About Terrestrial Bio, Inc.

Terrestrial is transforming the delivery of next-generation therapies, starting with GLP-1.

Terrestrial's proprietary Tacterra™ microarray patch (MAP) and applicator platform consists of a patch resembling an adhesive bandage, which is applied with a preloaded applicator and removed after a few minutes. Once applied, each patch delivers bioactive tips into the skin, which dissolve quickly into the body, rapidly releasing their therapeutic payload. Designed for self-administration, the temperature-stable Tacterra™ platform enables precise, controlled delivery of a wide range of therapeutics without medical sharps or refrigeration.

Terrestrial has generated strong clinical and in‑vivo proof of concept across multiple molecules. For more information, visit www.terrestrialbio.com.

Why this role

This is a direct, hands‑on seat in cGMP manufacturing — you’ll be the one operating the equipment and executing the batch records that turn our platform into product. You’ll work with real formulation equipment (fluid dispensers, mixers, pumps, filtration systems), run the in‑process testing that keeps production on spec, and see your work move straight into the pipeline. It’s a strong entry point into regulated biotech manufacturing, with room to grow as the operation scales.

Who you are

• 2+ years of relevant experience in a regulated environment (chemical, biotech, medical device, or biopharmaceutical); clean room experience preferred

• Strong lab technique — pipetting, weighing, mixing solutions, aliquoting, documentation

• Comfortable working in both laboratory and clean room environments

• Strong written and verbal communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and on a team

• An entrepreneurial drive to make an impact on global human health
