Who We Are:
Antheia is a science and technology company developing next generation plant-inspired medicines. Applying synthetic biology, genomics, bioinformatics, data science, and fermentation, we harness the most beneficial molecules from plants to create active pharmaceutical ingredients in more controlled and economical ways. We are a close-knit team inspired by the possibilities of delivering transformative technologies and breakthrough science to change the course of medicine. We value our people as our most important resource and are always looking for talented individuals who can make valuable contributions to our efforts.
Antheia is seeking a junior Process Engineer to join our Downstream Processing team. In this role, you will help develop and scale processes to separate and purify bio-derived Key Starting Materials and APIs, moving from bench to pilot and commercial scales. You will gain an understanding of how impurities behave, how products degrade over time, and how to design processes that stay within target cost and performance ranges. You will support day-to-day unit operations, collect and analyze data, and help define key parameters for each step. Hands-on lab skills in sample preparation, as well as experience with liquid-solid and liquid-liquid separations, are important. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams—including Biology, Analytics, Operations, Quality, and Regulatory—to help create efficient, reliable processes that deliver high-quality products on schedule.
If you're ready to tackle meaningful challenges and drive innovation, we invite you to explore this opportunity with us.
