We are looking for an experienced Scientist I/Mechanical Engineer to join our Injection Device Development team to help us accelerate AbbVie’s combination of products from proof-of-concept through submission, industrialization and launch.

Our team has end-of-end accountability for commercial development, submission, industrialization and marketed product support for injection devices that enable the delivery of AbbVie’s innovative medicines. During our work we collaborate with early-stage CMC, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Internal and External Manufacturing, and other cross-functional colleagues to ensure timeliness, robustness and market success.

As a Scientist I/Mechanical Engineer at AbbVie you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals working at the intersection of engineering and biopharmaceuticals.
