Chemist / Scientific Expert Ultra-Trace Analysis / Mass Spectrometry

Do you want to contribute to further improving the safety and quality of pharmaceutical products using state-of-the-art analytical methods? In this demanding scientific position, you develop and validate highly sensitive mass spectrometric analysis methods and work on issues that directly influence the development of innovative drugs and packaging systems. Become part of our Global R&D team and actively shape the future of healthcare.

• Development, optimization, and validation of highly sensitive LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS methods for pharmaceutical products, process materials, and packaging systems.
• Identification, quantification, and structural elucidation of organic trace compounds using modern mass spectrometric methods.
• Planning, execution, and scientific evaluation of analytical development, investigation, and root cause analyses.
• Assessment of data quality, method performance, and atypical results as well as derivation of appropriate follow-up measures.
• Preparation of scientific reports and technical contributions for registration documents and authority inquiries.
• Scientific consulting and close collaboration with interdisciplinary teams from development, quality, and regulatory affairs.
• GMP-compliant execution, documentation, and continuous further development of analytical methods and processes.

• Successfully completed degree in analytical chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, or a comparable field; PhD an advantage.
• Several years of professional experience in mass spectrometric ultra-trace analysis and quantitative method development in a regulated environment.
• Sound knowledge of LC-MS/MS, ideally complemented by practical experience with GC-MS/MS.
• Experience in method validation, sample preparation, data interpretation, and handling of very low detection and quantification limits.
• Good knowledge of regulatory requirements, especially GMP, data integrity, and deviation and OOS management.
• Very good German and English skills, both written and spoken.
• Strong analytical mindset, independent working style, and the ability to communicate complex matters understandably.
