2x Scientist - Technical Operations

2x Scientist - Technical Operations

Location: Bern, Switzerland

We are seeking a scientifically driven professional to design, plan, execute, and document laboratory studies that support bioprocess development and lifecycle management. In this role, you will investigate and assess process and product deviations at manufacturing scale, identify and evaluate opportunities for process optimization, and support the implementation of process improvements and alternative materials. You will apply strong experimental design principles, perform rigorous data analysis, and communicate clear, well‑supported technical conclusions. This position operates within a regulated GxP environment and plays a key role in enabling robust, science‑based decision‑making.

Main Responsibilities & Accountabilities

• Design, plan, and execute scientifically sound experimental studies to support deviation investigations, process optimization, and evaluation of alternative materials.
• Perform literature searches on relevant scientific topics, summarize findings, and present conclusions to cross-functional teams.
• Develop experimental study designs including definition of readouts, experimental setup, material requirements, sample numbers, analytes, and statistical evaluation methods.
• Apply Quality by Design (QbD) principles and tools (e.g., pFMEA, CQA, CPP) to experimental design and data interpretation.
• Prepare materials, equipment, and protocols for laboratory studies using scale-down models and single unit operations.
• Conduct laboratory-scale protein purification and processing experiments, including chromatography, ultrafiltration/diafiltration, precipitation, and filtration.
• Collect, label, distribute, and document samples; ensure accurate data capture and traceability in electronic lab notebooks (ELN).
• Analyze experimental data using appropriate statistical methods and communicate results in the form of technical reports and presentations.
• Collaborate closely with technical leads, internal stakeholders, and cross-site teams to support project objectives.
• Operate in compliance with applicable regulatory, safety, and data integrity requirements.

Job Specifications & Requirements

• Bachelor’s or postgraduate degree in a relevant scientific discipline (e.g., biochemistry, biotechnology, chemical engineering, or related field), and/or extensive relevant professional experience.
• Minimum of 3 years of laboratory experience with training in a relevant technical discipline.
• Demonstrated experience in protein purification techniques, including chromatography, ultrafiltration/diafiltration, depth filtration, and protein precipitation.
• Strong knowledge of protein formulation and stability in solution.
• Proficiency in experimental design and statistical analysis (e.g., Design of Experiments, applied statistics) using relevant software tools.
• Experience with deviation management systems (e.g., Veeva Vault or similar) and retrieval of key deviation information.
• Familiarity with scientific literature databases (e.g., PubMed) and reference management tools.
• Experience working with electronic lab notebooks (ELN) and within biohazard laboratory environments.
• Strong skills in scientific data analysis, technical report writing, and presentation of results.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office applications (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).

We look forward to receiving your application dossier, including your CV, cover letter, diplomas, and relevant work certificates. Please combine all documents into a single PDF file before submitting.
