About the Role:
We are seeking a hands-on, startup-minded Quality Control (QC) Scientist to own analytical Quality oversight for a peptide-focused API manufacturing site with early-phase drug product development capabilities. This role supports two parallel programs for GMP peptide API manufacturing and sterile peptide formulation and development. This role also fills the dedicated analytical/QC function that ensures batches and data are generated, tested, and dispositioned to a compliant, inspection-ready standard.
The ideal candidate brings strong analytical fundamentals, practical GMP judgment, and the ability to operate in a build-as-you-go setting. This individual is comfortable qualifying methods, writing specifications, leading laboratory investigations, and managing outsourced testing, while partnering closely with Quality, Operations, and Technical teams to keep tech transfer and batch disposition timelines on track.
You Will:
-
Own QC analytical oversight across both the peptide API manufacturing and sterile formulation development programs, including in-process, release, and stability-related testing as applicable.
-
Develop, review, and maintain specifications, analytical test methods, and in-process control strategies for API synthesis and sterile drug product development.
-
Plan, execute, and oversee analytical method qualification and validation activities in accordance with ICH and compendial (USP) expectations.
-
Lead and document OOS/OOT and other laboratory investigations, identifying root cause and driving appropriate corrective and preventive actions.
