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 and product development of combination products — you’ll be the one operating the equipment and executing the batch records that turn our platform into product. You’ll work with real medical device components and assembly equipment, run the in-process testing that keeps production in 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. There are also opportunities in Research and Development, such as prototyping, test method development, design control, and conducting experiments to support design and development of next generation combination products.

What you'll do

• Perform cGMP medical device operations according to documented procedures and batch records
• Operate device assembly and testing equipment — custom assembly fixtures, mechanical testers, laser displacement sensors and controllers, dimensional measurement equipment
• Complete batch records, logbooks, and test records following Good Documentation Practices
• Run in-process testing: visual inspection, physical and mechanical testing
• Contribute to root cause analyses and product development investigations
• Review documentation for completeness and regulatory compliance
• Support process and product development efforts as needed - design control, test method development, in vivo and ex vivo experiments, custom fixture design, and prototyping
• Follow all safety guidelines — PPE, chemical handling, emergency procedures

Who you are

• 2+ years of relevant experience in a regulated environment (chemical, biotech, medical device, or biopharmaceutical); clean room experience preferred
• High school diploma required; associate’s degree or trade certification preferred
• Strong lab technique — mechanical testing, weighing, visual inspection, dimensional measurement, computer-aided design, 3D printing, statistical analysis
• 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
