About the role

Merck seeks a Principal Scientist to lead the Analytical Commercialization Technology group at Rahway, NJ and West Point, PA, driving late-stage small molecule drug product development in a cGMP environment. You will mentor scientists, oversee method development and validation, contribute to regulatory submissions, and collaborate across regulatory, research, and manufacturing teams to deliver robust drug products.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
