Materials Scientist (Nanoparticle Sizing & Lot Release)

Materials scientists skilled in electron microscopy help train AI systems for a customer's nanomaterial project by sizing nanoparticles by hand from TEM and SEM micrographs. They work out particle size distributions, assess morphology, calibrate and threshold images manually, set lot-release acceptance criteria and write up findings, all without automated or AI tools. Strong written and verbal communication matters. No AI background is needed; the listing says only remote and gives no pay or hours.

What you would do

• Analyze TEM and SEM micrographs by hand to size nanoparticles and assess morphology
• Determine and document particle size distributions with careful attention to reproducibility
• Set lot-release acceptance criteria from reference cases and quality control standards
• Validate measurements through manual calibration, thresholding and comparison with reference data
• Write reports on findings, methods and qualification recommendations and discuss them with the team

What the listing asks for

• Preferred: advanced knowledge of nanomaterial characterization, especially TEM and SEM
• Preferred: hands-on nanoparticle sizing, particle size distribution analysis and lot release evaluation
• Preferred: manual image analysis skills, including thresholding, calibration and complex morphologies
• Preferred: strong grasp of quality control standards and reference material qualification
• Preferred: ability to validate reference cases without AI tools; consulting or lab analytics background is a plus

Suits microscopists and QC scientists who size nanoparticles manually from micrographs and are used to signing off on material lots.
