About Atomgrid

Atomgrid is building a new-age, asset-light, R&D-driven specialty chemicals platform, combining process innovation, market intelligence, and reliable contract manufacturing.

We operate across Agrochemicals, Surfactants & Emulsifiers, Flavours & Fragrances, and Pharmaceuticals, with a growing team of scientists, technology engineers, and project managers focused on delivering high-quality solutions, on time and at the right cost.

Founded by IIT-IIM alumni and backed by leading VCs, we’re building the manufacturing capabilities of a global specialty chemicals company from the ground up.

About the Role

We are looking for an Engineer – Technology Transfer with strong hands‑on experience in agrochemical formulations, process scale‑up, and plant integration.

This is a highly execution‑oriented role for someone who enjoys being at the intersection of R&D, manufacturing, and contract manufacturing partners — taking processes from the laboratory to commercial production and solving technical challenges on the ground.

What you’ll work on

End‑to‑End Process Scale‑Up

• Oversee the R&D process from laboratory scale through commercial production.
• Work closely with R&D teams on process optimisation, modifications, and pilot‑scale trials.
• Lead scale‑up from commercial pilot to plant‑scale implementation, ensuring technical feasibility and process reliability.

Plant‑Scale Integration

• Work with manufacturing teams to optimise plant processes.
• Troubleshoot technical and operational challenges during scale‑up and production.
• Ensure successful technology transfer and reliable implementation at manufacturing sites.

Job Work Site Management

• Act as the primary liaison with contract manufacturing partners.
• Manage day‑to‑day operations and resolve on‑ground manufacturing challenges.
• Oversee raw material receipt, in‑process quality checks, and finished goods dispatch.
• Represent Atomgrid on‑site while ensuring process integrity and confidentiality.
• Track manufacturing trends, capacity utilisation, and new developments across key regions.

Plant Operations & Manufacturing Oversight

• Oversee day‑to‑day plant and project activities across manufacturing sites.
• Ensure manufacturing activities follow Atomgrid’s Standard Operating Procedures.
• Track and report plant operations data on a daily basis.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for deviations and share findings with management.
• Support commissioning and manufacturing activities across India.

What we’re looking for

• 3–5 years of hands‑on experience in agrochemical formulations manufacturing.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering or an agrochemicals‑related field.
• Strong exposure to contract/job‑work manufacturing setups for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
• Good understanding of agrochemical formulation processes, particularly EC, SC, WP, and WG.
• Familiarity with plant operations, technology transfer, and plant operation documentation.
• Ability to prepare and manage plant operation reports, BMR documentation, and site assessment reports.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities.
• Excellent communication and rapport‑building skills with internal teams and external manufacturing partners.
• Dynamic, goal‑oriented, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast‑paced environment.
• A genuine “go-getter” attitude and willingness to travel extensively across India.

Why Atomgrid?

This is an opportunity to join a well‑funded company at an early stage of its journey and play a foundational role in building its manufacturing capabilities.

You’ll get to:

• Work closely with a highly driven team building something ambitious in specialty chemicals.
• Take ownership of projects from R&D scale‑up to commercial manufacturing.
• Work directly with manufacturing partners and solve real‑world plant challenges.
• Be part of building Atomgrid’s manufacturing network from the ground up.
• Grow rapidly in a high‑learning, high‑responsibility environment.

• Competitive compensation + performance incentives.

If you have strong agrochemical formulations and scale‑up experience and enjoy working hands‑on with manufacturing operations, we’d love to hear from you.
