Job Title: Lead QC ScientistJob Description

The Lead QC Scientist oversees and performs analytical testing and data review for raw materials, in-process and finished pharmaceutical dosage forms, stability samples, and cleaning verification samples in accordance with written procedures, compendial methods, and applicable SOPs. This role calculates and reports results against established specifications, leads and participates in method transfer activities within and between facilities or organizations, and provides technical feedback to enhance analytical systems, procedures, and overall compliance. The Lead QC Scientist also provides project leadership to a small group of scientists, offering guidance and support when analytical problems arise.

Responsibilities

Perform, train, and review chemical analysis of raw materials, in-process and finished pharmaceutical products, including stability samples, using written methods or compendial methods and material specifications, with techniques such as IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and chromatographic methods, while strictly adhering to SOPs.
Prepare samples for analysis using chromatographic techniques, ensuring thorough cleanliness and careful execution of complex preparation steps, and conduct analyses in accordance with established procedures.
Create and maintain accurate and complete laboratory documentation, including notebooks and computer-based records, clearly describing the steps taken during analysis, and calculate and report results in a timely and compliant manner.
Review, interpret, and evaluate analytical data generated by co-workers for accuracy, precision, trends, potential GMP impact, and completeness, ensuring that results meet quality and regulatory expectations.
Demonstrate and promote good laboratory techniques to prevent cross-contamination and misidentification of samples, and prioritize scientists work assignments to support project timelines and deliverables.
Perform, train, and review physical analyses using complex techniques such as X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), RAMAN spectroscopy, and ICP-MS, ensuring robust and reliable data.
Lead and actively participate in investigations of out-of-specification (OOS) laboratory results, identifying root causes, recommending corrective actions, and documenting findings in accordance with quality procedures.
Actively participate in method transfer activities between facilities within the organization or with external organizations, ensuring methods are appropriately verified and implemented.
Lead and track the execution of method transfer, method verification, and method validation protocols, ensuring timely completion and accurate documentation.
Assist the laboratory supervisor with non-routine special projects that require laboratory-based activities, providing technical input and hands-on support as needed.
Ensure expired chemicals and reference standards are identified and removed from laboratory areas in accordance with procedures and good laboratory practices.
Perform calibration of HPLC and GC instruments as assigned, ensuring equipment remains in a qualified and reliable state for routine testing.
Interact closely with lab technicians and scientists to provide hands-on training in basic and advanced analytical techniques and laboratory practices, supporting skill development across the QC team.
Support testing across multiple dosage forms and wet chemistry analyses, contributing expertise in HPLC and other chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods.
Communicate effectively with QC colleagues and technical staff to coordinate testing activities, share analytical insights, and maintain alignment with project and departmental goals.

Essential Skills

Bachelors degree (BA/BS) in Chemistry or a related science discipline is required.
Masters degree (MS/MA) in Chemistry or a related science discipline is preferred.
At least 5 years of experience testing pharmaceutical products with a bachelors degree, including a minimum of 1 year leading or supervising projects.
At least 3 years of experience testing pharmaceutical products with a masters degree.
At least 1 year of experience leading projects in a laboratory or quality control setting.
In-depth knowledge of analytical chemistry techniques, including spectrophotometric methods, dissolution and drug release testing, and chromatographic techniques (standalone or hyphenated).
Hands-on experience with IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, HPLC, GC, and wet chemistry techniques applied to pharmaceutical analysis.
Experience testing multiple pharmaceutical dosage forms in a QC environment.
Proficiency in measuring physical parameters such as viscosity, particle size or droplet size by laser diffraction, and melting point determination by DSC.
Ability to perform and interpret complex physical analyses using techniques such as X-ray diffraction, DSC, RAMAN spectroscopy, and ICP-MS.
Strong ability to follow and apply compendial procedures (USP, EP, BP, JP) for analytical testing.
Solid understanding and practical application of cGMP requirements as they relate to quality control laboratories.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex analytical and instrument-related problems effectively and in a timely manner, and to report actions and outcomes to laboratory management.
Ability to identify trends in analytical data and assess potential quality and GMP impacts.
Strong documentation skills, with the ability to maintain detailed, accurate, and compliant laboratory records in both paper and electronic formats.
Demonstrated capability to review and evaluate analytical data generated by others for accuracy, precision, completeness, and adherence to specifications.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience leading small project teams or groups of scientists within a QC or analytical laboratory environment.
Experience participating in and leading method transfer, method verification, and method validation activities between facilities or organizations.
