How You Will Achieve More With Intellia:

As a Senior Process Engineer I, you will join the LNP Process Sciences group, where we develop lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations to deliver curative CRISPR gene editing therapeutics. This role presents a unique opportunity to lead the efforts of bringing curative gene editing therapies to patients who need them, specifically in contributing to the manufacturing of material supporting clinical trials. The responsibilities of the role will include process development and validation for the LNP process, person-in-plant support for LNP production, and potential laboratory work as needed to support process development activities.

• Oversee the manufacture of LNP drug products and CRISPR-Cas9 drug substance molecules at external CDMOs.

• Collaboration with CDMOs and person-in-plant work supporting tech transfer, Phase 1 clinical material generation, and Phase 3 pivotal trial material leading into process validation campaigns.

• Review executed master batch records, change orders, quality documents, and other external documentation received from CDMOs.

• Work with External Manufacturing and Supply Chain to update program teams on material supply

• Engage other members of the LNP Process Science team to work on continued manufacturing technology improvements and novel process development.

• Perform hands-on work in the LNP process development laboratory as needed to support process improvement and characterization.

• Contribute to authoring of regulatory documentation to support clinical trials.

• Position may require up to 10% domestic/international travel.
