Official title: Technical Assistant (m|w|d) - Proteinaufarbeitung & Zellkultivierung - Befristet auf 24 Monate
Location: Bergisch Gladbach, Germany | Employment information: Full-time; fixed term for 24 months
This laboratory role supports the Eukaryotic Manufacturing team in planning and overseeing protein-production processes. It is practical work with a clear production orientation, from handling cultured cells through purification and analysis of proteins such as antibodies. The person in post will not be limited to a final purification stage, since the official task description also includes the preparatory cell-culture sequence and filtration before downstream work. This gives the role a continuous process perspective.
Reliable documentation is integral to the assignment. Alongside laboratory execution, the postholder evaluates data when needed, prepares result reports and presents findings within the group and across departments. Ideas that address production-related questions form part of the contribution expected from the role. The role can therefore be understood as both experimental and operational: it contributes to improving processes as they are transferred from research towards production, while preserving the documentation and quality focus required by the advertised work.
Responsibilities
- Plan and oversee production processes for obtaining proteins, including antibodies.
- Carry out downstream processing, including chromatographic purification and analysis of proteins.
- Perform upstream steps from cell thawing through batch and fed-batch cultivation to filtration of culture supernatant.
- Support the staged transfer of manufacturing processes from the research setting to production scale.
- Further develop processes efficiently while helping to maintain high product quality.
- Conduct in-process controls, analyse the resulting data and document the observations.
- Record results in an ISO-compliant manner, perform detailed evaluation where required and prepare result reports.
- Present findings within the group and across departments, including interactions with production and research.
- Contribute knowledge and ideas to the resolution of production-related questions and to product development for research into serious diseases.
Qualifications
- Completed vocational training as a laboratory technician or technical assistant, together with professional experience.
- Alternatively, a completed bachelor’s degree in biochemistry or biotechnology.
- Interest in cell culture, protein processing and protein analytics, including CGE.
- Preferred: Initial practical experience in cell culture, protein processing or protein analytics.
- A conscientious, structured and goal-oriented way of working.
- Team spirit and a strong willingness to perform.
Skills and Competencies
- Fluent German language skills.
- Good English language skills.
- Advanced user knowledge of Microsoft Office.
- Ability to document laboratory results in an ISO-compliant way.
- Care in analysing data from in-process controls.
- Confidence communicating results with colleagues in production and research.
Benefits and Employment Information
- Flexible, self-determined time arrangement.
- An intercultural environment characterised by diversity, flat hierarchies and an informal form of address.
- Scope to contribute creative ideas and help shape work.
- Individual continuing education through Miltenyi University.
- 30 days of leave and a discounted Germany public-transport ticket.
- E-bike leasing, capital-forming benefits, a company pension plan and occupational disability insurance.
