Job description

More than one million people in the United States today are fighting blood cancer. While a traditional allogeneic stem cell transplant has been the best hope for many, the transplant itself can prove fatal or lead to serious conditions, such as graft vs. host disease. Orca Bio is a late-stage biotechnology company redefining the transplant process by developing next-generation cell therapies with the goal of providing significantly better survival rates with dramatically fewer risks.With our purified, high-precision investigational cell therapies we hope to not only replace patients' blood and immune systems with healthy ones, but also restore their lives.

We have built a state-of-the-art, 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Sacramento, CA (7910 Metro Air Pkwy) to ensure the consistent and reliable delivery of our high-precision cell therapy products. This site is essential to advancing our clinical pipeline and supporting future commercial availability of our life-saving therapies.

As a Technician, Quality Control Environmental Monitoring , you will play a critical role in safeguarding the quality and sterility of our cell therapy manufacturing operations. Through routine environmental sampling and microbiological testing, you'll ensure compliance with cGMP standards and support the release of life-saving therapies. This hands-on role offers the opportunity to contribute to a fast-paced, mission-driven team focused on precision, quality, and continuous improvement in a regulated manufacturing environment.

This is an entry level, 1st shift position ("5 X 8" schedule) : 9 : 00am - 5 : 30pm, Tuesday - Saturday.

  • Perform environmental monitoring and related sample testing in accordance with cGMP standards
  • Prepare reagents, aliquot samples (including aseptically), and document all activities accurately
  • Maintain and troubleshoot lab equipment to ensure operational readiness
  • Support assay transfers, validations, and equipment qualifications as needed
  • Order and manage lab supplies to ensure uninterrupted operations
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve technical issues and implement corrective actions
  • Contribute to training efforts, process improvements, and other quality-related initiatives as assigned

Desired Experience :

  • Classes in a relevant scientific discipline (biology, microbiology, environmental science, etc.) required, A.S. or B.S. degree preferred
  • Prior experience in microbiology, environmental monitoring, aseptic technique, or GMP within a cell therapy or biopharmaceutical manufacturing environment preferred but not required
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Detail-oriented with a strong commitment to data integrity and accuracy
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced and regulated environment
  • Adaptable and responsive to changing priorities and challenges
  • Physical Demands

  • Production Associates : Must have visual acuity of 20 / 20 (corrected or uncorrected) and normal color vision to safely perform critical tasks such as visual inspection of materials, equipment, and labeling, including distinguishing color-coded components in a GMP environment.

Use of cosmetics (makeup, painted nails), jewelry, or facial piercings is not permitted in the cleanroom, and any skin conditions that cause shedding must be disclosed.
  • Work Conditions

  • Must be able to work at either Orca Bio Sacramento location (3400 Business Dr. or 7910 Metro Air Pkwy) based on operational needs.
  • Must be comfortable regularly participating in video-based meetings.
  • May be required to work scheduled overtime, weekends, or holidays based on business needs.
  • Physical Demands

  • Must be able to remain in a stationary position ~50% of the time while in a biosafety cabinet / cleanroom environment, which includes wearing a PPE gown
  • Follow cleanroom protocols, e.g. no cosmetics including make-up, painted nails, jewelry or piercings, and must disclose any shedding skin condition
  • Occasional need to ascend / descend stairs within workspace; job requires standing / walking
  • $23 - $27 an hour

    The anticipated annual salary range for this job is based on prior experience in the role / industry, education, location, internal equity, and other job-related factors as permitted by law. For remote-based positions, this range may vary based on your local market. You will also be eligible to receive pre-IPO equity, in addition to competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits, flexible PTO, 401(k) plan, life and accidental death and disability coverage, and parental leave benefits. Other perks include free daily lunches and snacks at our on-site locations.

    Who we are

    We are driven by a passion for science and compassion for patients. We act with urgency to ensure our treatments are one day accessible to all who need them.

    We live by our core values of passion, courage, and integrity. Excellence in our work means the chance to unlock a better quality of life for our patients, and with that comes tremendous responsibility.

    We innovate on a path that hasn't been paved. We embrace an entrepreneurial spirit and take calculated risks to achieve our mission. We aren't afraid to ask "why not" and challenge the status quo.

    We maintain a start-up culture of camaraderie and leadership by example, regardless of title.

    We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and recognize that celebrating our differences creates stronger, lasting solutions that better serve our team, our patients and their healthcare providers.
