The Small Scale Organics (SSO) Pilot Plant is a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) manufacturing facility in the Small Molecule Process Research and Development (SM PR&D) organization. The SSO pilot plant enables gain of critical internal experience with scale-up of manufacturing GMP steps, demonstration of new manufacturing technology/processes, training opportunities for improved manufacturing process development, and seamless technology transfer to commercial sites.
The SSO Operations Specialist will provide hands on assistance for daily production activities while ensuring compliance with Safety & Environmental (S&E) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) requirements to meet SSO objectives and customer requirements. The position is responsible for implementing actions to meet S&E and GMP requirements.
