What You’ll Do

The QC Laboratory Technician performs established physical, wet chemistry, moisture, and dissolution testing in support of quality control activities for oral solid dosage and oral liquid pharmaceutical products. This role prepares samples and solutions, maintains laboratory readiness, and documents testing activities accurately in accordance with approved procedures and cGMP requirements. Reporting to the QC Group Leader, the QC Laboratory Technician independently executes assigned procedures after qualification and promptly reports atypical results, equipment concerns, and procedural issues.

Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare samples, reagents, buffers, dissolution media, and solutions using approved instructions, calibrated equipment, and prescribed calculations.
• Perform wet chemistry and moisture testing, including pH, titration, Karl Fischer, loss on drying, and residue on ignition, according to approved procedures and documented qualifications.
• Conduct physical testing, including viscosity, density, refractive index, particle size, and microscopy, as applicable to assigned products.
• Execute dissolution testing for immediate-release, extended-release, and delayed-release products using approved apparatus, media, sampling schedules, and calculations.
• Perform tablet and capsule testing, including weight variation, hardness, thickness, friability, and disintegration, and assigned oral liquid and suspension testing within qualified methods.
• Receive, label, store, and track laboratory samples; support stability sample handling and testing within assigned qualifications.
• Document observations, calculations, and results contemporaneously, maintain laboratory logbooks, and promptly report atypical results, equipment issues, and procedural deviations.
• Clean glassware and laboratory equipment, replenish supplies, maintain reagent labeling and inventory, perform assigned equipment checks, and handle laboratory waste in accordance with safety and cGMP requirements.

What We’re Looking For

Experience:

• No prior professional laboratory experience required.
• Experience performing laboratory support, physical testing, or wet chemistry in a pharmaceutical or other regulated environment preferred.
• Qualification on each assigned test and instrument required before independent execution. Chromatographic testing requires separate qualification and authorization.

• Ability to accurately use balances, pipettes, volumetric glassware, and assigned physical and wet chemistry equipment.
• Ability to execute established testing procedures and recognize conditions requiring escalation.
• Understanding of accurate documentation, sample traceability, laboratory housekeeping, and chemical safety.
• Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to clearly communicate observations and enter results into approved worksheets or laboratory systems.
• Ability to perform laboratory tasks involving standing, sitting, fine motor movements, and lifting or moving up to 20 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Ability to follow cGMP, data integrity, and PPE requirements while working with laboratory chemicals, solvents, and instrumentation.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation with annual performance bonus eligibility
