process chemist

Job Title: Process ChemistJob DescriptionActs to drive and demonstrate the technology for the planning and execution of development and implementation of chemical processes. Ensures that the chemistry is sufficient to meet goals on process yields, throughputs, and QEH&S requirements. Responsible for sampling, labeling, and storage of raw material and intermediates. Executes experiments and syntheses of small molecules and peptides while working on a project team. Performs peptide synthesis using commercial peptide synthesizers. Conducts analyses of samples using established or routine methods. Provides technical support to lab or plant processes. Works effectively in a team-oriented environment. Presents work orally and in the form of written development reports. Adheres to GDP and SOPs in all aspects of work. Independently plans and executes experiments, while working in a project team, toward development of viable commercial processes. Demonstrates a clear understanding of technical issues and the requirements of a viable manufacturing process. Executes procedures, processes, and methods for solutions to chemical and technical problems on a lab or plant scale. Ensures that the chemistry is capable of meeting cost, yield, throughput, and QEH&S goals on assigned processes. Leads a team to accomplish the development, transfer, or implementation of technology at a lab or plant scale. Develops and supports scalable processes and provides technical expertise and support during lab or plant operations. Each employee is expected to perform their job duties in a safe manner utilizing all their knowledge, training, ability, and experience. Ability to develop bench scale laboratory procedures into step-by-step operating instructions for chemical operators. Maintain a well-documented record of work performed in a laboratory notebook, laboratory reports, and campaign reports. Experience in the synthesis and purification of peptides (desired). Regularly seeks out new learning opportunities beyond basic skills that can result in innovative approaches to technical issues. Demonstrates clear understanding of technical issues and the requirements of a viable manufacturing process; has demonstrated independent support on multiple (not necessarily simultaneous) processes. Identifies areas where change/continuous improvement is beneficial to the business, and successfully defends and implements projects. Assumes reasonable risk in trying out new, self-generated ideas. Proactive approach to problem identification and resolution. Communicates effectively in writing and verbally within and across departments and to site management; updates are clear, selective, and effective. Ability to understand and apply statistical design of experiments and draw sound conclusions from the results; uses results when solving problems, or proposing improvements. Ability to provide leadership in all process chemistry aspects of manufacturing processes; leads teams in the development, transfer, troubleshooting, and improvement of chemical processes in an interactive, interdisciplinary team environment. Seeks out opportunities to learn manufacturing needs and methods that facilitate substantial process improvements; acquires new skills in state-of-the-art technology and applies it to their assignments. Demonstrates skills in negotiation and influencing others.Hard SkillsChemical process development and implementationPeptide synthesis requiredSample analysis using established methodsStatistical design of experimentsTechnical support in lab or plant processesSoft SkillsTeam-oriented collaborationEffective communicationProactive problem solvingLeadership and negotiationContinuous learning and improvement
