You’ll join a fast-growing, interdisciplinary, team with a passion for solving a worthwhile problem. 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. Are you ready to join the mission?

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering, computer science or a related discipline with industry experience.
