- This position involves in the development and optimization of pharmaceutical formulations and encapsulation systems for capsule dosage forms, functional foods, nutraceuticals, and food ingredients, with a focus on enhancing stability, performance, and delivery of sensitive components.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and develop formulations for functional foods, nutraceuticals, and food ingredients

- Apply encapsulation technologies to protect sensitive compounds (e.g., flavors, vitamins, probiotics, bioactives)

- Develop encapsulated systems for capsule filling, including powders, granules, pellets, beads, microspheres, and lipid-based fills

- Evaluate stability, release behavior, and performance of encapsulated ingredients under food processing and storage conditions

- Conduct laboratory trials, pilot studies, and data analysis

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D;, quality, and product development

- Document experimental methods, results, and technical reports in compliance with food industry standards

Qualification and Experience





- Masters or PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related field

- 3 to 5 years of experience in formulation and encapsulation in pharmaceutical, food or nutraceutical applications

- Expertise in encapsulation approaches such as emulsions,pelletization, spray drying, spray congealing, fluid-bed coating, liposomes, coacervation, and polymer-based microencapsulation

- Robust understanding of ingredient interactions, stability, and release mechanisms in food matrices

- Ability to work in shifts.

Preferably

Male.
