Manufacturing Engineer

Neurotech Pharmaceuticals is an innovative biopharmaceutical company located in Cumberland, RI, within the realm of Greater Boston’s vast biotechnology landscape. Since our inception more than 20 years ago, we have been developing a proprietary biological drug device combination technology for treatment of a variety of retinal disorders. Our most advanced program is developing a treatment for the orphan disease Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (MacTel). Our Encapsulated Cell Technology (ECT) platform is designed to deliver a genetically modified neuroprotective factor to slow the progression of this chronic retinal disease.

We are currently seeking to add a Manufacturing Systems Engineer who will be responsible for applying advanced analytical and problem-solving methodologies including mathematical modeling, simulations and control theories to the design, development, and optimization of the state-of-the-art complex mechanical systems. The ideal candidate must be experienced in mechanical engineering design principles of capital equipment and modeling such systems using statics, dynamics, kinematics, and vibration analyses in different phases of product life cycle. They must be highly proficient with current development tools, software, practices, and processes.

This is an on-site role in Cumberland, RI. This is not a hybrid or remote opportunity.

Also, please note this role is not eligible for agency recruiting support.
