Generic drug manufacturer with respiratory and specialty pharma focus across US sites
Cipla USA operates three manufacturing plants across the Northeast, producing generic drugs and inhalation therapies with an embedded quality and manufacturing engineering footprint. The tech stack is heavily automation and instrumentation-based (SCADA, PLC, MES, LPLC, UPLC, LC-MS), reflecting a regulated-manufacturing operation managing complex analytical and process-control workflows. Active hiring concentrates on manufacturing and quality roles across mid-to-junior levels, while project focus spans enterprise systems implementation, data integrity remediation, and production-line automation—a pattern that suggests modernizing legacy manufacturing IT infrastructure while addressing CGMP compliance gaps.
Notable leadership hires: Procurement Director, Production Section Head, Packaging Section Head
