## About the Role

1. Experience with tech transfer, manufacturing automation, recipe design, control strategies, and batch execution workflows; specifically batch process experience, not continuous process control.
 2. Minimum 6 years of hands-on, batch-specific DeltaV configuration experience (not continuous), plus working knowledge of MES, data integration, and digital manufacturing architectures.
 3. Pharmaceutical or life sciences manufacturing experience; Small Molecule experience specifically preferred, with biologics, advanced therapies, or multi-modality experience considered a plus.
 4. Capability in data modeling, information architecture, knowledge representation, or related digital-knowledge disciplines.
 5. Experience bridging process knowledge and digital execution systems without over-reliance on custom application development.
 6. Experience designing modular, reusable technical frameworks rather than one-off implementations.
 7. Hands-on experience with AI or machine learning tools in an regulated technical environment, with the aptitude and willingness to grow into more advanced AI-driven workflows (e.g. agentic architectures).
 8. Ability to work iteratively using real process examples, user feedback, and rapid learning cycles.
 9. Strong cross-functional engagement skills with automation, process engineering, operations, PT&E, quality, and related stakeholder groups.

Preferred Capabilities

 * AI-enabled analysis, decision support, or knowledge-system experience in regulated technical environments; particularly agentic architecture and coding experience (e.g. Claude Code, Codex).
 * Change-management, training, and governance experience to help operationalize adoption across functions.
 * Familiarity with data integrity principles (ALCOA+) and data governance frameworks.
 * Experience with Kneat, ValGenesis, or similar electronic validation management systems.
