Full Job Description

1) SUMMARY / OBJECTIVE

Seeking a highly technical and hands-on Process Engineer to support cosmetic and OTC manufacturing operations in a fast-paced contract manufacturing environment. This role will be responsible for:

Scaling new formulations from laboratory development into efficient commercial production.
Troubleshooting and reprocessing out-of-specification (OOS) batches.
Owning and driving continuous improvement initiatives, as well as optimizing manufacturing processes for quality, efficiency, and throughput.

2) ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

The individual must be able to perform each essential function satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions.

Scale Up & Commercialization

Lead scale-up activities for new cosmetic, personal care, and OTC formulations from bench and pilot scale and to full scale commercial manufacturing.
Translate laboratory processes into robust and repeatable manufacturing instructions and batch procedures.
Evaluate processing parameters including mixing speed, shear requirements, temperature profiles, order of addition, homogenization, transfer rates, filtration, cooling curves, and hold times.
Support pilot and validation batches to ensure successful commercialization and manufacturability.
Partner with Innovation Chemists during formula development to proactively identify scale-up risks and manufacturing limitations.
Generate and maintain process protocols, manufacturing procedures, process flow diagrams, scale-up and validation reports.
Collaborate with Compounding and Scheduling teams to support first production execution and troubleshooting.
Support new Technology Transfer initiatives for prospective customers.

OOS Batch Troubleshooting & Reprocessing

Investigate and perform root cause analysis and statistical trending on manufacturing deviations, process failures, and out-of-specification batches.
Evaluate viscosity adjustments, pH corrections, fragrance incorporation issues, phase separation, aeration, precipitation, color variation, and stability-related concerns.
Develop technically sound reprocessing strategies to recover batches back into specification while maintaining product quality and regulatory compliance.
Partner with Quality and Regulatory teams to assess rework feasibility and compliance implications.
Provide technical support when experiencing compounding issues and assist with real-time compounding troubleshooting support.
Assist in retraining Compounding leadership on new techniques and processes to resolve relevant compounding issues.

Continuous Improvement & Process Optimization

Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on throughput, cycle time reduction, yield improvement, scrap reduction, downtime reduction, and process robustness.
Analyze manufacturing trends and process data to identify optimization opportunities.
Improve process capability and batch-to-batch consistency through standardized operating parameters.
Support Lean Manufacturing and Operational Excellence initiatives.
Conduct DOE (Design of Experiments) and process capability studies where applicable.
Optimize existing manufacturing processes for mixing efficiency, heating/cooling performance, filtration, transfer operations and bulk storage capabilities.
Support implementation of new equipment, process technologies, and automation improvements.

Cross-Functional Responsibilities

Act as technical liaison between R&D Innovation, Compounding, Quality, Engineering, Procurement, and Customer teams.
Support customer technical discussions related to manufacturing feasibility and process capabilities.
Assist with investigations related to customer complaints, nonconformances, and stability concerns.
Support technology transfer activities between sites.
Participate in Stage Gate, commercialization, and process review meetings.

3) COMPETENCIES

Strong formulation processing knowledge, excellent root cause investigation skills, and practical experience with liquid, emulsion, surfactant, alcohol, and OTC manufacturing systems.
Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mixing technology, emulsification, rheology, and process controls.
