QC Chemist I

QC Chemist I

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Samples of chemical components, manufactured bulk product, and finished drug product are submitted to the QC Laboratory for testing. The Chemist utilizes standard methods of analysis and numerous analytical techniques in testing these samples. They document their results and generate reports as required by the QC Lab Manager to whom they report directly.

JOB FUNCTIONS:

• Perform physicochemical tests on intermediate and finished goods. Typical testing includes active ingredient and preservative assay, viscosity, pH, density, etc. general identification tests, thin-layer chromatography, etc. Methods must be accurately followed and testing results properly, accurately and completely documented.
• Perform physicochemical tests on incoming chemical components (raw materials). Typical tests include assay, density, water content, LOD, ROI, identification, etc.
• Maintain organized, sanitary, and safe working environment.
• Keep Retain Sample Room organized and in working order.
• Wear adequate PPE while performing job function.
• Conduct special projects as directed by QC Lab Manager
• Perform other duties as assigned

QUALIFICATIONS

• Must be proficient on classic “wet” chemistry techniques. Such as titration, gravimetric analysis, separation, decantation, filtration, precise analytical weighing, precise volumetric preparations and transfers, etc.
• Must be able to operate analytical instrumentation such as IR, UV/Vis, KF, Polarimeter, TOC, potentiometric titrator, etc.
• Have a basic knowledge of how analytical instrumentation works.
• Have basic instrumentation troubleshooting skills.
• Must be able to interpret analytical data and be proficient in typical mathematical conversions including stoichiometry.
• Be able to derive mathematical calculations from analytical methods.
• Be able to calculate linear regressions, interpolations and extrapolations of data points.
