Responsibilities:

• Prepare solutions, samples, reagents, mobile phases, and other laboratory materials according to established procedures.
• Perform or support analytical testing using techniques such as HPLC, GC, Mass Spectrometry, TOC, dissolution, wet chemistry, and other laboratory methods as appropriate to experience level.
• Review and document laboratory data, testing results, calculations, and instrument outputs with accuracy and completeness.
• Use basic laboratory equipment including pipettes, pH meters, analytical balances, and laboratory glassware in daily work.
• Support sample preparation, management of laboratory supplies, cleaning of glassware, and general laboratory operations.
• Perform routine instrument checks, calibrations, and basic equipment maintenance as assigned to ensure reliable performance.
• Identify and promptly communicate unexpected results, discrepancies, or documentation concerns to appropriate team members.
• Maintain accurate, traceable laboratory records that comply with Good Documentation Practices and regulatory expectations.
• Keep laboratory work areas clean, organized, and safe, following housekeeping and safety standards.
• Follow established SOPs, GMP requirements, Good Documentation Practices, and laboratory safety procedures at all times.
• Work collaboratively with laboratory, Quality, Research and Development, and manufacturing teams to support daily testing and operational needs.
• Manage multiple priorities effectively while meeting deadlines in a structured, fast-paced environment.
