Key Responsibilities:
- Perform routine quality control testing of raw materials, in-process materials, finished products, and environmental samples in accordance with CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines.
- Conduct microbiological testing on Environmental Samples, including surface and air samples, Purified Water Samples, and perform Microbial Limit Testing for raw materials and finished products as per USP standards.
- Perform and interpret tests using analytical techniques such as HPLC, GC, Flow Cytometry, UV-Vis, and other general techniques as required.
- Ensure compliance with CGMP, FDA regulations, and other regulatory standards in all aspects of QC testing.
- Assist in writing and revising Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), reports, and protocols related to QC testing and procedures.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry, Microbiology, or a related scientific field.
- Minimum of 1 years of progressive experience in a Quality Control environment within CGMP pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or environmental laboratories.
- Hands-on experience with microbiology testing for Environmental Samples, including surface, air, and Purified Water Samples.
- Familiarity with Microbial Limit Testing, ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Gram Staining and USP guidelines.
- Solid understanding of analytical chemistry principles with direct experience in HPLC, GC, FTIR, UV-Vis, and other general analytical techniques.
- Strong knowledge of CGMP and regulatory compliance in a pharmaceutical or biotechnology setting.
- Experience working with automated laboratory systems and laboratory data management software.
