We work with chemical analyses with special focus on HPLC/UPLC methods on the Waters platform utilizing Empower as the chromatographic software.

You will be responsible for your own project deliverables as part of a project core group working across departments with development of new products. Your work has a global focus, and you should be able to interact with a broad range of stakeholders from QC lab technicians, pilot production scientists, R&D, quality managers, and external partners.
To succeed you must hold:
A Master’s degree or Ph.D in biochemistry, chemistry or equivalent
Experience with chemical methods, e.g. HPLC/UPLC, GC, MS, ICP, either from a research area or QC laboratory.
