Job description
We are currently supporting an independently owned, science forward community and compounding pharmacy, over 100 years old, operating a 503A non sterile facility in Northern Virginia that is looking to engage a Compounding Formulation and Automation Specialist.
The pharmacy is investing in automated non sterile compounding, including 3D printing, an advanced mixing system and a tablet press, and needs the person who owns the formulas that run on it. You will take a prescription through formulation, calculations, ingredient selection, process, equipment and mixing parameters, quality checks and documentation, so every preparation is reproducible, and you will train the pharmacy team to run it. This is not a conventional technician seat and not a lab only research role. This is a hands on formulation and equipment role inside a busy community compounding pharmacy, for a pharmacist or technician who likes making the recipe as much as making the batch.
Part time or full time, Monday to Friday day hours, no weekends.

Select bases, calculate quantities and set process and mixing parameters for automated compounding equipment

Ability to work independently with strong communication
Virginia pharmacist license or Virginia pharmacy technician registration, or eligibility
Preferred Experience
Medisca MAZ certification or experience with compounding automation
Understanding of homogenization, particle size, emulsification, suspension stability and API dilution
This is a rare opportunity to build the formulation library for an automated compounding lab and play a defining role in the future of the business.
