Investigate feasibility of instruments for in‑line monitoring, ensuring methods are technically sound, well developed, and fit‑for‑purpose. Demonstrate high learning agility and the ability to understand and exploit effective scientific concepts and methods across multiple subject areas (chemistry, PAT, modeling and simulation). Support automation development (integrated control systems) between PAT tools and process data systems (synTQ or other systems). Plan and manage short‑term and long‑term development activities. Develop and review technical agendas and timelines, recommend resource allocation, communicate progress, and propose changes in timeline, objectives, or direction. Collaborate closely with organizations across development and manufacturing to deliver material and information for clinical trials and regulatory submissions. Welcome varied perspectives to create new solutions. Coordinate instrumentations between different projects to allow equal usage of available tools. Author or contribute to technical documents including SOPs, technology transfer documents, process flow diagrams, regulatory submissions, patents, and scientific papers. Ensure work and team activities are aligned with all relevant development quality, regulatory, HSE, GLP and GMP requirements.
