Quality Control Chemist

We are seeking QC Chemists to support Quality Control operations in a cGMP-regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. This role involves performing analytical testing on raw materials, in-process samples, intermediates, and finished products while ensuring full compliance with regulatory and quality standards.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands‑on laboratory experience across both wet chemistry and instrumental analysis
, with a solid understanding of pharmaceutical quality systems and a strong commitment to data integrity and product quality.

• Perform routine QC testing of raw materials, in‑process samples, intermediates, and finished pharmaceutical products in compliance with cGMP requirements.
• Conduct analytical testing using a range of laboratory instrumentation, including HPLC, GC Headspace, FTIR, UV-Visible Spectroscopy, and Ion Chromatography (IC).
• Perform wet chemistry techniques such as titrations, Karl Fischer (KF) moisture analysis, solution and reagent preparation, cleaning validation, swab sampling, and equipment verification.
• Prepare samples, execute analytical methods, review results, and accurately document all testing activities.
• Operate, calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot laboratory instruments and equipment.
• Support analytical method validation, method transfer, and routine laboratory troubleshooting.
• Participate in investigations related to OOS (Out-of-Specification), OOT (Out-of-Trend), deviations, and CAPA
  .
• Ensure complete and accurate documentation in compliance with SOPs, cGMP, GDP, and ALCOA+ data integrity principles.
• Contribute to internal audits, regulatory inspections, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Hands‑on experience with both instrumental analysis (HPLC and/or GC Headspace preferred) and wet chemistry techniques
  .
• Ability to independently perform laboratory testing, evaluate results, and review data with minimal supervision.
• Experience supporting or performing method validation, method transfer, and analytical troubleshooting.
• Strong understanding of routine QC laboratory operations and pharmaceutical testing workflows.

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry or a related scientific discipline.
• 0–5 years of Quality Control or analytical laboratory experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
• Working knowledge of cGMP
  , GDP, and pharmaceutical quality systems.
• Strong documentation, organizational, and analytical skills with a focus on data integrity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a fast‑paced laboratory environment.

• Prior experience in a pharmaceutical Quality Control laboratory.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality and regulatory compliance.
• Effective troubleshooting and problem‑solving abilities across both wet chemistry and instrumentation.
• Ability to adapt to shifting priorities and support flexible or shift‑based lab operations.
• Team-oriented mindset with a proactive, quality‑driven approach.
