• Act as a technical expert and customer point of contact throughout project lifecycle
• Jump in to support project leadership when needed

Quality, Testing & Delivery

• Develop test plans and collaborate with customers for approvals
• Work closely with Manufacturing and Quality teams to bring designs to reality

Automation & Innovation

• 3+ years of engineering experience (5+ preferred in biopharma, piping, or custom equipment)
• Experience supporting equipment manufacturing, testing, or automation is a strong plus
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-driven environment
