Lead Mechanical Engineer

Cellular Origins

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. Cellular Origins’ proprietary 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.

Lead Mechanical Engineer

We’re looking for multiple Lead Mechanical Engineers to drive the design and development of our robotic manufacturing system.

As a Lead Mechanical Engineer, you will own the delivery of critical modules within the system. As the driving force behind the design, development, and delivery, you’ll lead the end-to-end process of your modules, from concept to detailed engineering, always ensuring alignment with performance and manufacturability requirements.

Collaboration with cross-functional bioprocess, robotics and system engineering teams will be crucial for seamless integration into the wider system.

Within this role you’ll also manage the technical aspects of projects, balancing trade-offs between specifications, risk, and timelines to achieve successful outcomes.

Join us on our mission in steering the system towards excellence. You’ll join a fast-growing, interdisciplinary, team with a passion for solving worthwhile problems. 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. 

Requirements

Our system includes a range of engineering scale, from large-scale factory automation modules to small, highly complex, precision electromechanical devices. We are building a small team of Engineering Leads to cover this range.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Proven, extensive, experience in the design and development of complex electromechanical devices and/or manufacturing equipment.
• Track-record in technical delivery from early product development to transfer-to-manufacture.
• While your experience might ideally lie within the Life Science fields, experience gained (for example) within consumer products and aerospace are also very interesting to us.

Come and join our mission! We're closing applications for the role on Tuesday 13th February, 09:00. Every application will receive a reply.
