What You’ll Do

  • Design and execute feasibility studies across key cell therapy areas (e.g., T cells, NK cells, PSC-derived cells)
  • Develop real-world workflows that demonstrate how customers can successfully use our bioreactor technology
  • Generate high-quality data, visuals, and insights used in marketing, sales, and scientific storytelling
  • Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, R&D, and Product teams to bring applications to market quickly
  • Engage with customers to understand their challenges and translate them into actionable solutions
  • Build application notes, SOPs, and protocols that serve as entry points for new and existing customers
  • Contribute to scientific publications, conferences, and external collaborations

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Fast-paced, high-visibility environment – See your ideas move quickly from concept to execution
  • Cross-functional collaboration – Work alongside commercial, technical, and scientific teams
  • Cutting-edge technology – Help shape the future of cell therapy manufacturing

What You Bring

  • Master’s degree in Cell Biology, Immunology, Bioengineering, or related field
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in mammalian cell culture, immune cell workflows, or stem cell differentiation
  • Experience with bioreactors or advanced therapy manufacturing (preferred)
  • Strong experimental design and troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to translate scientific data into clear, compelling insights
  • A collaborative mindset and comfort working in a dynamic, commercially driven environment

Why PBS Biotech

About PBS Biotech

View company profile

PBS Biotech was founded in 2006 with a vision to transform how cell therapies are developed and manufactured. The company's founders recognized that traditional stirred-tank bioreactors were failing to meet the unique demands of cultivating shear-sensitive therapeutic cells like induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). So they engineered the Vertical-Wheel® bioreactor - a revolutionary single-use system that provides superior mixing performance, scalability from 0.1L to 80L, and enhanced cell viability compared to conventional technologies.

Today, PBS Biotech stands as a leader in the allogeneic cell therapy market, enabling researchers and manufacturers to streamline their journey from benchtop R&D through clinical trials to commercial-scale production. The company's 63,800 sq. ft. facility in Camarillo, California houses both manufacturing operations and an onsite laboratory where their Bioprocess R&D team delivers world-class contract process development services. With over $47 million in funding from investors including Avego Management and BroadOak Capital Partners, and recognition as Single-Use Bioreactors Company of the Year 2025, PBS Biotech continues to advance its mission of enabling life-saving therapies for cancer, diabetes, heart failure, and other critical diseases.
