Quality Control (QC) Chemist | Inhalation Products (MDI Focus) Onsite in

Fall River, MA Schedule:

8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (flex based on production/testing needs) Full-Time Step into a critical role where science meets patient impact. As a QC Chemist specializing in inhalation products, you'll play a vital role in ensuring the safety, quality, and performance of metered dose inhalers (MDIs) and related dosage forms that patients rely on every day. This is not your average QC role—here, you'll work on complex aerosol and particle-based delivery systems, applying advanced analytical techniques to confirm product integrity and regulatory compliance in a highly controlled cGMP environment. What You'll Do Analytical Testing & Expertise Perform routine and advanced QC testing for pharmaceutical dosage forms, with a strong focus on inhalation products (MDI/DPI systems) Evaluate critical quality attributes (CQA) such as particle size distribution, spray pattern, plume geometry, and dose uniformity Operate and maintain advanced instrumentation: Gas Chromatography (GC) Particle Size Analyzers (e.g., laser diffraction, cascade impaction) ICP (trace elemental analysis) Execute specialized inhalation testing protocols including propellant-based system assessments Material & Product Understanding Apply working knowledge of raw materials, propellants, excipients, and canister/valve systems specific to aerosol delivery Support testing across multiple dosage forms (solid oral, liquids, injectables, topical, and inhalation platforms) Data Integrity & Investigations Ensure strict adherence to cGMP, data integrity standards, and ALCOA principles Investigate OOS, deviations, and atypical results, contributing to root cause analysis and corrective actions Documentation & Compliance Maintain accurate, audit-ready documentation aligned with FDA and regulatory expectations Follow and continuously improve SOPs in a structured QC environment What Makes You a Strong Candidate Education & Technical Background Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or Physics (highly preferred fields aligned with role expectations) Strong foundation in analytical techniques and data interpretation Industry Experience Proven experience in a pharmaceutical QC environment (required) Hands-on exposure to multiple dosage forms, especially: Tablets/Capsules Liquid formulations Injectables Topicals MDI/DPI inhalation products (highly preferred) Functional Expertise Experience specifically in Quality Control roles (primary function) Comfortable working in a fully onsite, regulated lab environment with fixed schedules and SOP-driven workflows Strong communication skills and ability to interpret, document, and present scientific findings Work Environment Operate in a state-of-the-art cGMP laboratory handling solvents, powders, and aerosol systems Required use of
