Scientist

Job Description: Scientist - Process R&D (Organic Synthesis) Role Overview We are seeking a highly skilled and results-driven R&D Scientist to join our research team in Bhiwadi . The ideal candidate will be an expert in organic synthesis with a proven track record of scaling processes from laboratory (kilogram) to commercial (metric ton) production. You will play a pivotal role in developing innovative aroma chemicals, optimizing reaction efficiency, and ensuring seamless technology transfer to manufacturing. Key Responsibilities: Process Development & Scale-Up: Lead multi-step organic synthesis projects, scaling processes from lab (g/kg) to commercial (metric ton) production. Reaction Management: Execute and optimize complex organic reactions, including hydrogenation, oxidation, condensation, esterification, and Friedel-Crafts alkylation/acylation. Equipment Operations: Safely operate and maintain high-pressure autoclaves, continuous vapor-phase reactors, and vacuum distillation systems. Analytical Support: Use GC, HPLC, and related techniques to monitor reactions, assess purity, and troubleshoot process deviations. Documentation & Compliance: Maintain accurate ELN and technical documentation while ensuring compliance with GMP and EHS standards. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with production, QA, and engineering teams to resolve technical issues and improve process efficiency, yield, and cost. Desired Profile Education: M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry from a reputed institution. Experience: 3 to 7 years of industrial experience in the aroma chemical, fragrance, or fine organic chemical industry. Technical Proficiency: Proven experience in scaling chemical processes from laboratory to commercial manufacturing, with expertise in hazardous reactions and advanced process equipment. Preferred experience in process innovation, route scouting, and commercialization of fine chemicals or aroma chemicals. Strong knowledge of reaction engineering, catalyst optimization, DoE, process safety, technology transfer, and sustainable, cost-effective process development. Familiarity with patent literature, intellectual property generation, and analytical techniques such as GC-MS, LC-MS, NMR, and FTIR is an added advantage. Attributes : High level of technical ownership and a collaborative mindset. Strong scientific , problem-solving skills, a passion for innovation, and the ability to work independently while leading cross-functional projects from concept to commercialization. Shift Availability: Must be able to work in rotational shifts as required by production cycles.
