Scientist – Measurement Science

Key Responsibilities

• · Partner with MFT project teams to frame clear technical problem statements, hypotheses, critical measures, acceptance criteria, and learning plans.
• · Select appropriate analytical approaches from the existing toolbox and recommend new or modified methods when an outage exists.
• · Connect measurement outputs to product performance, stability, quality, mechanism of action, claims, and business decisions.
• · Independently execute established chemical and physical methods and progressively develop or adapt methods for tablets, capsules, liquids, semi-solids, and other relevant dosage forms.
• · Apply appropriate techniques such as HPLC, GC, UV/Vis, AAS, ICP, dissolution, physical characterization, and other fit-for-purpose methods relevant to the personal healthcare portfolio.
• · Plan and execute method development, validation or qualification, robustness, equivalence, transfer, and troubleshooting activities with coaching where required.
• · Own instrument readiness, calibration, maintenance, repair coordination, and qualification activities within assigned scope, ensure safe sample handling, precise preparation, reliable measurement, complete traceability, and data integrity.
• · Recognize anomalous, out-of-trend, or unexpected results; investigate root causes and propose scientifically sound next steps, apply foundational statistics and effective visualization to interpret results and distinguish signal from variability.
• · Summarize conclusions, risks, and recommendations in concise technical reports and project updates.
• · Execute and coordinate stability, quality monitoring, qualification, troubleshooting, and business-continuity testing.
• · Contribute to investigations, change controls, method or specification updates, and lifecycle documentation within assigned scope.
• · Maintain inspection-ready records, protocols, reports, SOPs, and controlled analytical documentation.
• · Work effectively with Product Development, Product Research, Process, Packaging, QA, Regulatory, GPS, Product Supply, Procurement, external laboratories, suppliers, and contract manufacturers.
• · Collaborates with Quality Control team to deploy methods, build capabilities and synergies across processes to enable smooth transition from R&D to QC.
• · Coordinate external testing and capability, including clear briefs, technical oversight, data review, and timely delivery, while protecting confidential information and intellectual property.
• · Build an internal and external technical network, seek the right expertise for complex problems, and share learning across projects.
• · Use approved digital systems for experiment documentation, data capture, analysis, visualization, collaboration, and knowledge reuse.
• · Identify opportunities to simplify methods, automate repeatable steps, improve throughput, and strengthen touchless data flow without compromising quality.
• · Recommend and implement practical improvements to laboratory methods, test designs, supplies, and work processes.
• Role Requirements
• · Advanced degree in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, or a closely related discipline. A PhD with relevant analytical experience, or a Master’s degree with substantial hands-on analytical experience, is preferred.
• · Demonstrated hands-on experience in analytical method development, validation or qualification, transfer, stability testing, and laboratory troubleshooting.
• · Working knowledge of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, with the ability to connect analytical results to product or material behavior.
• · Experience working under regulated laboratory practices and quality systems, with strong understanding of data integrity and good documentation.
• · Ability to communicate technical findings clearly in English. Bahasa Indonesia capability is strongly preferred for local stakeholder and partner engagement.
• · Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, collaborate across functions, and work with increasing independence.
