Job Description

R&D Process Engineering, a part of AbbVie R&D’s Synthetic Molecule CMC Development organization, is responsible for designing and developing scalable processes to make small molecule drug substances and drug products, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and peptides throughout pre-clinical and clinical development stages. R&D Process Engineering also partners with Biologics CMC Development and Aesthetics R&D functions to provide active engineering support to enable robust process scale-up and manufacturing of biologics drug substances and drug products, including toxins and cosmetic active ingredients (CAIs). We contribute to the development of innovative engineering technologies and create valuable intellectual property through the composition of matter, chemical processes, and technologies resulting in cost-effective commercial manufacturing processes. We support the development of the supply chain for pipeline molecules and help prepare and defend CMC regulatory content.

Chemical/Bio Engineers support pipeline projects through all phases of development. Early in development, engineers focus on ensuring that the process can be run safely, identifying and addressing scale-up issues, enabling processes that can be scaled-up successfully. In the later stages of development, engineers optimize the drug substance and drug product processes and lead manufacturing campaigns.

Role Overview

The successful candidate will play a key role spanning multiple R&D Process Engineering functions, including the Crystalline Drug Substance and Drug Product Group (CrySP) and the Center for Reaction Engineering (CRE). The core deliverable of Process Engineering is to develop robust processes to manufa
