Engineer - Single-Use-Systems (SUS)

Career Category

Position Summary 

The Engineer will support senior staff in the initiation, design, and delivery of projects involving single-use systems (SUS). The role will focus on collecting, organizing, and entering technical information into an Amgen-wide single-use systems database and supporting the triage of new single-use system designs. 

The successful candidate will build engineering knowledge through independent assignments and regular collaboration with senior engineering staff and colleagues across Amgen.  

Key Responsibilities 

Single-Use Systems Database 

•  Support senior engineers in gathering, organizing, reviewing, and entering single-use systems information into an engineering database used by a broad, cross-functional Amgen audience. 

•  Help maintain accurate, consistent, and accessible database records by checking source information, resolving gaps with subject matter experts, and following established data-entry practices. 

•  Coordinate with colleagues across Amgen sites and functions, including manufacturing, process development, and supply chain, to collect and clarify system information. 

Design Review and Engineering Support 

•  Assist senior staff with the initial triage of new single-use system designs by gathering relevant information, documenting questions, and routing technical topics to the appropriate reviewers. 

•  Support design reviews, project documentation, and day-to-day engineering activities for single-use systems projects. 

•  Build familiarity with Amgen sites, engineering practices, and cross-functional operations while developing subject matter expertise in a new system area. 

Working Hours & Global Collaboration Model 

The role should be structured to provide reliable support to U.S., Europe, and Asia stakeholders. The working model may be established as Hybrid. The selected model should preserve protected time for focused document work while providing planned overlap for SME reviews, global meetings, and ESS change communications. 

Model  Work Hours Global Overlap Reference* 

• Mon–Thu: 9:30 AM–3:30 PM at site, with split remote work before/after site hours; Fri: 9:00 AM–6:00 PM
• Per AIN reference: 3 hr with PT; 3 hr with ET; 5 hr with EU; 6 hr with Singapore 
• Best when on-site ETA/SME interaction is important while retaining global collaboration flexibility. 

• Skills & Qualifications 
• •  5-9 over all experience with Bachelor's or Master’s degree in the relevant Engineering field. 
• •  Exposure to single-use systems, biotechnology, or pharmaceutical manufacturing is preferred. 
• •  Confident with accurate data entry and organizing information in engineering databases or similar systems. 
• •  Detail-oriented, reliable, and able to manage assigned work independently. 
• •  Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively with engineers and cross-functional partners. 
• •  Motivated to learn, ask questions, and contribute to a supportive team environment. 

Key Competencies 

•  Engineering Fundamentals – Applies core engineering concepts to understand single-use system information and recognize when clarification or review is needed. 

•  Data Quality and Organization – Enters and organizes technical information accurately and consistently so that it can be used by a broad engineering community. 

•  Independent Execution – Plans and completes defined assignments with care, follows through on open items, and seeks guidance when needed. 

•  Communication and Collaboration – Builds productive working relationships across sites and functions and communicates questions and status clearly. 

•  Learning Agility – Develops knowledge of new systems, engineering practices, and Amgen operations through training, research, and engagement with subject matter experts. 

Role Focus 

This role combines independent database and engineering support work with opportunities to collaborate across nearly all Amgen sites and a range of functions. The Engineer will develop focused expertise in a new single-use systems area and gain exposure to how engineering, manufacturing, process development, and supply chain work together.
