  • Conduct sample preparation and execute validation methods for existing compounds, specifically focusing on HPLC analysis.
  • Optimize existing methods where possible.
  • Capture and document all test method data in accordance with cGMPs.

  • Technical writing skills, especially for laboratory validation documentation, including writing technical reports, test methods, protocols, and specifications.
  • Experience working within the life sciences industry, specifically within a cGMP/FDA regulated facility (non-biologics).

Additional Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Chemistry or a similar field.
  • Experience running sample analysis via HPLC instrumentation.
  • Experience with good documentation practices.
  • Comfortable working with a respirator, including PAPR.
