MES Engineer (Contractor)

Genentech Inc. needs Subject Matter Expertise (SME) in the area of recipe authoring and system setup/configuration to support the implementation of standard Manufacturing Execution System (MES) PharmaSuite at HTO as it would enable reduced cost of ownership by the company, and harmonization of business processes between all sites that use the platform.
