About Terrestrial Bio, Inc.

Terrestrial is transforming the delivery of next-generation therapies, starting with GLP-1. Terrestrial’s

proprietary Tacterra™ microarray patch (MAP) and applicator platform consists of a patch resembling an

adhesive bandage, which is applied with a preloaded applicator and removed after a few minutes. Once

applied, each patch delivers bioactive tips into the skin, which dissolve quickly into the body, rapidly

releasing their therapeutic payload. Designed for self-administration, the temperature-stable Tacterra™

platform enables precise, controlled delivery of a wide range of therapeutics without medical sharps or

refrigeration.

Terrestrial has generated strong clinical and in-vivo proof of concept across multiple molecules. For more

Why This Role

This is a rare chance to own automation hands-on as a manufacturing operation scales from the ground up.

You won't be maintaining someone else's system — you'll be building, troubleshooting, and improving the

equipment that makes a first-of-its-kind therapeutic platform possible. As production volume grows, your

decisions on preventive maintenance, equipment reliability, and process improvement will directly shape

how well the operation scales. You'll work closely with the automation team and cross-functionally with

engineering, manufacturing, and quality — with real influence over the technical direction of the floor.
What you will work on

Troubleshoot and repair automated equipment, machinery, and hardware systems to minimize

downtime

Build, assemble, and install custom automated equipment, test fixtures, and prototype systems

Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance manufacturing safety, efficiency, reliability, and

product quality

Develop and maintain SOPs for equipment maintenance

Own and manage the preventive maintenance (PM) program, including scheduling and documentation

Analyze equipment performance, maintenance records, and failure logs to optimize PM strategy

Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and product development on new product

introductions and production activities

Ensure equipment operates safely and in compliance with company and regulatory standards

What you bring

10+ years of experience in maintenance, mechanical/electrical assembly, or a related technical role

Strong troubleshooting experience across electrical, mechanical, controls, and robotic systems in

automated manufacturing environments

Hands-on experience with automated production equipment, sensors, motors, pneumatics, and

industrial controls

Comfort working in laboratory and cleanroom environments with required PPE (lab coats, shoe covers,

hairnets, safety glasses, gloves)

Experience in medical device, pharmaceutical, or other regulated manufacturing preferred, especially

with high-volume automated lines

Working knowledge of PLCs, machine vision, motion control, robotics, or basic programming is a plus

Strong organizational skills and ability to prioritize across multiple tasks and deadlines

Self-motivated, adaptable, and driven to keep learning as automation technology evolves
