Senior Process Design Engineer - CIP & SIP Systems

Position Overview:

• Lead the design of CIP and SIP systems for sterile and non -sterile pharmaceutical processes
  

• Perform pump sizing, hydraulic calculations, and process line sizing for liquid and utility distribution
  

• Develop and specify CIP manifolds, valve matrices, mix -proof valve arrays, and spray device sizing
  

• Design efficient CIP/SIP flow paths, optimizing for minimum dead legs and effective coverage
  

• Write CIP process descriptions including sequences, detergent dosing, rinse validation, and drain cycles
  

• Integrate automated valve control and sequencing logic for repeatable and validated CIP operations
  

• Support design and layout of clean utility distribution systems, including steam -in -place routing and condensate removal
  

• Ensure designs comply with regulatory standards (EU GMP, FDA, Annex 1) and operational efficiency
  

• Generate and review key design documentation such as URS, PFDs, P&IDs, and equipment specifications
  

• Support FAT, SAT, commissioning, and qualification (DQ, IQ, OQ) activities
  

• Collaborate with automation, quality, production, and validation teams throughout design and implementation
  

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Chemical, Mechanical, or Process Engineering.

Minimum of 8 years’ experience in pharmaceutical engineering, with a strong focus on CIP and SIP systems within GMP manufacturing environments.

Additional training or certification in contamination control, process engineering, or automation platforms (e.g. Siemens, Rockwell) is a plus.

• Proficient in CIP/SIP system design including pump sizing, valve matrix configuration, and spray device sizing
  

• Strong understanding of process hydraulics, clean utility distribution, and automation sequencing logic
  

• In -depth knowledge of regulatory guidelines such as EU GMP, FDA, and Annex 1
  

• Skilled in AutoCAD, P&ID software, and process modelling tools
  

• Excellent cross -functional collaboration skills (working with automation, QA, validation, and production teams)
  

• Strong analytical and problem -solving abilities
  

• Effective technical communication and documentation skills
  

• Experience in sterile facility design, biotech, or pharmaceutical manufacturing
  

• Familiarity with GMP cleaning validation, contamination control, and commissioning processes (FAT, SAT, IQ, OQ, DQ)
  

• Knowledge of ISPE Baseline Guides and ASME BPE standards
