Job Description

The Manufacturing Sciences Analytical group supports the development, transfer, and lifecycle management of analytical methods used in biologics manufacturing. This team ensures robust method performance by executing some method development, supporting method transfers, and evaluating new technologies for implementation.  The analytical team works closely with the process scientists to design and execute studies that will efficiently and accurately evaluate process changes or optimizations.

As an intern in the Manufacturing Sciences Analytical group, you will be immersed in a dynamic, cross-functional environment that bridges technical operations, quality control, and process development. This team plays a key role in ensuring the robustness and reliability of analytical methods used throughout the lifecycle of biologic products—from early development through commercial manufacturing.

You’ll be part of a collaborative group supporting method development, scale-down model generation, deviation investigations, and the evaluation and implementation of new technologies. Over the 12-week internship, you will own one or more projects and collaborate with your manager, mentor, and team members to execute them. This experience will help you build technical skills, scientific reasoning, and business acumen while contributing to the delivery of high-quality biologic therapies.

How You Will Contribute:

Duties may include some of the following, under the manager's and/or mentor’s supervision:

• Support analytical method development and optimization for biologics manufacturing.

• Assist with method transfer activities, including documentation, data review, and performance tracking.

• Participate in scale-down model generation to simulate manufacturing conditions.

• Contribute to deviation investigations and root cause analyses.

• Help evaluate and implement new technologies to enhance analytical capabilities and data integrity.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Quality Control, Manufacturing, and Quality teams.

• Gain exposure to GMP documentation practices and regulatory expectations in a biologics setting.

Internship Development Opportunities:

Interns will gain exposure to:

• Operating within industry guidelines for controlled scientific experiments.

• Approaches to solving real-world problems in drug development.

• An introduction to regulatory requirements for biologics manufacturing.

• Analytical techniques commonly used in biologics production.

Job Requirements:

• This is a full-time, on-site position (40 hours/week).

• Must be pursuing a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in a scientific or engineering discipline.

• Prior laboratory experience required (e.g., academic lab courses, guided research).

• Comfortable working in a dynamic environment where plans may evolve.

• Confident in working with and interpreting scientific data.

Internship Eligibility  

• Must be authorized to work in the U.S. on a permanent basis without requiring sponsorship  

• Must be currently enrolled in a degree program graduating December 2026 or later  

• The internship program is 10-12 weeks depending on the two start dates (May 26th-August 14th or June 15th- August 21st)   

• The intern must be able to commit to one of these time frames   

• Able to work full time 40 hours a week during internship dates
