Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Process Chemist to join a dynamic Process Chemistry team supporting drug substance development. This hands-on laboratory-based role involves designing and executing complex synthetic organic chemistry routes, analyzing and interpreting data, troubleshooting synthetic challenges, and contributing to the scale-up and development of drug substance processes. The successful candidate will demonstrate technical excellence, problem-solving ability, and the flexibility to work independently and collaboratively in a matrix environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, plan, and execute synthetic organic chemistry experiments with a high degree of reliability and attention to detail.
• Analyze experimental outcomes using tools such as NMR, HPLC, LC-MS, Biotage, and other relevant analytical techniques.
• Propose and test hypotheses to advance synthetic goals and address challenges in route development or process optimization.
• Perform and manage multiple experiments efficiently to meet project timelines.
• Develop innovative and creative solutions to overcome synthetic or scale-up barriers.
• Maintain accurate and detailed records of experiments, observations, and results in a laboratory notebook.
• Draft, review, and submit documentation required under GMP or other regulatory frameworks as needed.
• Ensure compliance with company Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and applicable regulatory guidelines.
• Prepare technical reports and contribute to cross-functional team discussions on process development strategy.
• Collaborate effectively within multi-disciplinary teams and communicate findings clearly in both written and verbal formats.
• Perform additional duties as assigned by management.

Requirements

Education & Experience Requirements:

• PhD in Organic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related scientific discipline with 0–3 years of relevant synthetic chemistry experience
  OR
• Master’s degree (MS) with 2–6 years of hands-on synthetic chemistry experience
  OR
• Bachelor’s degree (BS) with 2–10 years of relevant experience in synthetic organic chemistry or process development

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in drug substance process development, including route scouting, optimization, and scale-up.
• Familiarity with cGMP manufacturing environments and regulatory documentation.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with a track record of innovation in synthetic methodology.
• Proficiency with modern laboratory instrumentation and analytical interpretation.
• Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
• Ability to adapt quickly to evolving project needs and work effectively within cross-functional teams.
