Full Job Description

About the Company
We are an innovative biotechnology company developing advanced cell-based therapies with a focus on regenerative medicine and complex chronic diseases. Our multidisciplinary team integrates clinical research, translational science, and data analytics to accelerate the development of novel therapeutic approaches.

Position Summary

SMS Biotech is seeking a motivated Laboratory Associate I Mammalian Cell Culture to support day-to-day cell culture operations in our cell therapy manufacturing area. This is an introductory, entry-level role designed for someone early in their career who is eager to learn GMP biomanufacturing from the ground up. The Associate will work alongside experienced manufacturing and quality staff to perform routine mammalian tissue culture thawing, feeding, passaging, expanding, harvesting, and cryopreserving cells under direct supervision, with a strong emphasis on aseptic technique, cleanroom discipline, and accurate documentation. Nearly all work is performed gowned inside classified cleanroom suites and biosafety cabinets, and a significant portion of the role involves hands-on cleaning and sanitization of the cleanroom and tissue culture equipment; the work can be physically demanding. Prior professional GMP experience is not required, though hands-on mammalian cell culture experience gained during college is strongly preferred. We are looking for a dependable, detail-oriented self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, regulated manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

Perform routine mammalian cell culture under supervision, including thawing, feeding, media exchange, passaging, expansion, harvest, and cryopreservation of adherent and suspension cultures.
Execute all tissue culture work inside biosafety cabinets using proper aseptic technique to maintain sterility and protect product quality.
Monitor cultures on a defined schedule assessing confluence, morphology, growth, and signs of contamination and perform cell counts and viability measurements using hemocytometers and automated cell counters.
Prepare, label, and verify media, buffers, supplements, and reagents used in cell culture operations.
Operate and maintain readiness of tissue culture equipment, including CO2 incubators, biosafety cabinets, centrifuges, water baths, microscopes, and cryogenic storage.
Complete cleanroom gowning and follow all gowning, hygiene, material transfer, and behavior requirements for classified manufacturing areas.
Perform routine cleaning, sanitization, and decontamination of the cleanroom suite, biosafety cabinets, incubators, equipment, and work surfaces a substantial and regular part of this role.
Accurately complete and maintain logbooks, batch documentation, and other GMP records following Good Documentation Practices.
Perform inventory checks, monitor supply levels, and support material receipt, labeling, and stocking of consumables and reagents.
Follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and work instructions, and escalate deviations, contamination events, or unexpected culture results to supervisors promptly.
Support environmental monitoring, aseptic process simulations, and equipment-readiness activities as directed.
Complete assigned training, including gowning and aseptic technique qualification, on time and apply learned procedures consistently.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in biology, cell biology, biotechnology, life sciences, or a related field is required.
Hands-on mammalian cell culture experience including thawing, feeding, passaging, and counting cells gained through coursework, research, internship, or a prior role.
Working understanding of aseptic technique and proper use of a biosafety cabinet.
Willingness and ability to gown for and work in classified cleanroom environments for the majority of the workday.
Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accurate, legible documentation.
Self-motivated, quick learner who can follow detailed instructions and procedures.
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
Good communication skills and a reliable, professional work ethic.

Preferred Qualifications

1–2 years of hands-on mammalian tissue culture experience (internship, academic research, or prior lab role).
Experience culturing primary human cells, stem cells, or other sensitive cell types.
Prior experience working in a cleanroom or GMP/regulated manufacturing environment, including gowning qualification.
Familiarity with cell counting and viability instrumentation, cryopreservation, and liquid nitrogen storage systems.
Exposure to Good Documentation Practices, batch records, or environmental monitoring programs.

Physical & Work Environment Requirements

Ability to lift and carry up to 35 lbs.
This is a physically demanding role involving frequent cleaning, prolonged standing, bending, reaching, and repetitive motion, including extended periods of pipetting and seated or standing work at a biosafety cabinet.
Ability to gown for and work in classified cleanroom environments for extended periods, with limited breaks between gowning cycles.
Comfortable handling primary and mammalian cells, biological materials, cryogenic materials, cleaning agents, and associated reagents in accordance with safety procedures and while wearing required PPE.
Flexibility to support cell culture schedules that may include early mornings, evenings, weekends, or holidays as culture timelines require.
Willingness to work within a controlled, GMP-regulated manufacturing setting and adhere to all gowning, hygiene, and safety requirements.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit a CV/resume and a brief cover letter outlining their experience with clinical or biomedical data analysis.

Pay: $52,000.00 - $62,000.00 per year
