The Scientist I - QC is an entry-level role responsible for performing testing of raw materials, in-process and finished pharmaceutical dosage forms, products on stability, and cleaning verification samples following written procedures and applicable SOPs. Document activities performed during testing and calculate and report results on applicable specification documents.
Essential Functions:
- Perform physical and chemical analysis of raw materials, in-process and finished pharmaceutical products (including stability) using written/compendial methods and material specifications; analytical techniques may include IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and chromatography per SOPs.
- Prepare samples for analysis with required cleanliness and complex steps for chromatographic/other analytical techniques.
- Create and maintain laboratory records (notebooks and computer-based), document exact analysis steps, and calculate/report results in a timely manner.
- Participate in investigation of laboratory results when required.
Additional Responsibilities:
- Assist scientists in the laboratory as needed.
- Notify QC Coordinator if chemical or reference standard is expired.
- Perform calibration of dissolution apparatus, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and HPLC as assigned.
- Prepare volumetric test solutions (USP or in-house), standardize solutions and API reference standard as assigned.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree (BA/BS) in Chemistry or related field (Required).
- 1+ year testing chemicals/pharmaceutical products.
- Working knowledge of analytical chemistry techniques (e.g., weighing, quantitative transfer/dilution, spectrophotometry, dissolution/drug release, disintegration, moisture determination, TLC, GC, HPLC, physical parameter measurements).
- Ability to follow compendial procedures (USP/EP/BP/JP) for wet chemical tests.
- Understanding and application of cGMP in a QC laboratory.
- OSHA-compliant respirator fit test (successful completion required).
Compensation/benefits (if explicitly stated):
- Base salary range: $68,000–$85,000 per year.
