Job Description:The Senior Process Modeling Expert provides hands-on process, modeling and simulation expertise during the early project phases and leads the process modeling discipline in the project early phase team.She/He can turn initial, high-level process and facility data into comprehensible process models using state of the art modeling/simulation software.The technical areas of responsibility include biologics-, cell & gene therapies-, mRNA-, small molecules-, bioconjugates- and drug product/aseptic manufacturing as well as labs.Your responsibilities:
Generating generic process model templates for the different divisions (mammalian, bioconjugates, mRNA, small molecules etc.).
Own and deliver the process modeling/simulation area during project initiation phases (ideation, feasibility, concept design).
Create detailed process models by defining the various components, unit operations and equipment involved in the process as well as the sizing of the equipment.
Provide comprehensible decision basis during design development regarding production capacity, operability and profitability by assessing and addressing different production models.
Work within a technical engineering context and integrate process engineering, operations, site engineering, tech transfer and maintenance aspects into the process modelling.
Perform economic analysis by estimating capital and operating costs, allowing stakeholders to evaluate the profitability of different process alternatives.
