Engineer I, Formulation
Woburn or Allston, MA · Onsite
About Terrestrial Bio, Inc.
Terrestrial is transforming the delivery of next-generation therapies, starting with GLP-1.
Terrestrial's proprietary Tacterra™ microarray patch (MAP) and applicator platform consists of a patch resembling an
adhesive bandage, which is applied with a preloaded applicator and removed after a few minutes. Once applied, each
patch delivers bioactive tips into the skin, which dissolve quickly into the body, rapidly releasing their therapeutic
payload. Designed for self-administration, the temperature-stable Tacterra™ platform enables precise, controlled
delivery of a wide range of therapeutics without medical sharps or refrigeration.
Terrestrial has generated strong clinical and in-vivo proof of concept across multiple molecules. For more information,

This is a hands-on entry point into formulation science on a platform that doesn't exist anywhere else. You'll be running
real experiments on real product — not shadowing them — while working alongside a senior formulation team that's
invested in developing junior engineers. It's a role built for someone who wants to learn formulation and process
development fast, with a clear runway to grow into more ownership as you build expertise.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
? Support formulation development and optimization studies for microarray patch formulations
? Execute experiments per established protocols, including preparing formulations and running characterization assays
? Perform in-process and analytical testing to support process development and manufacturing
? Maintain accurate, detailed documentation of experiments and results, following Good Documentation Practices
? Assist in authoring and reviewing protocols, reports, and SOPs under guidance from senior team members
? Support troubleshooting and root cause analysis for formulation or process issues
? Collaborate with Formulation, Analytical, and Manufacturing teams to support tech transfer and scale-up activities
WHAT YOU BRING
? BS in Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, or a related discipline; 0–2 years of relevant experience
(internship, co-op, or academic research experience welcomed)
? Exposure to formulation science, drug delivery, or polymer science is a plus
? Strong laboratory fundamentals and attention to detail
? Clear written and verbal communication skills
? Eagerness to learn quickly and work collaboratively in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment
