Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Process Specialist with hands-on experience in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) chemical synthesis processes and a solid understanding of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). The ideal candidate will play a critical role in optimizing manufacturing processes, ensuring compliance with GMP standards, and bridging the gap between process engineering and digital manufacturing systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Review the design, configuration, and logic of Master Batch Records (MBRs) and Parameter Value Lists (PVLs) to ensure they are fit for use in API production environments.
• Act as the process subject matter expert (SME) for API manufacturing in design workshops, collaborating with MES engineers, system integrators, and end users.
• Evaluate MES workflows to confirm alignment with actual shop floor operations, ensuring critical process parameters, material flows, and equipment usage are accurately captured.
• Participate in MBR design review sessions and provide feedback to ensure the proposed MES design supports safe, compliant, and efficient API production.
• Verify that equipment integration points (e.g., with OSI PI, DeltaV, recipe managers) are well-defined and accurately represent intended interactions with the MES.
• Identify and escalate potential design risks, process mismatches, or GMP gaps in MES workflows.
• Support deviation resolution, change controls, and continuous improvement efforts related to MES design.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Chemical Engineering, Life Sciences, or related field.
• Strong hands-on experience with API manufacturing processes, including understanding of process steps, critical parameters, and typical plant operations.
• Prior involvement in MES implementation or system validation projects (e.g., PAS-X, Siemens Opcenter) is highly preferred.
• Ability to independently assess MES design documents and provide process-aligned feedback.
