The Tissue Engineer (TE) will report to the Chief Scientific Officer with dotted line responsibility to the Chief Technology Officer. The TE will actively collaborate with members of the New Product Development (NPD) team, including Project Engineers, Product Management, Quality Assurance, and Materials Scientists on multiple projects. The TE will develop, execute, and troubleshoot various experiments focused on three-dimensional biomaterials, derivative structures and devices, and their interactions with living tissue and cells. Additional responsibility will involve subsequent characterization, imaging, and data analyses on relevant experimental materials.

The TE is a technically focused scientist or engineer who can quickly design and iterate new biomaterial handling and related cell/tissue seeding and culture techniques, work on multiple and varied projects simultaneously, and collaborate closely with a diverse and growing team of scientists and engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to research and development of new products
• Prepare biomaterials, including porous three-dimensional scaffolds, hydrogels, devices, and combinations thereof for experiments
• Work with animal and human tissue and cells for laboratory-based experiments:
  • cell expansion and cryopreservation
  • tissue handling and processing for culture
  • cell/tissue-biomaterial interactions
  • regulatory enabling studies
  • procedural and document compliance
  • processing coded or de-identified human specimens
• Characterize cell/tissue/biomaterial constructs (e.g., fluorescent staining and imaging, including confocal imaging, quantitative plate reader assays, PCR, mass spectroscopy, and flow cytometry)
• Perform routine, general tissue culture laboratory work, including preparation of solutions, sterilizing instruments/supplies, appropriate waste disposal, and performing quality control procedures
• Assist with tasks associated with specific project(s) such as preparing standard operating procedures and reports

• Experience with three-dimensional biomaterial/tissue handling, culturing, imaging, and characterization techniques
• Experience or familiarity with a cGMP environment, manufacturing human cells, biologics, biomaterials, or other product intended for human use is advantageous, but not required
• Highly skilled in designing and executing experiments and will be a good lab steward
• Experience with research and development of combination products, medical device regulation, and relevant standards is a plus
• Strong diligence with documentation, attention to detail and highly organized
• Strong ability to communicate effectively, can work both independently and under supervision, and function as a collaborative engineering team member
• Excellent oral and written technical communication skills
