The Vertex Process Development – Process Monitoring Co‑Op program is a 6‑month experiential training program for students currently working toward an undergraduate degree in Engineering, Bioinformatics, or other STEM related fields. If you are passionate, collaborative, and growth‑minded, a co‑op at Vertex will help you gain meaningful experience in our process development functional areas and serve as a launchpad for your career.

The Final date to receive applications for this role is April 3rd, 2026. Vertex reviews applications on a rolling basis and reserves the right to close this posting prior to the listed deadline.

The VCGT Process Development team is dedicated to advancing innovative solutions in cell and gene therapies. Our team focuses on developing robust, scalable, and efficient manufacturing processes to support the production of cutting‑edge therapies. By leveraging state‑of‑the‑art technologies, data‑driven methodologies, and scientific expertise, we optimize processes for both clinical and commercial manufacturing. In this role, you will develop multivariate analysis methods to support Drug Substance and Drug Product manufacturing processes, identify multifactorial impacts on product quality, and uncover correlations using tools such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or other statistical techniques.

You’ll use these analyses to detect potential process drifts, determine root causes of complex investigations, and identify opportunities for process improvement. Additionally, you will design and implement computational tools to efficiently sort, organize, and visualize data trends, presenting complex information in a clear and simplified manner to support decision‑making.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to create and apply multivariate analysis techniques (e.g., PCA) for manufacturing processes, delivering analysis reports and visualizations that identify critical process parameters.
• Analyze manufacturing data to determine key variables that influence product quality and performance, working closely with internal stakeholders to gather data, interpret results, and present findings.
• Use statistical tools and data visualization techniques to monitor processes and identify potential drifts or deviations, providing regular updates and reports to process development and quality teams.
• Use data insights to identify opportunities for enhancing manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and overall process performance; work with cross‑functional teams to implement and validate process improvements.

• Enrolled in an undergraduate program as a Junior or Senior in Engineering, Mathematics, Bioinformatics, or another related field.
• Proficiency in data analysis software (e.g., JMP or similar tools).
• Strong skills in Microsoft Excel, including data organization and analysis.
• Experience with multivariate analysis techniques and methodologies.
• General knowledge…
