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 information, visit

You'll own the handoff that makes or breaks a platform like ours: taking formulations from R&D and turning them into repeatable,

compliant manufacturing processes. Reporting to the Director of Process Development, you'll act as the connective tissue between

Research, Manufacturing, Quality, and Automation — with real influence over how our microarray patch formulations get built,

optimized, and scaled. You'll also have hands-on oversight of formulation campaigns and the technicians running them, giving you

both technical depth and early leadership experience.

personnel
● Oversee day-to-day manufacturing floor activities — safety, compliance, scheduling, and troubleshooting — alongside
Manufacturing and Facilities
Identify and implement new technologies and assays to support continuous improvement

● Drive process development and optimization studies for microarray patch formulations, including excipient optimization

● Act as the liaison between Research and Manufacturing to scale formulation processes from R&D to production

● Lead root cause analyses and process development investigations

● Communicate progress, issues, and results to key stakeholders
WHAT YOU BRING
● Engineer II - BS or MS in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related
discipline, with 3+ years of relevant experience (title adjusted commensurate with qualifications)

independently

● Prior supervisory experience in a GxP environment preferred

● Strong grasp of Good Documentation Practices, including authoring and reviewing batch records, SOPs, and work
instructions
