About the Role
The R&D Pharmacy Technician supports the development, evaluation, and scale-up of compounded pharmaceutical preparations and innovative dosage forms. You'll work closely with Product Development Scientists on formulation trials, compounding activities, process optimization, equipment operation, documentation, and stability studies — all while ensuring compliance with USP standards, cGMP principles, company procedures, and regulatory requirements.
We're specifically looking for an already-experienced compounding pharmacy technician — this is not an entry-level role. An active Florida State Pharmacy Technician License is required, no exceptions. If you're proactive, open-minded, hungry to grow, and comfortable owning a project from start to finish with minimal oversight, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
Formulation Development Support
- Assist in preparing prototype formulations for capsules, tablets, troches, oral dissolving films (ODF), oral dissolving tablets (ODT), suspensions, solutions, creams, gels, and other compounded dosage forms
- Accurately weigh, measure, and prepare raw materials according to approved formulations and batch records
- Support formulation optimization studies and trial batch execution
- Prepare laboratory-scale and pilot-scale batches for evaluation
Compounding Operations
- Perform compounding activities according to approved Master Formulation Records (MFRs)
- Operate and clean compounding equipment, including mixers/blenders, tablet presses, capsule filling equipment, triple roll mills, film casting equipment, balances, and lab instruments
- Assist in troubleshooting manufacturing and formulation issues
Documentation & Data Management
- Complete batch records, laboratory notebooks, and test request forms accurately
- Enter formulation and batch information into electronic formulation management systems
- Maintain records of experiments, observations, and formulation changes
- Assist with preparation of technical reports and development summaries
Material & Inventory Management
- Receive, label, and organize APIs, excipients, flavors, colors, and packaging materials
- Monitor laboratory inventory and notify management of material shortages
- Ensure proper storage and handling of pharmaceutical materials
Quality & Compliance
- Follow USP <795>, USP <797>, USP <800>, and company SOP requirements as applicable
- Maintain a clean, organized, and inspection-ready laboratory environment
- Assist with stability studies, sample preparation, and product evaluations
- Participate in investigations, CAPAs, and continuous improvement initiatives
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with R&D Scientists, Pharmacists, Production, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control teams
- Support technology transfer and scale-up activities from development to production
- Assist in product launches and validation activities
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Active Florida State Pharmacy Technician License
- High School Diploma or GED
- 5+ years of pharmacy technician, compounding, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or laboratory experience — already experienced in compounding strongly preferred
- Knowledge of pharmaceutical calculations and weighing techniques
- Familiarity with USP compounding standards
- Ability to read and follow formulation records and SOPs
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications
- Ability to stand for extended periods and lift 50–60 pounds
- Ability to wear required PPE and work in laboratory/cleanroom environments
- English required
Preferred:
- Pharmacy Technician Certification (CPhT)
- Associate degree in Pharmacy Technology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Biology, or a related field
- Experience in a compounding pharmacy or pharmaceutical environment
- Bilingual English/Spanish
Who Thrives Here
- Proactive — anticipates needs and takes initiative rather than waiting to be told
- Growth-minded — eager to learn, take on new challenges, and develop professionally
- Open-minded — receptive to new ideas, feedback, and better ways of doing things
- Accountable — owns the process from A to Z and follows through on commitments
- Independent — comfortable working with minimal supervision and managing their own workload
- Strong attention to detail and documentation practices
- Comfortable working both independently and within a team environment
