Role & responsibilities
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.
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.
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 (Workplace, Health, and Safety) protocols.
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 recent 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 strong academic record.
Experience: 3 to 4 years of hands-on R&D; or analytical lab experience specifically within the agrochemical sector.
Technical Competencies:
Positive practical knowledge of chromatographic separation science (HPLC/GC).
Familiarity with sample preparation techniques
Understanding of Indian and global agrochemical registration data requirements (CIBRC, OECD, EPA).
