Process Engineer API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient)
Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Job Summary
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Scientist in Process Engineering in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) development with proven expertise in scaling up or down technologies to meet production demands. Proficient in Process and Chemical Engineering, adept at troubleshooting complex projects, facilitating technology transfer, and optimizing operations.
Roles & Responsibilities
- You will be responsible to execute lab batches/Kilo lab/CPP batches to verify design space at scale and share observations for fine-tuning of the process, review data sheets, scale-up guideline documents, and conduct basic scale-up calculations.
- You will be responsible to execute trial and validation batches and support related activities at the plant during scale-up.
- You will be responsible to use process modeling tools like Dyno Chem, VISMIX for reaction, crystallization, filtration, solubility, and mixing studies.
- You will be responsible to generate and interpret PAT data to provide process understanding related to unit operations, develop qualitative models to monitor CPP and CQAs.
- You will be responsible to provide scale-up recommendations/control strategy based on PAT data and should develop detailed process understanding & ensure scale-up feasibility using fundamental studies of reaction kinetics, crystallization, process safety, PAT & process simulation studies.
- You will be responsible to investigate and troubleshoot issues in scale-up/validation and support troubleshooting activities in case of issues in scale-up/validation batches.
- You will be responsible to document executed experiments as per quality requirements and create online documents for execution of all batches and highlight/update the critical observations during batch processes.
- You will be responsible to draft the process for scale-up, i.e., Kilo lab, Critical Process Parameter (CPP), and validation batches in coordination with Cross-Functional Teams.
- You will be responsible to evaluate and establish possibilities of solvent, reagents, and product recoveries.
- You also need to perform lab experiments during engineering optimization.
- You will be responsible to execute kilo lab batches for scale-up studies, material build-up, and customer sample seeding. Also, support and review the compilation of the Kilo lab reports (process parameters, observations, and compliance) on completed batches.
- You will prepare campaign/equipment plans with minimal guidance and understand risks/hazards associated with the process and powder handling operations.
- You will be responsible to prepare manufacturing process and process engineering documents with minimal guidance.
- You will be responsible for the generation of technical data/conclusions through the usage of MixIT simulation and Dynochem software.
- You will contribute to lab safety initiatives.
- You should have a basic understanding of risks involved in process and powder handling operations (RC1/DSC/TSU/ARC/MIE).
