Process Development Scientist II 

 

POSITION PURPOSE:

 

The Process Development Scientist-II 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 Note Book. The successful 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 to agrochemicals by 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 Contribute to the Chemical Development Process by conducting laboratory experiments by own hands 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 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.Support Chemical Development Lead in preparation of  SOPs, and other relevant documents (e.g. Technical Reports, Presentations, Technology Dossier).Work independently or in a team in advancing projects and studies within required timelines Follow all company, site and laboratory Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS)-related protocols, processes, guidelines and SOPs.
