This role performs laboratory testing on raw materials, in-process and finished products, and customer applications, including circuit boards and semiconductor chips. The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic environment, is a team player, and can work across multiple testing areas and instruments.

• Perform chemical, physical, and instrumental testing on raw materials, in-process, finished, and customer product samples, including plating tests, volumetric and gravimetric analyses, pH measurement, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and other instrumental techniques.
• Conduct functional testing on electrical properties such as thermal conductivity as needed.
• Prepare samples for SEM and optical analysis, including cross-sectioning, potting, and surface preparation techniques.
• Follow written analytical procedures, validate established methods, and troubleshoot testing procedures to ensure product quality.
• Collect, enter, review, and validate data in WinLIMS or similar data management systems; perform calculations and submit results to QC Supervisor/Manager for approval.
• Maintain and schedule instrument calibrations; coordinate MSA studies (Gage R&R, Accuracy, Linearity, Bias, matching/correlation).
• Maintain accurate laboratory documentation including SOPs, test methods, protocols, deviations, batch records, and COAs.
• Support Quality Assurance activities, including root cause analysis, CAPA, and investigations for out-of-specification (OOS) or out-of-trend (OOT) results.
• Participate in internal audits, inspections, and continuous improvement initiatives focused on lab workflow, data accuracy, and documentation efficiency.
• Handle hazardous materials safely, maintain proper storage and disposal, and follow all site safety and chemical hygiene protocols.
• Operate lab equipment and conduct procedures in compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001 standards.

• Bachelor's degree in chemistry or related field with a minimum of 2 years of hands-on laboratory experience.
• Proficient in bench chemistry techniques, manual titrations and extractions, gravimetric assays, pH measurement, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry.
• Highly preferred: experience with HPLC/IC, TGA, GCMS, Rheometer, SEM, Karl Fischer.
• Strong understanding of analytical accuracy and precision; ability to interpret and analyze data with attention to detail.
• Experience with MES, ERP, or electronic batch record systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, JDE, MasterControl) is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic lab environment, adapt to multiple testing areas, and learn new techniques and instruments.
