Formulation Engineer

We are seeking a mid? to senior?level Formulation Engineer to join a specialist team developing advanced sustained?release injectable therapies. The ideal candidate will have direct expertise in polymer?based microsphere technology for controlled drug release - particularly biodegradable systems such as PLGA - but strong backgrounds in long?acting injectable formulations more broadly (depot injections, in?situ forming gels, or implantable delivery systems) will also be highly valued.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead formulation design, optimisation, and scale?up for sustained?release injectables.
• Translate lab?scale processes into robust, GMP?compliant manufacturing methods.
• Collaborate with Process Engineering, QA/QC, and Analytical Development to ensure product quality and regulatory compliance.
• Troubleshoot formulation and process challenges, driving continuous improvement.
• Support technology transfer to production lines and external manufacturing partners.

Technical Skills & Techniques

• Aseptic processes for sterile injectable manufacturing.
• Process Analytical Technology (PAT) for in?process monitoring and control.
• Automation with PLCs to ensure reproducibility and efficiency in manufacturing.
• Coulter Counter Multisizer for precise particle size distribution analysis.
• SEM microtome for high?resolution imaging and particle morphology assessment.

Requirements

• Background in microsphere technology or long?acting injectable drug delivery systems.
• Strong understanding of biodegradable polymers, encapsulation techniques, and release?rate optimisation.
• Familiarity with GMP manufacturing and regulatory guidelines for sterile injectables.
• Proven ability to lead projects and influence cross?functional teams.
• Collaborative mindset and hands?on approach in a technical environment.

We Offer

• The chance to work on innovative drug delivery systems with global impact.
• A dynamic, multidisciplinary team environment.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Immediate start for the right candidate.
