Technical Head Intermediate R&d Hands On Role Kota

We are building a quick, execution-driven R&D; engine focused on API intermediates and specialty chemicals.

Responsibilities

· Develop API intermediates from basic and early-stage raw materials

· Execute and optimize lab-scale reactions and scale-up to pilot and plant level

· Deliver rapid development cycles through structured experimentation (DoE) and disciplined weekly to monthly planning

· Take ownership from route selection → lab development → pilot → commercialization

· Improve yield, cost, and robustness of existing products through process optimization Build and train the R&D; team over time

Qualifications M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry or a related field 10–20 years of relevant industry experience in process development and scale-up

Experience & Skills Demonstrated experience in the development of API intermediates from early-stage raw materials (not limited to final API stages) Proven track record of having personally developed and executed multiple intermediates Strong hands-on expertise in reaction execution, process optimization, and scale-up Practical understanding of reaction chemistry, including scale-up challenges, safety, and cost considerations. Ability to independently troubleshoot technical challenges and drive solutions

Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on execution, speed, and outcomes Effective communication skills for coordination across R&D;, production and management teams Direct involvement in experimental work and scale-up

Additional Requirements This is a hands-on, in office role requiring regular presence at the plant and laboratory in Kota, Rajasthan Experience in mentoring or training junior chemists, with the ability to build team capability through execution and demonstration The role requires an execution-oriented mindset with the ability to deliver within defined timelines

Candidates should be able to clearly articulate specific intermediates they have developed, including: starting raw materials, key reactions, scale achieved, and their exact role in execution and scale-up

Application Requirement Please include brief details of 3–5 intermediates developed, along with chemistry, scale, and your individual contribution Apply on Kit Job: kitjob.in/job/4mfi45
