We are seeking a hands-on, self-motivated Analytical Chemist to support New Product Development (NPD) and commercial product support across the ACP portfolio; ranging from metallization/plating chemistries to advanced packaging polymers and formulated materials. This role will lead development, implementation, and continuous improvement of analytical and characterization methods for specially synthesized raw materials (small molecules through complex polymers) and finished products, partnering closely with cross-functional stakeholders (DE, NPD, Manufacturing, Quality, and Technical Service) to enable scale-up, specifications, and customer support.
Key responsibilities
+ Analytical method development & execution: Develop, optimize, and run analytical/characterization methods for raw materials, intermediates, and formulated products supporting NPD milestones and commercial needs.
+ Core techniques: Apply techniques such as CVS, HPLC/UPLC, GPC, % solids, titrations, potentiostatic measurements, surface tension, cloud point, densitometry, and rheology (and related wet/physical methods).
+ Other techniques relevant: ICP-OES/ICP-MS for metals/impurities, UV-Vis, FTIR, NMR, IC, TOC, DSC/TGA, particle size/zeta potential, SEM/EDS
+ Method validation, transfer, and sustainment: Author/maintain methods, validation protocols/reports, and ensure robust method transfer to R&D and Manufacturing as needed.
+ Data integrity & documentation: Maintain high-quality written documentation (methods, validation, batch/lot data packages, change control / MOC) and ensure traceable, audit-ready records.
+ Troubleshooting & investigations: Support root-cause investigations, out-of-spec troubleshooting, and customer complaint response in collaboration with Quality/Manufacturing.
+ Statistical/data analysis: Use statistical tools to analyze method performance, capability, trends, and investigation data (DOE, GR&R, SPC as applicable).
+ Safety & teamwork: Work safely with hazardous chemicals in a collaborative, fast-paced lab environment; communicate clearly in both informal updates and formal presentations.
Required qualifications
+ Education: B.S. in Chemistry, Biology, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field.
+ Experience: 3–5 years of hands-on experience in analytical chemistry supporting R&D/NPD, development engineering, manufacturing, or quality environments. (Experience characterizing small molecules, polymers, and/or inorganic/metal-containing chemistries is strongly valued.)
+ Demonstrated ability to follow procedures with high repeatability, strong attention to detail, and commitment to safe lab practices.
+ Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate data into clear technical conclusions and recommendations.
+ Strong data analysis capability; JMP/Minitab (or similar) preferred.
Preferred qualifications
+ Demonstrated success developing/validating new analytical methods and supporting method transfer.
+ Experience supporting semiconductor materials (e.g., plating baths, photoresists, dielectrics, silicones, packaging polymers) and working across interdisciplinary teams.
+ Six Sigma (Green/Black Belt) or demonstrated experience applying structured problem-solving tools.
