Chemical Laboratory Assistant Lab Technician (fmd) Analytics & Synthesis
Job Summary
- Analytics & Characterization: You are the analytical core of our lab. You routinely perform instrumental and wet-chemical analyses to precisely characterisze our next-generation materials (e.g. NMR IR spectroscopy DSC titrations).
- Synthesis Execution: You support syntheses (specifically polycondensations) on a bench and pilot scale reliably and accurately executing reactions according to established standard operating procedures (SOPs).
- Daily Lab Routine & Excellence: You ensure smooth lab operations. This includes preparing and maintaining glassware sample preparation material drying and general lab organization.
- Precision & Documentation: You ensure our measurement data is rock-solid. This includes regular calibration of analytical instruments maintaining detailed lab journals and assisting in drafting clear SOPs.
- Safety & Organization: You maintain a safe high-standard working environment (GLP) and ensure analytical equipment is always ready for the next run.
