Job Description Experienced Data & Systems Engineer

The Advanced Therapies Pilot Plant (ATP) in Leiden produces clinical trial material for advanced therapies, a novel class of medical products that uses cell and gene therapies to treat diseases and have the potential to cure diseases when no treatment is available. It's a very exciting field, as no established manufacturing platforms exist for these products, which means that new processes need to be developed to ensure efficient production of high-quality GMP material!

The ATP is a very active pilot plant, with 3 full GMP productions streets, making 5 different product types, and a 4th street with a Drug product fill line being created - making it a true end-to-end pilot plant!

• Close collaboration with operators, scientists, engineers, and software engineers to ensure seamless data flow and accessibility, both during and after batch execution. This can also involve overseeing the implementation of data historians and dashboards.
• Coaching more junior colleagues in techniques, processes, and responsibilities.

Qualifications

Education:

BSc, MBO (level 4) or HBO degree, or equivalent in the field of Microbiology/Life Sciences/Engineering
