Cellular Origins
Cell therapies have been shown to cure devastating diseases like cancer by reprogramming a patient’s own immune system, offering hope where there was none before. Giving more patients access to these life-saving therapies requires a revolution in manufacturing and process automation.
Cellular Origins, a TTP company, is leading this revolution. Our proprietary technology tackles the challenges of large-scale production with an elegant robotic automation system that cuts costs, reduces labor, eliminates human error, and boosts efficiency.
We’re looking for a Supply Chain Engineer to play a crucial role in advancing our mission.
Supply Chain Engineer
As a Supply Chain Engineer at Cellular Origins, you’ll manage the procurement of our groundbreaking robotic manufacturing system, enabling critical prototype and production builds. You’ll be the primary contact for suppliers, including contract manufacturing partners. This position is ideal for someone who excels at communicating with internal and external stakeholders, who enjoys organizing people, documentation and processes to enable successful production.
Your organizational and planning skills will ensure compliance with timelines and budgets, working closely with the wider product development team to address issues as they arise. You’ll take a leading role in selecting manufacturing partners, working closely with other business functions to assess and review their capabilities on an ongoing basis.
Initially, you’ll collate and manage manufacturing documentation (such as bills of materials), ensuring conformance to relevant standards, including GMP. As we scale quickly, we expect you to play a key role in defining and launching MRP systems, appropriate for the company’s stage and needs.
This role offers the opportunity to become a pivotal part of realizing our cell therapy manufacturing technology through establishing in-house supply chain best practice, supporting strategic and operational supply chain decisions.
