Role Objective / Major Purpose of the Job To drive the successful lab-scale demonstration, process optimization, and technology transfer of new synthetic molecules from R&D to full-scale manufacturing. The role focuses on scaling up unit operations safely and cost-effectively through engineering calculations, troubleshooting plant deviations (OOS/failed batches), and coordinating with cross-functional teams (CFT) to ensure seamless execution, regulatory compliance, and capacity enhancement. Principal Tasks & Responsibilities • Understanding the process details with the concerned scientist through lab-level experiments and discussing potential operational challenges at the plant level. • Optimizing operational parameters across various unit operations (e.g., crystallization, distillation, drying, extraction) based on energy efficiency, cost reduction, and safety guidelines. • Identifying facility requirements, including equipment and utilities, required for smooth production execution. • Investigating root causes for failed plant batches and conducting laboratory trials to implement corrective solutions. • Driving solvent recovery initiatives and optimizing process parameters for system capacity enhancement. • Scaling up products from R&D to plant level using precise engineering calculations and reaction kinetics evaluation. • Maintaining complete accuracy and proper archiving of technical documents and records to ensure seamless retrievability. • Upholding high quality and EHS safety standards across all laboratory and scale-up activities. • Coordinating with R&D, TT, ARL, EHS, Engineering, and Plant teams to ensure seamless execution of technology transfer activities. • Planning and executing particle size distribution (PSD) batches and experiments using Air Jet Mills and Multimills. Key Skills & Competencies Functional / Technical: Process Study, Equipment Equivalency Study, and Technical Documentation. Behavioural: Awareness of Result Orientation, Process Orientation, and Innovative Mindset.
