Hims & Hers is looking for a dependable, detail-oriented R&D Sterile Compounding Technician to support sterile product development. Working alongside our formulation scientists, you will prepare development and feasibility batches, execute experimental protocols in controlled environments, and capture the high-quality data that moves new sterile products forward.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys iterating and troubleshooting while respecting the discipline of GMP, aseptic technique, and approved protocols.

Standard Hours: Typically 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM.

• Flexibility Required: Must be available for occasional early starts or late finishes (window of 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM) based on production mixes, business needs, and travel.

• Prepare and compound sterile development, feasibility, and engineering batches according to approved protocols, SOPs, and batch records.

• Perform dilution, concentration, and gravimetric/volumetric calculations accurately and verify them as required.

• Operate and maintain laboratory and process equipment, including balances, pH meters, mixers, filtration systems, pumps, and semi-automated and automated filling equipment.

• Perform aseptic processing, filtration, and filling in ISO 5-8 environments, including material transfer and in-process visual inspection of units for foreign matter.

• Perform routine compounding operations, including measuring, compounding, and sterilizing labware and solutions, and verify steps as required.

• Label, package, and ship development and feasibility samples in accordance with approved procedures.

• Execute experimental plans, adapting technique as results change, within defined protocol boundaries.

• Document all work in real time in lab notebooks, batch records, and Excel, following data integrity principles (ALCOA+). Complete controlled documents and assignments right the first time, with minimal errors and within the required timeline.

• Promptly report unexpected results, deviations, and improvement ideas to the formulation scientist or supervisor through proper channels, rather than working around them. Support continuous improvement efforts.

• Identify, communicate, troubleshoot, and help implement solutions for problems noticed in the cleanroom or during critical processes.

• Assemble and organize experimental data and communicate status to R&D and cross-functional partners (Quality, Manufacturing, Analytical). Collaborate across teams to keep projects moving.

• Prepare, clean, sterilize, and depyrogenate labware and equipment; clean and maintain cleanroom equipment; keep cleanroom suites and support areas organized and inspection-ready.

• Complete required training (GMP, aseptic technique, safety) and maintain gowning and aseptic qualifications (e.g., media fill, gloved fingertip sampling), working within your qualified scope.

• Step in flexibly as priorities and timelines shift, and help meet batch schedules and project targets.

• High school diploma or equivalent; [Associate’s/Bachelor’s in a scientific field] preferred.

• Experience in a sterile compounding, pharmaceutical cleanroom, GMP, or laboratory formulation setting.

• Strong aseptic technique, garbing, and cleanroom behavior.

• Proficiency with pharmaceutical calculations (dilutions, concentrations, unit conversions).

• Meticulous documentation habits and understanding of data integrity.

• Deep understanding of why sterility matters, and of the differences between mechanical cleaning, sanitization, disinfection, and sterilization.

• Hands-on experience with laboratory and process equipment (balances, pH meters, mixers, filtration, pumps).

• Ability to work independently, understand objectives, and ask clarifying questions early to meet production and project targets with minimal supervision.

• Strong organizational and communication skills.

• Ability to stand for extended periods and work in gowned, controlled environments.

• 1+ years of sterile compounding, cleanroom manufacturing, or pharmaceutical lab experience.

• Working knowledge of USP <797>/<800>, cGMP, and GDP.

• Experience with needle/syringe manipulation; media fill and gloved fingertip sampling qualification history.

• Experience operating semi-automated or automated filling machines.

• Experimental mindset: you troubleshoot proactively and treat unexpected results as information.

• Calm and deliberate under pressure.

• Self-directed but not unilateral: you act with a clear understanding of requirements and seek guidance when unsure. You are comfortable being wrong and unafraid to ask.

• Organized and collaborative: you keep work tidy inside and outside the cleanroom and communicate clearly across teams.

• Self-motivated and proactive: you notice problems early, raise them, and help solve them.

• Dependable: teammates can count on you to follow SOPs and batch records exactly and to step in when needed.
