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.
