Sr. Scientist

The Senior Scientist – Chemistry R&D is an experienced, hands-on synthetic organic chemist who designs and executes small-molecule synthesis for customer custom-synthesis projects, FTE (full-time-equivalent) contracts, and internal research and development programs. The role supports Hongene's chemistry business by delivering high-quality compounds on schedule and by developing efficient, scalable synthetic routes. The Senior Scientist works independently on complex multi-step syntheses, takes technical ownership of assigned projects, and serves as a technical resource and mentor to less-experienced chemists. The position also contributes to the adoption of data-driven and high-throughput approaches to reaction screening and optimization. Successful performance in this position requires independent design and execution of synthetic work; sound technical judgment in route selection and problem-solving; accurate and timely delivery against project and customer timelines; clear communication of project status, risks, and results to internal teams and customers; consistent compliance with laboratory, safety, quality, and documentation procedures; and reliable on-site laboratory participation.
