with manufacturing, supply chain, quality and other key stakeholders to define the requirements for the next generation of manufacturing systems implementation. This includes leading the specification, configuration, administration, and maintenance of the manufacturing systems platforms. You will be a key collaborator within the Digital team to ensure integrations of all required systems is achieved. You'll need a strong sense of curiosity and growth mindset with a willingness to share and brainstorm new ways to do things.
