Process Development Scientist I
POSITION PURPOSE:
The Process Development Scientist-I with some supervision from the Chemical Development Lead focuses on the route scouting and Chemical Process Development of Bayers' existing and pipeline crop protective agents. Collaborates with all internal and external functional teams. The job holders ensure all the experimental work is done following the highest safety standards and document the generated data in the Electronic Lab Notebook. The applicant will have an excellent practical and theoretical understanding of synthetic organic chemistry or a relevant technology and can design and execute high-quality, thoughtful experimentation while making significant contributions both independently and as a member of a team. The candidate will work within an interdisciplinary and cross-divisional team in the Crop Protection Innovation organization.
TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
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 solutionsConduct 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 Agentsdeveloping 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 reactionsThis is a highly practical role where you will be working in the R&D 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.
