Job Description

Role Overview and Key Responsibilities:

Technical Development Support

- Partner with TS/MS scientists/analytical scientist in India, US and Ireland to design, develop, and refine laboratory scale processes.
- Establish, maintain, and optimize unit operations used in the process development lab (e.g., chromatography, filtration, mixing, crystallization, upstream/downstream studies, formulation experiments, and others).
- Develop scale down models that accurately represent full scale operations and use them to support process characterization, robustness studies, and troubleshooting.
- Conduct hands on laboratory experimentation, data analysis, and technical reporting to support key development and manufacturing decisions.

Process Optimization Technology Transfer

- Support tech transfer activities by preparing process documentation, generating process parameters, and enabling smooth movement of processes from lab to pilot or manufacturing scale.
- Support technical process issues and to implement long term improvements informed by lab experimentation.
- Apply engineering fundamentals and first principles thinking to develop innovative solutions, improve process understanding, and enhance robustness.
- Adhere to protected operation of laboratory equipment and ensure compliance with EHS expectations.
- Maintain high quality documentation practices, including experimental protocols, batch records, and engineering analyses.

Cross Functional Collaboration

- Collaborate closely with automation, analytical, mechanical,



and instrumentation engineering groups to introduce new tools, models, and technologies.
- Partner with Quality, TS/MS, and manufacturing to align development activities with long term production needs.

Education and experience Requirement:

- Ph.D. in scientific disciplines of Biochemistry, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related fields, or equivalent industry experience Ph.D., Post Doc in Chemistry (Small molecule and Peptide chemistry) with 5-12 years experience.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in process development, lab scale engineering, or manufacturing support in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or similar industries.
- Experience with process modeling software (e.g., Aspen, MATLAB, statistical design tools).
- Working knowledge of GMP expectations and laboratory quality systems.
- Demonstrated experience in technology transfer and scale up/scale down, in laboratory scale unit operations relevant to the role (e.g., chromatography, TFF, bioreactors, mixing systems, filtration and drying technologies).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong problem solving abilities and abilities to work independently with minimal direction.

Other Information:

- Some travel (domestic and international) less than 5% may be required.
