Materials Scientist

We are seeking a Material Scientist I/II to support pharmaceutical drug product development through hands-on materials characterization, experimental studies, and laboratory operations. This is a fully onsite role within a technical, collaborative environment. Approximately 70% of the role is experimental work and 30% involves laboratory management, documentation, record keeping, and audit support . What You’ll Do Execute hands-on experiments supporting pharmaceutical material and drug product development. Work with various pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, including direct compression, roller compaction, high-shear granulation, and fluid-bed granulation. Characterize bulk powders and materials, including bulk density, particle size, flowability, and imaging . Support analytical characterization using spectroscopic techniques such as infrared, near-infrared, and Raman . Set up and evaluate process parameters and support successful completion of experimental batches. Troubleshoot material and process-related issues. Perform maintenance and calibration of laboratory and manufacturing equipment. Maintain accurate laboratory records, documentation, and compliance materials for audits. Follow laboratory safety and quality requirements while working in a timeline-driven environment. Frequently lift equipment weighing up to 25 lbs. What We’re Looking For Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering , or a related scientific/engineering discipline. Hands‑on laboratory or experimental experience with materials characterization is strongly preferred. Experience with bulk powder characterization, particle sizing, flowability, density, or imaging is highly desirable. Experience with spectroscopy, particularly infrared techniques , is a plus. Strong attention to detail and documentation skills. Ability to work effectively in a technical team environment and manage multiple priorities. Experience Level Scientist I: Early-career candidates with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree and relevant academic or hands‑on laboratory experience. Scientist II: Candidates with stronger hands‑on experience in materials characterization and pharmaceutical/chemical processes are preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr
