Scientist

About the role

The Scientist – Analytical Chemistry & Media Characterization plays a crucial role in the development, validation, and execution of analytical methods supporting the chemical, structural, and performance characterization of filtration media and integrated filtration, purification, and separation devices or systems for various applications.

Responsibilities

• Develop, validate, refine, and execute Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and analytical methods for chemical, structural, and physical characterization of components, filtration media, and finished filtration, purification, and separation devices.
• Perform trace-level chemical analysis for metals, extractables, leachables, organics, and other critical contaminants at ppb and ppt levels.
• Characterize filtration media properties, including chemistry, morphology, porosity, surface area, surface energy, thermal behavior, viscoelastic properties, and associated performance attributes.
• Document experiments, data analysis, conclusions, and recommendations in laboratory notebooks, technical reports, and project summaries while upholding all safety, quality, and laboratory compliance requirements.
• Coordinate laboratory activities, including test planning, scheduling, method readiness, preventive maintenance, and vendor interactions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related scientific or engineering discipline, with 3+ years of hands-on analytical laboratory experience, or Ph.D. with relevant academic experience.
• Demonstrated experience developing, validating, and executing analytical methods for chemical and/or materials characterization, with strong data analysis, documentation, technical writing, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently within defined procedures while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams, with a strong commitment to safe laboratory practices, data integrity, and high-quality experimental execution.

Qualifications

• Must have a valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record.
• Ability to travel.
• To work safely in a chemistry laboratory environment, including handling chemicals and operating analytical instrumentation.

Skills

• Partial or full previous experience in filter media characterization and performance evaluation.
• Experience with chemical characterization using chromatographic, spectrometric, and spectroscopic tools such as Liquid Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (LCMS), Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasa – Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS), Ion Chromatography (IC), Size-Exclusion Chromatography/Gel Permeation Chromatography (SEC/GPC), and UV-VIS, Raman and IR spectroscopy.
• Experience with media and material characterization techniques such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Porometry and BET Surface Area analysis, Viscoelastic property measurements (modulus, energy dissipation), Surface tension / Surface energy analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) / Electro Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and Optical microscopy, and Particle size distribution techniques.
