Senior Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technician

Senior Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Technician

United Therapeutics seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter's pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant.

If you're the kind of manufacturing pro who gets real satisfaction from a perfectly executed run—clean changeovers, dialed‑in equipment, pristine documentation, and a finished batch you're proud to sign—this role will feel like home. You'll document with precision (batch records, cleaning logs/labels), partner in resolving non-conformances, and help keep production moving efficiently and safely.

Operate, clean, and maintain pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging equipment, including fluid bed granulators, blenders, tablet press, pan coaters, laser drill, printer, and packaging equipment in order to ensure efficient and timely production of a quality product.

Complete batch manufacturing and packaging documentation as well as all cleaning records and labels and ensure accuracy. Participate in the resolution of any non-conformance events that may occur during production.
