Biomedical Engineer

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM

Location: Milwaukee WI 53209 USA

Position Overview

We are seeking a hands‑on Biomedical Engineer Scientist / Scientist / Engineer with experience in formulation development, biochemical products, powder processing, tableting, automated dispensing, and HTS plate preparation .

The role will focus on developing and scaling dry and liquid biochemical products in formats including tablets, sachets, vials, and 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384‑well plates for drug discovery and development workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize dry and liquid formulations , biochemical reagents, buffers, excipients, and screening materials.
• Develop tablet, mini‑tablet, sachet, vial, and HTS plate products.
• Operate/support tablet presses, powder blenders, solid/liquid dispensers, and plate‑handling equipment .
• Develop dispensing workflows for 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384‑well plates .
• Evaluate powder flow, blend uniformity, tablet properties, dosing accuracy, reconstitution, and plate uniformity.
• Perform analytical and stability testing using HPLC/UPLC, LC-MS, UV‑Vis, Karl Fischer, pH, conductivity, and dissolution techniques.
• Troubleshoot formulation, tableting, dispensing, evaporation, precipitation, and cross‑contamination issues.
• Develop specifications, batch records, protocols, plate maps, and technical documentation.
• Support scale‑up, technology transfer, packaging, and pilot manufacturing readiness .

Required Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmaceutics, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Hands‑on experience in at least two of the following:
• Dry formulation
• Tableting
• Powder processing
• Automated dispensing
• HTS plate preparation
• Experience with 24-, 48-, 96-, or 384‑well plate workflows .
• Strong knowledge of formulation stability, powder properties, excipients, solvent compatibility, and moisture sensitivity .
• Experience designing and documenting formulation, analytical, process‑development, or stability studies .
• Ability to independently develop prototypes and translate them into scalable processes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with pharmaceutical/biochemical formulations, dry‑plated compounds, DMSO solutions, or chemical libraries .
• Experience with laboratory automation, robotics, low‑volume dispensing, or plate‑sealing systems .
• Knowledge of HPLC/UPLC, LC-MS, Karl Fischer, dissolution, LIMS, or plate‑data management .
• Experience with DoE, QbD, scale‑up, technology transfer, GLP/GMP, or ICH stability principles .

Ideal Candidate:

A hands‑on scientist or engineer with strong formulation + tableting/powder processing + automated dispensing/HTS experience who can take products from development through testing and pilot readiness.
