XRD Specialist (Material Science Lab)

Dear All,

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Material characterization Scientist to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the development, validation, and review of material characterization techniques, including X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Surface Area Analyzer, Rheometer, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Ion Chromatography (IC), Particle Size Distribution(PSD) and Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). You will play a key role in advancing the capabilities of these techniques, ensuring their validation and providing expert reviews for research and development projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Development of Analytical Methods:

  Lead the development and optimization of material characterization methods using XRD, Surface Area Analyzer, Rheometer, DSC, TGA, IC, PSD, PLM, ICP-MS, AAS, GC-MS/MS and other related techniques. Ensure these methods meet industry standards and project requirements.

• Validation of Analytical Techniques:

  Design, execute, and oversee the validation of analytical techniques for accuracy, precision, and reproducibility. Ensure that all methods are compliant with internal and regulatory guidelines.

• Review of Analytical Data and Reports:

  Perform critical reviews of experimental data, ensuring results are consistent with scientific principles and project objectives. Provide expert guidance on the interpretation of complex data and trends.

• Collaboration with CFT Teams:

  Collaborate with cross-functional teams like formulation development and quality control labs to support material characterization for product development, optimization and release analysis.

• Continuous Improvement of Methods:

  Identify and implement opportunities for improving existing analytical techniques. Stay current with advancements in material science and characterization techniques, ensuring that the teams capabilities remain cutting-edge.

• Documentation and Compliance:

  Maintain accurate records of all development, validation, and review processes. Ensure that all activities comply with relevant regulatory standards and quality control measures.

• Troubleshooting and Instrumentation Support:

  Provide expert troubleshooting support for analytical instruments and techniques. Ensure the proper maintenance and calibration of instruments such as XRD, DSC, TGA, PSD, ICP-MS, AAS, Rheometer, IC and GC-MS/MS.

• Training and Knowledge Transfer:

  Lead training sessions for team members and junior scientists on new methods and techniques. Share knowledge on best practices for method development, validation, and analysis.

Qualifications:

• Education:

  A masters in chemistry, Materials Science or a related field is required.

• Experience:

• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on experience with analytical techniques and theoretical knowledge (XRD, DSC, TGA, PSD, Surface Area Analyzer, ICP-MS, AAS, Rheometer, IC, GC-MS/MS).
• Strong experience in developing, validating analytical methods and release analysis.
