Position Summary

Manus works across industries and value chains to accelerate the transition to BioAlternatives – better performing and more sustainable versions of complex molecules traditionally sourced from plants, animals, or fossil fuels. Our platform is proven to work across scales, bridging the Valley of Death between lab and manufacturing more efficiently and more reliably to deliver the benefits of synthetic biology today.

The Mechanical Designer supports the design, development, and documentation of mechanical systems, equipment, and facilities used in biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. Working under the direction of senior engineers and project leads, this role contributes to projects from concept through installation, ensuring designs comply with GMP regulations, FDA guidelines, and applicable industry standards. The ideal candidate brings solid AutoCAD and AutoCAD 3D proficiency, a foundational mechanical background, and an eagerness to grow within a regulated manufacturing setting.

Why work at Manus:

  • Opportunity – For motivated, results-oriented team members, our growth creates opportunities for personal and professional advancement.
  • Accountability – You are given the resources you need to succeed and the freedom to make it happen; in return, we hold each other accountable for our high expectations.
  • Passion – We love what we do and enjoy working with others who feel the same way. We embrace the challenge and hard work that comes with working on the cutting edge.

  • Assist in the design of process equipment, piping systems, utility systems, and facility modifications for biotech/pharma manufacturing areas.
  • Produce and maintain engineering documentation including P&IDs, equipment layouts, installation drawings, BOMs, and design specifications.
  • Support design calculations, tolerance analyses, and material selections appropriate for cleanroom and regulated environments.
  • Review vendor drawings under guidance from senior staff; help verify equipment meets functional and regulatory requirements.

Project Execution

  • Support mechanical design workstreams on capital projects from initiation through commissioning and qualification (IQ/OQ).
  • Collaborate with process engineers, automation engineers, quality, and facilities to ensure mechanical designs align with operational requirements.
  • Assist with equipment procurement activities including RFQ preparation and participation in FATs/SATs.
  • Coordinate with contractors and construction teams during installation; provide field support as directed.
  • Track design deliverables, manage drawing revisions, and maintain controlled document packages in accordance with change control procedures.

Compliance & Quality

  • Ensure all mechanical designs adhere to FDA 21 CFR Part 210/211, ASME BPE, and other relevant standards under guidance from senior staff.
  • Participate in design reviews and risk assessments; document findings and follow up on assigned action items.
  • Support change control and deviation management processes from an engineering design perspective.
  • Maintain drawing and document archives in the company engineering document management system (EDMS).

Collaboration

  • Work closely with senior designers and engineers to develop technical skills and understanding of GMP design principles.
  • Follow established CAD standards, drawing templates, and best-practice documentation for the engineering team.
  • Participate actively in cross-functional project teams and communicate design status to team members and stakeholders.

  • Exposure to cleanroom classifications (ISO 5–8) and HVAC/environmental control concepts
  • Experience with SOLIDWORKS or Inventor as a supplemental tool
  • Familiarity with engineering document management systems (EDMS)
  • Lean / continuous improvement mindset or coursework

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

  • Work is performed in a combination of office/CAD environment and active manufacturing/lab areas including cleanrooms.
  • Occasional gowning required when entering classified manufacturing spaces; adherence to site EHS and GMP protocols is mandatory.
  • May require occasional travel to vendor sites for FATs or to other company facilities.
