Company Description

Cell therapies have been shown to cure devasting and previously untreatable diseases like cancer by re-programming the patient's own immune system. Giving more patients access to these life-saving therapies requires a revolution in manufacturing and process automation.

Cellular Origins, a TTP Company, is enabling scalable, cost-effective and efficient manufacture of cell and gene therapies. Our technology addresses the challenges associated with manufacturing at scale with an elegant robotic manufacturing automation solution that reduces cost and labour, eliminates human error, and increases efficiency.

Job Description

This is a great opportunity to join our Product Delivery team and play a key role in shaping the future of the Cellular Origins' Constellation system. Working together with the wider multi-disciplinary product team of engineers and scientists, you'll be instrumental in bringing our vision to life through development and rigorous testing.

Your mission? To steer the development towards a reliable and robust system offering through the creation of bespoke test environments and day-to-day hands-on testing and experimental work on the product. You'll help steer how we validate our complex system requirements and verify that every detail of our technologies robustly deliver functionality over life.

To help accelerate our delivery, you'll support design team members to make the most of our current understanding of systems before we get to full product testing. Driving how we do component or assembly level test, and support decision making with the use of simulation and analytical analysis, and robustly and quickly identify root causes of any failures that we may experience along the way.

Joining our fast-growing startup, you'll be opening doors to more than your day-to-day. Collaborating across the teams, you'll play a vital role in driving the ongoing development of our technology.

This is somewhere to really make your mark, working in a technically challenging and impact-driven venture, with bright and committed peers, to define the future of cell therapy manufacturing.
