We are partnered with reagents and diagnostic materials manufacturer, including enzymes, antibodies, antigens, and lateral-flow test components, supporting billions of tests annually. The company is well-established, operates worldwide, and offering custom assay development, antibody production, and ISO 13485-certified manufacturing. Responsibilities Collaborate with the product management team to assess technical requirements and difficulties in meeting customer segment requirements Co-design and implementation of product requirements in clearly defined and scheduled development plans Leading and promoting technical project discussions, as well as advice and support to move projects forward faster Development of strategies for the expression of recombinant proteins for different expression systems by evaluating and selecting designs and translating them into recombinant reality Guidance in identifying and establishing new procedures for the development and continuous improvement of our products and processes the development of recombinant and native proteins and antibodies. next steps required for NPD projects Best practices for recombinant protein expression technical difficulty of upcoming NPD projects key requirements and considerations for new products technical troubleshooting Requirements Biology/Natural Sciences University Degree (Master's or PhD) In-depth experience in the life science/diagnostics industry and in the management of research projects Expert knowledge in the production of recombinant proteins and protein purification technologies, especially for antigens, antibodies and enzymes In-depth knowledge of recombinant proteins in assay applications Experience in explaining technical scientific concepts Strong skills in literature research with the gift of compiling, highlighting and communicating important information clearly and concisely Very good communication and organizational skills as well as strong teamwork skills Very good knowledge of German and English Work with the Product Management team to assess the technical requirements and difficulties in meeting customer segment requirements Co-create and translate product requirements into clearly defined and scheduled development plans Lead and promote technical project discussions and provide advice and support to progress the projects at a faster pace Develop recombinant protein expression strategies for different expression systems by evaluating and selecting designs and turning them into a recombinant reality Guide the identification and establishment of new technologies for the development and continuous improvement of our products and processes
