Technical Head Intermediate R&d Hands On Role Kota

We are building a rapid, 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 fast 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

Solid 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

Solid 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, on-site 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/4mopn8
