Principal Research Scientist I, Engineering

Role: Senior process engineer leading research and development activities for late-stage API and natural product projects, focusing on process robustness, scale-up risks, and technology transfer from lab to manufacturing. Responsibilities: assess key unit operations (reactions, crystallizations), optimize processes across modalities (small molecules, antibody conjugates, peptides, natural products), and ensure GxP compliance. Serve as a project lead, generate innovative strategies, and mentor scientific personnel. Collaborate cross-functionally with technical, quality, regulatory, and manufacturing teams. Requirements: BS/MS/PhD in chemical engineering or related field with 6+ to 14+ years of industry experience; strong chemical engineering principles, proven project leadership, and scientific publication record. Preferred: recognized expertise, patents, conference presentations. HighValue: late-stage development, process scale-up, small molecules, biologics, conjugates, natural products, GxP, cross-functional collaboration, manufacturing transfer, and regulatory readiness. WorkSetup: not specified.
