Senior Scientist, Chemistry

The Role: 

As a Chemistry II team member in the SPI Lab, you will work closely with R&D activities through beaker testing and FSU blending. This role focuses on hands-on experimental execution, establishing and maintaining equipment operating parameters, and generating reliable experimental data to support chemical development and evaluation. 

In this role you will: 

• Perform tests according to experimental plans and established procedures to support R&D chemical evaluation. 

• Execute FSU blending and filtration activities according to approved experimental requirements and operating procedures. 

• Identify opportunities to improve experimental consistency and laboratory efficiency. 

• Support equipment evaluation, routine equipment checks, and troubleshooting for beaker testing and FSU operations. 

• Follow EHS requirements, chemical handling procedures, and laboratory SOPs to maintain a safe working environment. 

Traits we believe make a strong candidate: 

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field 

• 1+ years of experience in a chemical laboratory or semiconductor-related environment 

• Ability to follow experimental plans and SOPs, document results accurately, and communicate observations or deviations 

• Knowledge of chemical handling, laboratory safety, and contamination control 

• Collaborate with R&D to establish beaker test conditions and methods, coordinate analytical and metrology support, and compile complete experimental data and observations for R&D review 

Your success will be measured by: 

• Safe and consistent execution of beaker testing and FSU blending and filtration 

• Timely completion of assigned experiments according to agreed R&D priorities 

• Accuracy, completeness, and traceability of experimental data and operating parameter records 

• Effective teamwork and clear communication of experimental progress, results, and issues 

• Contributions to improved experimental repeatability and laboratory efficiency
