Role & responsibilities

1. Method Development & Validation

- Develop, optimize, and validate analytical methods for active ingredient assay, related impurities, and degradation products in technical and formulated agrochemical products (EC, SC, WP, GR, CS, ZC, WG, SE, SL etc.)
- Design and execute method validation protocols in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

2. Instrument Operation & Maintenance

- Operate, calibrate, and perform routine troubleshooting on high-end analytical instruments:
- Chromatography: HPLC, UHPLC, GC-FID, and GC-MS, etc.
- Spectroscopy & Wet Analysis: LC-MS/MS, ICP-OES/MS, AAS, FT-IR, Particle Size Analyser, UV-Vis, etc.

3. Documentation & Compliance

- Maintain accurate, real-time entries in physical laboratory notebooks.
- Draft Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), method validation reports (MVRs), and Certificates of Analysis (COAs).
- Ensure strict adherence to GLP (Good Laboratory Practice), NABL, and EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) protocols.

4. Cross-Functional R&D; Support

- Collaborate with product formulation teams to characterize intermediates and scale-up batches.
- Support the transfer of analytical methods from R&D; to the plant Quality Control (QC) labs and external toll manufacturing sites during new product rollouts.




- Support regulatory dossiers by generating reliable chemical data required for domestic (CIBRC) or international product registrations.

Preferred candidate profile

- Education: M.Sc. (Chemistry / Analytical Chemistry / Organic Chemistry / Agrochemicals) with a robust academic record.
