Micronization of drug substance is a critical process in API manufacturing for ensuring downstream critical quality attributes. Micronization processes such as pin milling and jet milling leverage feed rate control to optimize the process performance, and while feed rate is well understood for many powder systems there is a gap in understanding the feed rate control of poorly flowing materials in micronization techniques.

The Drug Substance Engineering Intern within Product Development, Science, and Technology (PDS&T) will help establish a systematic approach to understand how the physical properties of powder systems impact their feeding performance in micronization processes.

• Experimental studies to understand and characterize powder properties
• Evaluate performance of micronization techniques (i.e. jet mill, pin mill) with various feed mechanisms
• Analyze data and trends to identify signatures for process performance
• Develop and verify computational models
• Summarize and present findings in departmental and cross-functional settings

• Currently enrolled in university, pursuing a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or other related field
• Must be enrolled in university for at least one semester following the internship
• Expected graduation date between December 2027 – June 2028

• Exposure to comminution processes
• Experience with physical characterization techniques (flowability, adhesion, cohesion, bulk density, laser diffraction particle size determination)
• Proficient in computational modeling techniques (e.g., fluid dynamics, discrete element method)

• Competitive pay
• Relocation support for eligible students
• Select wellness benefits and paid holiday / sick time

• The compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation that the Company believes ingood faith it will pay for this role at thetimeofthis posting based on the job grade for this position.
