Job title: Formulation Scientist - Composition, Particle & Process Design Location: Kaiseraugst, Switzerland

As a Formulation Scientist, you will drive the development of innovative formulations for food, dietary supplement, and oral pharmaceutical applications. You will contribute to ideation, formulation design, and process development, leveraging your expertise in emulsion and powder systems, their underlying physical principles, and characterization.

You have hands-on experience with formulation and particle engineering technologies such as emulsification, spray drying, fluidized bed coating, extrusion, and granulation. Experience in enhancing bioavailability and developing controlled-release systems for targeted delivery of bioactives is highly desirable.

You will be part of a global, cross-functional team and collaborate closely with internal and external stakeholders to translate innovative concepts into robust formulation solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead formulation development projects for food, dietary supplement, and oral pharmaceutical applications.
  • Contribute to and support cross-functional ideation and innovation workshops.
  • Apply experimental design and data analysis to optimize formulations and identify key material and process drivers
  • Analyze, interpret, and communicate results through technical reports and presentations.
  • Develop and apply characterization methods to assess formulation and process performance.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and scientific approaches.
  • Conduct scientific literature and patent landscape searches and collaborate with IP specialists where required.
  • Ensure safe laboratory operations and support continuous improvement of laboratory infrastructure and processes.
  • Train, coach, and guide laboratory staff and technicians.

We bring:

  • A space to grow by encouraging and supporting curiosity and an open mindset.
  • A culture that prioritizes safety and well-being, both physically and mentally.
  • The opportunity to work for a company where sustainability is much more than a claim and is core to our strategy and purpose.
  • A flexible work environment that empowers people to take accountability for their work and own the outcome.
  • Barrier-free communities within our organization where every employee is equally valued and respected - regardless of their background, beliefs, or identity.
  • An eagerness to be one team and learn from each other to bring progress to life and create a better future.

You bring:

  • PhD in Pharmaceutical Technology, Food Teachnology, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related field or MSc with a strong track record in industrial formulation and process development
  • Strong expertise in at least two of the following areas: Emulsification, spray drying, fluid bed processing or extrusion, combined with the ability to transfer scientific principles across processing technologies.
  • Deep understanding of the physical principles governing liquid and powder formulation systems.
  • Experience with formulation characterization techniques and analytical methods, such as particle size or morphology analysis, powder flow and compaction behavior.
  • Knowledge of tableting processes is desirable.
  • Experience in bioavailability enhancement and controlled-release technologies is a strong advantage.
  • Strong scientific problem-solving skills with a hands-on, results-driven mindset.
  • Collaborative team player with the ability to work effectively across disciplines and functions.
  • Fluent in English; German is an asset.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
