Senior Scientist II, R&D Process Engineering, Center for Reaction Engineering

Role Summary

Senior Scientist II, R&D Process Engineering, Center for Reaction Engineering. Lead chemical process research and development across the pipeline, focusing on reaction engineering and process development. Develop detailed kinetic models and guide scale-up and scale-down experiments; collaborate with cross-functional teams to advance capabilities such as flow chemistry, photochemistry, and electrochemistry to meet project goals.

Responsibilities

• Conduct chemical process research and development supporting projects from pre-clinical stages through primary stability batches.
• Act as a lead engineer or reaction engineering lead to conceive and execute novel scientific research or development that achieves projects and area goals.
• Perform data-rich experimentation which enables development of detailed kinetic models.
• Perform mixing analyzes to inform the design of scale up and scale down experiments.
• Present technical approaches to cross-functional project teams, supporting strategic decisions with thorough insights and expertise.
• Proactively participate in cross-functional teams to develop novel reaction capabilities such as flow chemistry, photochemistry, electrochemistry to further develop technical capabilities to meet demands of pipeline.

Qualifications

• Education & Experience: Must have an MS in Chemical Engineering or a related field with 3 years of academic and/or industry experience in reaction engineering or process development; or PhD in Chemical Engineering or related field with 1 year of academic and/or industry experience as a reaction or process development engineer.
• Experience: Must have 3 years performing each of the following: chemical process research and development with a focus in reaction engineering; data-rich laboratory experimentation which enables the development of detailed kinetic models; mixing analyses to inform the design of scale up and scale down experiments. Alternatively, PhD with 1 year of experience in these areas. Experience may be gained concurrently; any suitable combination of education, training and work experience accepted.
