Process Analytical Technology Expert 

POSITION PURPOSE:

The PAT Expert will be instrumental in developing and implementing advanced process analytical technologies to enhance process development, optimization, and control at Bayer’s Process R&D facility in Vapi. This role requires a solid background in Chemical Engineering, along with industrial experience in process monitoring and analytical tool development. The PAT Scientist will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to drive innovation and facilitate data-driven (chemometrics) decision-making in support of Bayer’s chemical manufacturing initiatives.

YOUR TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Development & Implementation: Design and implement PAT methodologies to support laboratory process development and scale-up activities and ensure implementation on the commercial scale.
• Process Monitoring & Control: Utilise real-time analytical techniques such as spectroscopy (NIR, MIR and Raman) and other sensor-based technologies like pH, conductivity, redox, turbidity etc.
• Data Analysis & Modelling: Employ statistical tools, chemometric modelling, and multivariate data analysis to derive insights from PAT data and gain understanding into reaction chemistry for safely upscaling the processes.
• Technology Integration: Collaborate with the PCT, electrical and IT teams to integrate PAT tools into lab-scale, pilot-scale, and manufacturing systems.
• Collaboration & Training: Co-ordinate with Quality and Manufacturing teams to ensure successful PAT implementation; provide training and support to internal stakeholders.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify new PAT opportunities and emerging technologies to enhance process efficiency and quality standards.

KEY WORKING RELATIONS:

Internal

• Crop Protection Innovation Team
• Pilot Plant Team
• CPI Production Team
• CPI Analytical team at Vapi

External

• Coordinate with Various Vendors and Engineers for instrument installation/ maintenance activities

WHO YOU ARE:

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
• Industrial experience (4+ years with Ph.D., 8+ years with B.E.) in PAT development and implementation within the pharmaceutical or chemical industry.
• Proficient in in-line, on-line, and at-line PAT techniques, including Raman, MIR, and NIR spectroscopy. Knowledge of NMR and chromatography (HPLC, GC, LC-MS and GC-MS) based PAT tools will be advantageous.
• Hands-on experience with software tools for chemometrics and multivariate data analysis.
• Knowledge of process engineering for the effective transfer of technologies into production environments.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and project management skills.
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, and collaborative environment.
• A scientifically curious mindset with a willingness to learn beyond core expertise.
• Willingness to work in shifts.
