This role will allow you to perform research, create, develop and formulate MDI/DPI inhalation products via a QbD framework. You will be tasked on conducting in vitro data analysis and interpretation of data via statistical software.

This role will be focusing on product development and formulation of inhalation, with early phase development of new products. Role is predominantly early stage development of new products.
