Job Description & How to Apply Below
Our client is seeking a creative and experienced Remote Chemical Process Development Scientist to spearhead the innovation of new chemical products and manufacturing routes. This position is critical for translating laboratory-scale discoveries into robust, scalable, and economically viable processes. Working exclusively from a remote location, you will collaborate with R&D chemists, engineers, and external partners to develop and optimize synthetic pathways and purification methods.
This role offers a unique opportunity for a scientist passionate about bridging the gap between research and industrial application, contributing to the development of next-generation chemical solutions from their home environment.
- Design and execute experiments to develop novel chemical synthesis routes and optimize existing processes.
- Perform bench-scale and pilot-scale studies to validate process feasibility and gather critical data.
- Characterize reaction products and intermediates using analytical techniques (e.g., HPLC, GC-MS, NMR).
- Develop and optimize purification strategies to achieve target product specifications.
- Evaluate the safety and environmental impact of new processes and identify potential hazards.
- Prepare comprehensive technical reports, present findings, and contribute to intellectual property documentation.
- PhD in Organic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in chemical process development, with a strong emphasis on synthesis and scale-up.
- Proven ability to design and conduct complex experiments and interpret results accurately.
- Hands-on experience with various analytical instrumentation for chemical characterization.
- Strong understanding of reaction engineering, thermodynamics, and separation principles.
- Excellent scientific writing and presentation skills, essential for remote collaboration.
- Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits package.
- Home office setup allowance and robust IT support.
- Flexible working hours and the autonomy of a fully remote position.
