DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Applies expert knowledge in scientific/engineering theories to execute overall project assignments. Contributes significantly to the projects in the area of specialty through original suggestions and is able to realign project objectives within a reasonably short time frame if project redirection is required.
2. Conceptualizes, prioritizes and schedules project deliverables. Determines trade-offs between product features, product delivery and resource availability. Maintains technical liaisons with individuals within and outside the organization with the responsibility for acting independently on technical matters.
3. Interprets experimentation results to determine appropriate course of action. Acts as a sounding board for testing scientific hypotheses and as a stimulus for the attainment of the highest caliber of scientific thinking and experimentation.
4. Develops and/or directs experimentation.
5. Leads and works effectively with cross-functional teams (Regulatory, Quality, Research & Development and Operations).
6. Formulates and conducts systematic investigation of product and process problem areas.
7. Plans, trains, schedules, carries out and/or directs projects and/or people in assigned disciplines of strategic importance. Provides technical and/or managerial guidance.
With minimum guidance, plans and executes experiments, including the analysis and interpretation of the data, and based upon the conclusions, is able to plan appropriate follow up experiments. Summarizes relevant work into written reports that synthesize experimental results into a working hypothesis and details future plans. Establish and implement SOPs for manufacturing process, manufacturing equipment, assays and troubleshooting protocols. Prepare and deliver functional presentations. Interface with other departments, other facilities and corporate partners to facilitate product development. May participate in the hiring, supervision, development and performance reviews of Scientists I, II and Senior Scientists.
