Senior Scientist, Engineering
USA - New Jersey - Rahway
Job Description
The Chemical Commercialization Technology (CCT) department, which is part of our Manufacturing Division, is seeking self-motivated individuals who are looking for an opportunity to work in a highly collaborative environment that provides substantial technical responsibility, mentoring, and leadership of internal and external work.
This Senior Scientist, Engineering position leverages significant depth and breadth of scientific/technical experience to: (1) lead and contribute to assigned late-stage Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) characterization projects, (2) mentor junior staff within the CCT organization, and (3) lead or support internal and external development with line of sight to robust supply, pre-validation, and validation for a selection of portfolio projects and provide supply support. As the early-stage Research & Development Division led portfolio progresses to late-stage projects, the incumbent is expected to help transition characterization work execution/management to CCT ownership by developing and providing scientific expertise in small molecule process characterization work by learning and utilizing Quality Risk Management methodologies and tools around the statistical design of experiments (DOE) and analysis of experiments (ANOVA, PCA, RSM, Design Expert, Minitab, JMP). Face-to-face mentoring is expected within laboratories at the Rahway, NJ site to develop junior staff. The role requires participation in one or more cross-divisional working groups and the incumbent will help influence direction for our Manufacturing Division specific needs. The role also involves collaboration (largely remotely) with external suppliers while managing process development and validation activities. Travel is expected ranging from 10 – 20% of the time. Normal travel per campaign might include a kickoff trip and a separate multi-week period of on-site coverage, typically 1-3 times per year depending on project complexity. Support of filing work, early development work, and/or piloting activities is also likely in the course of commercializing new processes.
