Title: Senior Associate - Technical Service
Location: Wilmington, DE
Duration: 11 MONTHS
Main job responsibilities include, but are not limited to: • Independently conducting organic reactions (pilot and lab scales), including reaction system assembly, monitoring, product work-up/analysis/characterization, and experimental documentation using an electronic laboratory notebook system. • Independently making parts from resins, including mixing, milling, pressing and sintering, monitoring, product work-up/analysis/characterization, and experimental documentation using an electronic laboratory notebook system. • Analyze results, recognize erroneous or unexpected outcomes, and make suggestions for a path forward. • Characterize material structure and performance, using various spectroscopic techniques, including, NMR, IR • Become familiar with and learn polymer characterization instrumentation such as DSC, TGA, DMA, TMA, Impact and Tensile Testing. • Properly document and report all experimental data. Present findings and results at team meetings. • Ability to use windows-based computer systems. • Troubleshoot and calibrate instruments. Author and prepare instrument manuals and SOPs. • Participate and follow all safety policies and best practices. Support process safety management (PSM) by maintaining pilot and laboratory safety documentation. • Order and purchase supplies when needed. Maintain chemical, resin and experimental sample inventory. • Coordinate outside laboratory testing, including shipping samples following proper DOT rules and regulations. • Required transferring flammable and powders (drum size) and limited lifting of lab equipment (Reactor, glassware, etc.).
