Scientist II, Analytical Development (Biologics Discovery/CMC)

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled analytical development scientist to join our team at our site in San Diego. The successful candidate will leverage their expertise in a range of analytical techniques to support the characterization and development of protein- and antibody-based therapeutics in Enlaza’s covalent biologics platform. The scientist will be responsible for hands-on work to develop, optimize, and execute analytical methods for deployment to support discovery and pre-clinical research through early-stage manufacturing development. They will also provide technical support of analytical development and method transfer and qualification/validation, review of DS/DP release and stability data, and contribute to analytical content in regulatory communications. Key Responsibilities include: 1) Independently design, develop, and optimize analytical methods for release, stability, and characterization of biologics. 2) Perform routine physicochemical analytical testing to support biologics drug discovery research and early-stage process development. 3) Analyze and interpret complex analytical data. 4) Maintain detailed and accurate records in electronic laboratory notebooks. 5) Propose continuous improvement in analytical sciences. 6) Represent the analytical development function in cross-functional CMC and research project teams. 7) Contribute to oversight of external analytical development activities.
