Engineer II, Formulation
Woburn, Moving to 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, visit
THIS ROLE
You'll own the handoff that makes or breaks a platform like ours: taking formulations from R&D and turning them into repeatable,
compliant manufacturing processes. Reporting to the Director of Process Development, you'll act as the connective tissue between
Research, Manufacturing, Quality, and Automation — with real influence over how our microarray patch formulations get built,
optimized, and scaled. You'll also have hands-on oversight of formulation campaigns and the technicians running them, giving you
both technical depth and early leadership experience.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
? Lead cGMP formulation operations for Microarray Patch manufacturing, ensuring adherence to batch records, SOPs, and
regulatory requirements
? Provide hands-on guidance to junior staff and technicians during manufacturing campaigns; train, mentor, and evaluate
personnel
? Oversee day-to-day manufacturing floor activities — safety, compliance, scheduling, and troubleshooting — alongside
Manufacturing and Facilities
? Drive process development and optimization studies for microarray patch formulations, including excipient optimization
? Act as the liaison between Research and Manufacturing to scale formulation processes from R&D to production
? Identify and implement new technologies and assays to support continuous improvement
? Lead root cause analyses and process development investigations
? Author, edit, and review batch records, SOPs, and work instructions
? Communicate progress, issues, and results to key stakeholders
WHAT YOU BRING
? Engineer II - BS or MS in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related
discipline, with 3+ years of relevant experience (title adjusted commensurate with qualifications)
? Strong hands-on formulation process development experience; able to design and execute studies and analyze results
independently
? Prior supervisory experience in a GxP environment preferred
? Strong grasp of Good Documentation Practices, including authoring and reviewing batch records, SOPs, and work
instructions
? Excellent verbal and written communication, time management, and project management skills
? Ability to learn quickly, solve challenging technical problems creatively, and work well across diverse, multidisciplinary
teams
? Strong attention to detail and root-cause problem-solving skills.
The salary range for the Engineer II role is $72,000 to $91,000
