After an introductory period in which you will be introduced to the technologies and programming languages used on our current automated chemistry platform, you will be responsible for the daily operation of this platform. This includes programming of automation workflows, ensuring optimal equipment performance and usage, instant troubleshooting as well as identification and testing of new devices. Throughout all of this you will work closely with your colleagues from the associated synthetic chemistry team to ensure the successful and timely delivery of new screening compounds from the platform. You will identify, design and program improved or new automated compound synthesis processes and systems to increase platform reliability and efficiency.
Furthermore, you will be integrally involved in the build of the next generation end-to-end chemistry automation platform and work with colleagues and external partners on the design of individual automation modules. You will play a key role during factory and site acceptance test activities for the new platform and in the years to come you will be responsible for optimal platform operation as well as continuous workflow and equipment improvements. As a Chemical Automation Engineer, you will have access to the best internal and external science and be expected to enhance business reputation both internally and externally through peer-reviewed publications and oral/poster presentations.
