In this role, you will be at the forefront of developing, optimizing, and validating analytical methods that ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of our products. Your expertise will drive continuous improvement in laboratory processes, support regulatory compliance, and contribute to the advancement of our scientific capabilities. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate chemist eager to make a meaningful impact in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Responsibilities The Analytical Chemist will be the Liaison between Quality Control, Product Development, and Contract laboratories by evaluating and assessing testing methodologies and their application to different sample matrices. This responsibility also includes evaluating test results from contract laboratories to ensure that the agreed-upon methods and testing parameters were correctly followed. The AMD Chemist will help with testing routine and non-routine samples as needed in the Quality Control laboratory. When new samples are received from potential suppliers, the Chemist will evaluate testing feasibility in-house before sending them to a contract laboratory. The AMD Chemist will work with stability program personnel by keeping up with how new products are behaving during stability studies. Assist in evaluating new testing applications, calibrating instrumentation, developing methods, or adopting compendial methods. They help transfer these new methods into a Quality Control function for routine use. The AMD Chemist ensures that at least these methods are accurate, precise, and robust for daily use on specific samples. Assist the laboratory personnel in resolving Out of Specification (OOS) results in the analytical laboratory. They will ensure proper use of the analytical instrumentation and that no malfunctions are causing the OOS result. The AMD Chemist will ensure that no other interferences from the product formulations are causing the OOS result. Assist in training new laboratory personnel. All training performed under the supervision of the AMD Chemist will be documented in accordance with established SOPs. Understanding chemical theory and analytical instrumentation such as HPLC, GC, ICP- MS, ICP-OES, etc. The AMD should be able to handle specific projects and other necessary functions required in meeting company objectives.
