Duration: 12 months contract

Job Description:
The ideal candidate for this Associate Engineer role is an early-career engineer, typically a new graduate or someone with 0-2 years of industry experience, who holds a bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering and demonstrates a strong grasp of core engineering principles. Exposure to single-use systems or biotech engineering is helpful but not required; training will be provided. The candidate should be detail-oriented, comfortable performing data entry into engineering databases, and eager to support design reviews and day-to-day engineering workload alongside a senior engineer. We are seeking individuals who are motivated, collaborative, and genuinely interested in hands-on learning within a highly supportive team. Overqualification is a concern for this role; candidates with extensive engineering backgrounds (e.g., senior or principal-level profiles) will not be a fit. The position is primarily remote with infrequent site visits, so reliability, communication skills, and self-management are essential.
Day to Day Responsibilities:
Ideal candidate: training is provided but the ideal candidate can update data into the system and attention to detail is crucial. Someone who can work independently in a fast paced environment that can accept feedback.
Position involves support of senior staff in the initiation, design, and delivery of projects, particularly for single use systems. Support senior staff in obtaining, organizing, and entering data for a single-use systems database that will be utilized by a broad, cross-functional user base at company, in addition to support the triage of new single-use system designs.
The position requires a lot of independent work, which brings a lot of personal satisfaction and success is not largely dependent on group work. The CW will become the new Subject Matter expert of a new system within company which will be very valuable to potentially obtain a full time position. The person will be working with single uses systems and therefore interaction with almost all sites and a variety of groups at company (manufacturing, process development, supply chain, etc) giving them an opportunity to learn more about the company and how it works.
