As a Temporary R&D Engineer on Ro’s Product Development team, you will help design, optimize, validate, and document the processes required to bring new products from development through launch and into repeatable pharmacy operations.

You will work at the intersection of Product Development and Pharmacy Operations, partnering closely with Pharmacy, Pharmacy Compliance, Quality/Regulatory, Supply Chain, and other cross-functional teams to translate product requirements into scalable, reliable, and well-controlled compounding processes.

This role will have a strong focus on process development, scale-up, process optimization, and technical documentation. You will evaluate existing and proposed workflows, identify process risks and opportunities for improvement, develop standardized processes, and support pilot and production activities to ensure new products can be consistently and efficiently produced at the required quality standards.

As a temporary member of the team, you will be expected to ramp quickly, independently drive defined workstreams, and leave behind robust processes, documentation, and tools that enable teams to operate effectively after the engagement.
