**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.
