Lilly recently announced a $4.5 billion investment to create the Lilly Medicine Foundry, a new center for advanced manufacturing and drug development. The first-ever facility of its kind, combining research and manufacturing in a single location, the Medicine Foundry will allow Lilly to further develop innovative solutions to optimize manufacturing processes and increase capacity for clinical trial medicines, while also reducing costs and environmental impact. The Lilly Medicine Foundry Process Engineering organization is responsible for the chemistry, formulation, analytical, and engineering efforts to support development and scale-up of investigational small molecules to support clinical and toxicology studies through late-stage clinical trials. The Advisor - Process Engineer will serve as a senior technical authority within this organization, providing expert-level engineering guidance across the full lifecycle of process development, scale-up, and manufacturing support for the Foundry's small molecule node. This is a unique opportunity to be part of the startup team for a greenfield manufacturing site and to shape the processes, equipment, and engineering culture that will enable a successful transition to GMP manufacturing operations. Responsibilities Under the direction of the Process Engineering leadership, the Advisor -

Process Engineer:

+ Understands andcomplies withcorporate, divisional, and departmental procedures, including good manufacturing practices, safety, and other applicable regulations, andparticipatesin the establishment and maintenance of the Foundry's Quality systems. + Serves as the technical authority for equipment design and scale-up calculations across the Foundry's small molecule node, spanning both established and emerging modalities.

Typical responsibilities include:

+ Leading detailed engineering calculations, heat and mass transfer modeling, and equipment sizing to support the design of production suites for smallmolecule,peptide, oligonucleotide, and other new modality processes. + Performing and directing rig-fit assessments for incoming processes, using process simulation tools (e.g.,DynoChem, Aspen) tovalidatethat reactor geometries, mixing performance, heat transfer, and pressure ratings areappropriate forscale-up to the kilo lab and pilot plant. + Providingexpert guidance on theselectionand design of reactor systems for a diverse range of chemistries, including batch and semi-batch reactions, continuous flow unit operations, hydrogenation (fixed-bed, slurry, and high-pressure systems), peptide synthesis reactors (SPPS), and oligonucleotide synthesis platforms. + Driving scale-up from laboratory and kilo lab to full pilot plant production, ensuring heat and mass transfer, mixing, and process safety considerations are rigorously evaluated and documented at each scale transition. + Leading P&ID reviews for relevant design packages and communicating design intent and basis across engineering disciplines, vendors, and partner functions. + Developing andmaintainingmanufacturing processes and control strategies for drug substance APIs, with particular emphasis on translating development-scale chemistry into fit-for-purpose equipment specifications. + Providingexpert guidance on the preparation of manufacturing and controls sections of INDs, CTX filings, regulatory submissions, and annual updates. + Authoring and ensuringtimelycompletion of high-quality technical reports, basis-of-design documents, and engineering specifications.

Ensuresrecords and technical notebooks are adequatelymaintained. + Demonstrates the Lilly Leadership behaviors, as defined in the Lilly Performance Management system. + Plans andmanagesshort-term and long-term development activities within the Process Engineering function. Assigns work, coordinates efforts, evaluates progress, and reviews the activities of engineers and scientists assigned to the group. + Develops and reviews plans and timetables for project work. Recommends resource allocation toaccomplishprojects according to plans, communicates progress, and proposes changes to project timetables,objectives, or direction. + Takes a leadership role in ensuring departmental compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, procedures, and practices governing drug research and development, including departmental andcorporate standardoperating procedures, good manufacturing practices, and safety procedures. + Provides active engagement and communication with cross-functional partners including HSE, Quality Assurance, Tech Services, Development, Operations, FUME/C&Q, Automation, Maintenance, and Manufacturing. + Ensuresthat people and their environment are safe and that company policies concerning safety are followed. Leads andparticipatesin Process Hazard Reviews, HAZOPs, thermal hazard assessments, and other safety evaluations applicable to high-pressure, flammable, and novel modality processes. + Trains and mentors process engineers at all levels on equipment design principles, scale-up methodologies, GMP procedures, and Foundry-specific technical requirements across modalities.
