Engineering Technician II/Senior Engineering Tech

We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs. United Therapeutics seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases.

We are looking for an equipment maintenance handy human. If you are a detail oriented, fast paced, highly service oriented equipment tech – keep reading. The mission of the Organ Manufacturing group (OMG) within United Therapeutics is to develop novel technology focusing on creating 3D printed, bioengineered lung scaffolds with the key biological functions that are ready for transplantation.

The Engineering Technician II/Senior Engineering Tech will serve as the vital link between our design concepts and physical production of complex electro-mechanical systems. This role will support the engineering team and the broader OMG mission by building prototypes, conducting rigorous tests, and maintaining/repairing/troubleshooting complex bioreactor systems.

Responsibilities include:

• Execute routine maintenance for all custom bioreactor systems maintenance and calibration to ensure peak system performance
• With help from design engineers, diagnose root cause of equipment product failures and recommend short term fixes and long term solutions as needed
• Execute on equipment maintenance/training plan, ordering and inventory management
• Contribute to the effort to assemble, modify, and repair complex electro-mechanical systems based on sketches, schematics, or verbal instructions
• Record and manage use of material needed to assemble bioreactor systems
• Assist in drafting/executing engineering testing plans to validate product performance; precisely record data and identify anomalies
• Maintain detailed lab notebooks and contribute to the creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and other technical documents

Minimum requirements for Engineering Tech II:

• 2+ years of related experience with H.S. Diploma / Associate Degree
• Experience with torque-limited screwdrivers, calipers, and hand tools to assemble mechanical/electrical components to build complex bioreactor system
• Skilled in using machine shop equipment (power tools, 3D printer, laser cutter, etc.)
• Excellent analytical, problem solving, and troubleshooting skills
• Ability to draft, read and interpret engineering drawings and documentations
• Strong communication skills; ability to explain why a failure occurred

Minimum requirements for Senior Engineering Tech:

• 4+ years of related experience with a H.S. Diploma / Associate Degree
