About The Position

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s oral solid dose (OSD) site in Cincinnati, Ohio, supported by over 800 employees, offers various drug development and commercial manufacturing services. These services include controlled and sustained release solid oral dosage forms, osmotic release dosage forms (laser drilling), liquid fill hard capsules, controlled substances manufacturing, and abuse-deterrent dosage forms. Join our team as a Scientist I, Manufacturing Sciences, where you'll contribute to ensuring consistent production of pharmaceutical products. As part of our Manufacturing Sciences team, you'll work at the intersection of research and production, supporting process optimization, technology transfer, and continuous improvement initiatives. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure robust, scalable manufacturing processes that meet quality standards. As a Manufacturing Scientist I, you will assist in implementing activities for the development of new and established manufacturing processes of solids, liquids, and semi-solid dosage forms. This will primarily require supporting GxP documentation and batch manufacture / execution. You will assist technical representatives on client projects and will work closely with internal and external project teams of analytical, quality, and project management representatives. Supporting process development and commercial activities will be required. You will assist in investigation, creation of, and validation of new scientific and equipment methodologies for a diverse scope of projects using experimental design and established formulation processes for product scale-up, registration, and validation. You will aid in creation processes and equipment design for clinical, scale up, and/or registration batches, including technology transfer of projects to and from clients. This will require problem solving activities as necessary with independent judgement.
