The role also includes involvement in the development, validation, and application of LC-MS and GC-MS analytical methods. This position offers a unique opportunity to build expertise at the intersection of material characterization, mass spectrometry, and pharmaceutical stability testing. Main responsibilities include:

Particle Identification and Material Characterization

• Conduct investigations of particles, fibers, polymeric materials, and other potential contaminants.
• Utilize structural and physicochemical characterization techniques such as optical microscopy, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDS, or equivalent techniques.
• Interpret analytical data to determine the likely origin and nature of unknown particles.
• Prepare technical reports and communicate findings to project, quality, and cross-functional teams.

LC-MS and GC-MS Method Development and Application

• Develop, optimize, and execute analytical methods using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
• Support structural elucidation and identification of extractables and leachables (E&L), degradation products, and unknown compounds.
• Perform routine analyses as well as complex investigations requiring interpretation of mass spectral data.
• Contribute to instrument maintenance, troubleshooting, and qualification activities.

Analytical Method Validation

• Participate in the planning and execution of analytical method validation studies.
• Assess method performance characteristics including specificity, accuracy, precision, linearity, robustness, solution stability, and range.
• Previous experience with analytical method validation is considered an advantage but is not required.

Stability Testing

• Prepare and analyse samples generated from stability study programs.
• Review and interpret analytical results.
• Support investigations related to atypical, out-of-trend, or unexpected stability results.
