Job Title: Analytical Chemist

Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Analytical Chemist with extensive experience in Gas Chromatography (GC). This role involves leading Measurement Capability Analysis (MCA) projects, performing statistical analyses, optimizing existing methods, and troubleshooting/re-calibrating GC instruments. The successful candidate will contribute to the lab's efficiency and productivity by testing chemical components of various gases stored in canisters and handling other lab-related tasks.

Responsibilities

• Lead MCA projects including taking samples for short-term stability tests and performing gas dilutions to achieve a linear curve.
• Conduct accuracy studies, Method Detection Limits (MDLs), gage R&R, and run correlations.
• Perform statistical analyses on existing methods to optimize and troubleshoot/re-calibrate GC instruments.
• Test chemical components of various gases stored in canisters.
• Physically move gas tanks as needed.
• Operate and troubleshoot GC instruments, including fixing tubing and sample loops.
• Develop and validate methods using OpenLab software.

Essential Skills

• 5 years of experience in Gas Chromatography (GC).
• Strong background in Analytical Chemistry, Method Validation, and Method Development.
• Proficiency in MCA, stability testing, and chromatography.
• Experience with statistical analysis, linearity, accuracy studies, MDL, gage R&R, and correlation studies.
• Ability to work independently with minimal oversight.
• Knowledge of OpenLab software for method development and acquisition.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Science is required.
• Self-sufficient, proactive, and a self-starter.
• Experience in a warehouse lab or open lab environment is preferred.
• Experience working with gases rather than chemicals is a plus.

Work Environment

The work environment is an open-air lab that may be dirtier and more grassroots compared to traditional clean labs. The role involves working with gas tanks. The shift schedule for the first 6 months is from 6 am to 4 pm Monday through Thursday, and 9 am to 1 pm on Friday. For the second 6 months, the shift is from 3 pm to 12 am Monday through Thursday, and 9 am to 1 pm on Friday.
