Company Description
Our client is a pioneering R&D-focused specialty chemicals platform with expertise spanning Agrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Electronics Chemicals, and Battery Chemicals. They offer a technology-enabled platform for contract development, scaled manufacturing, and global sourcing, with dedicated lab teams in Hyderabad and Bangalore. They are a seed-funded startup backed by top-tier VCs in India.
Role Description:
Position: Research Scientist - Agrochemical Formulations
Experience: 7- 10 Years
Location: Bangalore (Bommasandra)
Notice Period: Immediate- 30 Days
Overview:
We're looking for a skilled Research Scientist — Agrochemical Formulations to develop, optimize, and scale up agrochemical formulations across a range of dosage forms (SC, EC, WP, WG, SL, EW, ME, etc.). The role involves hands-on formulation development at the bench, stability evaluation, and close collaboration with process chemistry and manufacturing teams to ensure smooth lab-to-plant technology transfer. This position offers the opportunity to work on a growing pipeline of molecules and build deep formulation expertise in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
Key Requirements
- M.Sc. / M.Tech in Chemistry, Agricultural Chemistry, or a related discipline. Ph.D. is a plus.
- Work experience — 7–10 years in agrochemical formulations R&D or a closely related domain (crop protection, specialty chemicals).
- Hands-on experience developing and scaling at least 2–3 formulation types (SC, EC, WG, SL, EW, or similar).
Skills and Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize agrochemical formulations (suspension concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, water-dispersible granules, soluble liquids, micro-emulsions, etc.) from concept through scale-up.
- Select and evaluate surfactants, dispersants, emulsifiers, thickeners, anti-settling agents, and other adjuvants to achieve target product performance.
- Design and execute accelerated and real-time stability studies (storage stability, heat stability, cold stability) per FAO/WHO and CIB&RC specifications.
- Characterize formulation physical properties — particle size distribution, viscosity, pH, emulsion stability, suspensibility, wettability, and pourability.
- Collaborate with process chemistry and manufacturing teams on technology transfer, batch scale-up, and troubleshooting at pilot and commercial scale.
- Conduct literature and patent landscape reviews to support non-infringing formulation design.
- Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including formulation records, trial reports, stability data, and regulatory dossier sections.
- Ensure lab safety, GLP compliance, IP confidentiality, and effective cross-functional coordination to deliver project goals on time.
