• Compile, analyze, and interpret test data, ensuring results are accurate, reliable, and clearly documented.
• Provide technical support and assistance to chemists, engineers, and other technical staff in both research and process control environments.
• Prepare chemical solutions for products and processes using standardized formulas, and develop experimental formulations as needed for research and development projects.
• Maintain, clean, and sterilize laboratory instruments, equipment, and work areas to ensure safe and efficient operations.
• Write technical reports and prepare graphs, charts, and other visual documentation to communicate experimental methods, results, and conclusions.
• Order, track, and inventory laboratory materials, chemicals, and supplies to maintain appropriate stock levels and support continuous laboratory operations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support quality assurance, analytical chemistry, and wet chemistry testing related to product development and quality control.
• Perform accurate data entry and documentation in laboratory information systems and spreadsheets to support traceability and compliance requirements.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor's degree in Chemistry or Biology preferred, with strong consideration for similar academic backgrounds such as Biochemistry or Chemical Engineering.
• 0–2 years of experience in a laboratory, analytical chemistry, wet chemistry, quality assurance, or quality control environment.
• Basic knowledge of chemical composition, structure, and properties of substances, and the chemical processes and transformations they undergo.
• Basic understanding of chemical manufacturing processes and how they affect the environment, as well as worker and consumer safety.
• Demonstrated creativity in approaching laboratory tasks and problem solving.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to document and present experimental work clearly.
• Solid analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and troubleshoot issues in experiments or processes.
• Ability to multi-task and manage numerous projects or experiments simultaneously while meeting deadlines.
• High attention to detail, with a track record of accurate work and thorough documentation.
• Familiarity with MS Office applications for data entry, analysis, and reporting.
• Comfort working with laboratory equipment and techniques such as chromatography, spectroscopy, separation techniques, microscopy, and standard analytical chemistry methods.

Work Environment

This position is 100% onsite at a modern laboratory and campus-based facility and is not open to remote work.
