6584 - Chemist.

We are seeking a Chemist with 3–5 years of hands-on laboratory experience to support pharmaceutical drug-container interaction studies, analytical method development, and measurement science activities. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in wet chemistry, laboratory testing, experimental design, and data analysis within a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or related regulated environment.

This role will focus on evaluating drug-container interactions, supporting molecule characterization, and performing specialized laboratory measurements. Experience with pharmaceutical packaging materials, container closure systems, or packaging engineering is highly desirable.

Chemist Responsibilities:

• Conduct laboratory studies evaluating drug-container interactions, with an emphasis on Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) surface adsorption.

• Support analytical method development and testing activities related to Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT).

• Perform wet chemistry experiments, sample preparation, analytical testing, and laboratory investigations.

• Conduct Interfacial Tension (IFT) measurements to evaluate material and formulation interactions.

• Perform Break Loose Glide Force (BLGF) testing to assess syringe and container system performance.

• Support pharmaceutical molecule characterization and container closure compatibility studies.

• Develop, execute, and document laboratory protocols, experiments, and technical reports.

• Analyze, integrate, and interpret experimental data to identify trends, troubleshoot issues, and support technical recommendations.

• Prepare and deliver clear technical presentations summarizing laboratory results and study findings.

• Collaborate with scientists, engineers, and cross-functional teams to support pharmaceutical development and packaging-related initiatives.

• Maintain accurate laboratory documentation and ensure compliance with applicable safety, quality, and regulatory standards.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, or a related scientific discipline.

• 3–5 years of hands-on laboratory experience, preferably within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device industry.

• Strong foundation in chemistry with demonstrated practical experience performing wet chemistry techniques and laboratory testing.

• Experience with analytical testing, experimental design, sample preparation, and laboratory instrumentation.

• Ability to independently execute laboratory experiments, troubleshoot testing challenges, and interpret results.

• Strong analytical skills, including data analysis, integration, interpretation, and technical documentation.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present complex scientific findings.

• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple laboratory priorities.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with pharmaceutical packaging, container closure systems, or packaging engineering.

• Knowledge of Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs), surface adsorption, or drug-container interactions.

• Familiarity with Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) or related analytical method development.

• Experience performing Interfacial Tension (IFT) measurements.

• Experience with Break Loose Glide Force (BLGF) testing or syringe performance characterization.

• Familiarity with pharmaceutical formulation development, material compatibility, or surface characterization.

• Experience working in a GMP or regulated pharmaceutical laboratory environment.
