A Taste of What You'll Do
Under general supervision, you will support the product development team by providing routine laboratory assistance, sample analysis, and hands-on help with experiments and prototypes. You’ll run distillation, titrimetric, colorimetric and instrumental methods, operate and maintain lab instruments (auto-titrator, refractometer, density meter, spectrophotometer, balances, turbidimeter, ion-specific electrodes, and others), log and prioritize samples, and report results in a timely, accurate manner.

Reliable attendance, timeliness, and adherence to quality, environmental and safety regulations are expected.
We value intrapreneurship and ownership: bring initiative, learn from experiments, share ideas, and hold yourself and others accountable while taking thoughtful risks.
