Troubleshoot complex analytical methods and identify contributors to method performance issues.
Prepare and review technical documentation, including method development reports, technology transfer documents, standard operating procedures, and qualification or validation protocols and reports.
Present findings internally and externally through presentations, posters, publications, invention disclosures, or patent-related contributions.
Complete all required training and maintain high standards for safety, data integrity, GxP awareness, and documentation quality.

What you bring to Takeda:

MS in Biology, Biochemistry or related discipline with a minimum of 0-2 years relevant industry experience in product and process development.

Experience with aseptic technique, tissue culture, multichannel pipetting, reagent preparation based on established procedures, and general laboratory upkeep and equipment maintenance.
Ability to plan, execute, interpret, and communicate complex experimental work across two or more projects or functional priorities with limited supervision.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment and communicate with cross-functional partners.
Ability and motivation to gain in-depth understanding of new technologies, method platforms, and scientific concepts.
Experience with a variety of assays, including cell-based assays, ELISAs, flow cytometry, SPR, and/or other assays used to study function and assess potency of biologics
