Passionate, determined, and accountable. Curious, resourceful, innovative, forward thinking, and resilient. Authentic, humble, open-minded and puts team above self. At Arbor, our people embrace these qualities, so if this sounds like you then please read on!

About the Role:

We are seeking a Process Development Associate to join the Process and Delivery Sciences team at our Cambridge site. This person will provide strong process engineering/technology transfer support of therapeutic CRISPR gene editing products in clinical development through commercial production. Our mission is to translate developmental processes to commercial reality for patients through scientific expertise and engineering innovation. 

What you Can Expect:

• Apply both upstream and downstream process knowledge in support of the scale-up / scale-out, and optimization of AAV viral vectors in shake flask and single-use bioreactor formats.
• Partner with internal research teams by producing high quality, clinical process-similar AAV viral vectors, to support IND enabling pharmacology studies.
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including R&D, quality control, and manufacturing, to transfer developed processes to GMP production.
• Maintain accurate and detailed documentation of experimental procedures, batch records, and process deviations in accordance with regulatory and quality guidelines.

What you Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or a related field.
• 1-2 years of laboratory experience with a basic understanding of upstream (cell culture, transfection) and downstream (purification, filtration) processes for AAV production.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.
• Knowledge of GMP, quality control, and regulatory requirements for viral vector manufacturing is a plus.
