Do you have a passion for IT, automation, and robotics? Would you like to join a winning team supporting the next generation of Cell Therapy manufacturing in one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies? If you thrive in an environment of innovation and change in a fast-growing organization, then this could be the role for you.
AstraZeneca is a global, science-led, patient-focused biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of prescription medicines for some of the world's most serious diseases.
Introduction to Role
Join us at AstraZeneca, a place that champions knowledge-sharing, ambitious thinking, and innovation. We are looking for an integral member to join our Cell
Therapy Supply Chain – Robotics & Automation IT team. This role has a global remit and will play a critical part in delivering IT infrastructure, software integration, and cybersecurity capabilities for our robotic manufacturing platform.
The role focuses on enabling the deployment and sustained operation of robotic clusters within a GMP cell therapy manufacturing environment. You will be responsible for ensuring seamless IT/OT integration, supporting automation programming, managing vendor software platforms, and ensuring compliance with pharmaceutical cybersecurity standards. This position supports our strategic partnership with an external robotics vendor and directly contributes to patient-impacting manufacturing timelines.
Accountability
In this role, you will be responsible for delivering reliable IT and software engineering support across the full lifecycle of robotic cluster deployment—from Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) through Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), installation qualification, operational qualification, and ongoing production operations. You will manage integration between robotic systems and enterprise platforms (MES, LIMS, ELN), implement cybersecurity controls aligned with DoD Zero Trust architecture and ISA-62443 standards, and collaborate cross-functionally with supply chain, quality, engineering, and external vendor teams.
You will serve as the primary technical interface between AstraZeneca IT and the robotics vendor's software and automation engineering teams, ensuring that platform readiness milestones are met and that all software licensing, data integrity, and system availability requirements are fulfilled.

Benefits offered include qualified retirement programs, paid time off (i.e., vacation, holiday, and leaves), as well as health, dental, and vision coverage in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans.
When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we ignite ambitious thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility.
Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
