- Ensure raw materials meet specification standards, including quality testing for nutritional value, bioavailability, and sensory attributes, as required under 21 CFR Part 111 for components and in-process materials.
- Design and develop formulations for dietary supplements, including powder drink mixes, protein powders, capsules, and tablets.
- Oversee scale-up processes from laboratory prototypes to full-scale manufacturing, optimizing for efficiency, stability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Mentor junior formulators and provide technical guidance on projects, fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing and professional development.
- Document all formulation processes, test results, and technical specifications in accordance with company protocols and 21 CFR Part 111 recordkeeping requirements.
- Collaborate with Quality Assurance, Production, and Regulatory teams as a crucial member of the Material Review Board (MRB), to troubleshoot formulation hurdles and implement improvements.
- Review and approve Batch Manufacturing Records (BMR) for each production run, verifying adherence to MMR standards, documenting deviations, and facilitating root-cause analysis for any discrepancies, in accordance with 21 CFR Part 111 requirements for production and process controls.
- Coordinate with supply chain teams to align production formulas with raw material specifications, ensuring scalability while minimizing waste and maintaining product integrity.
- Develop and revise Master Manufacturing Records (MMR) as templates for consistent production processes, ensuring they include precise instructions for ingredient weighing, blending sequences, and quality checkpoints in compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
- Perform feasibility assessments and pilot runs to validate production formulas, identifying potential issues like clumping in powders or stability in capsules during large-scale mixing or encapsulation.
- Conduct detailed scaling calculations and adjustments to convert conceptual formulas (e.g., from paper or lab notes) into production-scale formulas, accounting for factors such as ingredient interactions, equipment limitations, and yield optimization.
- Stay informed on emerging trends in nutritional science, ingredients, and manufacturing technologies to innovate product lines.
