Aerogen Pharma Career Opportunities
Associate Director, Product Development
Department: Pharmaceutical
Location: California, USA
The Associate Director of Product Development is a critical role in Aerogen Pharma that will be responsible for key aspects of pharmaceutical development of AeroFact (biologic surfactant) or Synthsurf (Synthetic surfactant). The role will focus on phase appropriate product development of surfactant lyophilized formulations, manufacturing process optimization and scale up, and product characterization supporting pre-clinical and clinical studies. This position will play a central role in establishing and operating Aerogen Pharma’s in-house development laboratory. The Associate Director will lead hands-on formulation and process development of lipid/peptide formulations, including design, execution, and iteration of experiments. The role requires expertise with lipid-based formulations, lyophilization, protocol development, and cross-functional experimental execution in collaboration with process engineers, analytical scientists, and lab technicians. Once formulations are developed, the Associate Director will conduct product understanding and characterization studies and lead scale-up and technology transfer to CDMOs.
