Process Development Scientist II

• 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. He/she also needs to mentor a small group/team of people.
• 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 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.
