Process Development Scientist I

Conduct process chemistry research as an individual contributor, which includes, but is not limited to, research on inventing new synthetic routes and associated manufacturing processes that turn the molecules into agrochemical solutions.

Conduct experiments for route scouting, process optimization, safety evaluation, high throughput screening and chemo/biocatalytic reaction discovery and optimization.

Invent synthetic routes and develop safe, robust, and cost-effective processes to manufacture Crop Protection Agents.

developing the synthetic routes Contribute to the Chemical Development Process by conducting laboratory experiments by own hand and providing experimental results, technical updates, documentation, data interpretation, recommendations for process optimization, etc With the help of the Process Engineer optimize unit operations Investigate optimization, generate safety and process engineering data required for scale-up of chemical reactions.

This is a highly practical role where you will be working in the RD laboratories to generate new synthetic routes and assist in the design, planning and execution of multi-step experimental studies guided by risk assessment to deliver safe, efficient, robust manufacturing processes.

Collaborate within project teams by working closely with analytical chemists, process engineers, pilot plant team and project managers within the Crop Protection Innovation organization.

Staying up to date with the latest advancements in chemistry and technologies.

Find opportunities to use these technologies in solving process development challenges.

Follow all company, site and laboratory Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS)-related protocols, processes, guidelines and SOPs.

Actively participate in EHS discussions with peers and management for continuous improvement of EHS practices.

WHO YOU ARE.

Sc/M.

Experience in independent planning and execution of experiments for multistep synthesis of complex organic molecules.

Experience in independent interpretation of data from experiments and using it to make conclusions/decisions regarding the direction of future experimentation.

Comprehensive and state-of-the-art knowledge of modern synthetic methodologies as well as a basic understanding of organic reaction mechanisms and retrosynthesis.

Strong understanding of small molecule analysis including chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques and structure elucidation by NMR and Mass Spectroscopy is required.

Embraces ambitious goals and drives progress with urgency.

Consistently seeking opportunities to acquire knowledge, develop skills, and share insights.

Possesses a strong willingness to learn and grow through challenging experiences, actively engaging in giving and receiving constructive feedback to foster continuous improvement.

Effectively interacts with diverse teams across functions, cultivating strong working relationships with both internal and external collaborators to enhance overall performance.

Ability to work in the shifts.

Ever feel burnt out by bureaucracyUs too.

Thats why were changing the way we work for higher productivity, faster innovation, and better results.

We call it Dynamic Shared Ownership (DSO).
