Collaborate with Engineering, Operations, Quality, and external vendors to support successful product development activities.
Support aseptic manufacturing activities for preclinical and clinical builds, including material preparation, equipment setup, process execution, and adherence to cleanroom and contamination control procedures.
Assist the R&D team with broader company objectives and projects as they come up.
