Responsibilities:
- Synthetic organic chemistry knowledge. Polymerization experience is a plus.
- Ability to evaluate safety risks and reactivity concerns in multigram scale multistep organic synthesis.
- We are looking for a Chemist/Process Chemist who is a team player with a solutions-oriented mind. The chemist will join a team dedicated for exploring and developing lithographic materials for advanced patterning solutions. This is a laboratory-based technical role focused on synthesis of organic compounds and polymers.
Position functions:
- Conduct synthesis of organic compounds and polymers at laboratory scale up to several hundred grams
- Use analytical tests to facilitate effective process development, characterize products and ensure final product quality.
Document experiments and help in the preparation of technology transfer packages to CROs/CMOs.
- Maintaining full compliance with all departmental and site-specific Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality regulations, systems, and procedures covering laboratory and scale-up activities.
- Perform routine lab and business unit maintenance to keep area clean and orderly.
- Maintain material database, inventory database and order chemical reagents from suppliers
Qualifications:
- Experience with general laboratory techniques such as distillation, filtration, closed transfer, crystallization, rotary evaporators, vacuum pumps/ovens and small/large scale glassware.
- Assisting more senior chemists with their work
- Perform analysis of compounds and reaction mixtures using common methods:
(HPLC, GC, MS, UV/VIS, FTIR, NMR, TLC, IR, GCMS)
- Involvement in process improvement and development of production and test methods
- Versatility in common IT applications (Microsoft office).
- Excellent organizational skills and accuracy in experimental documentation.
- Good communications skills
