Title: Analytical Chemistry
Location: Austin, TX
Description:
The lab is responsible for applying advanced analytical technologies to the characterization of materials used in consumer products and to join the Material Science and Characterization Lab
- Undergraduate or Graduate degree in Chemistry, Engineering, Polymer Science, Materials Science or related discipline
- The lab is part of a Failure Analysis Team, which provides failure analysis services to resolve reliability, manufacturing, and material design issues.
- Hands-on operation of FTIR, GC-MS, IC-MS, TGA, and DSC to collect data on the composition of polymers, contaminants in materials, outgassing from adhesives/inks, etc., to aid in Failure analysis investigations.
- Hands-on preparation of samples for all above mentioned techniques. Samples include polymers, adhesives, multi-layered composites, small particulate debris, contamination, discoloration, etc.
- Utilization of Microscopy techniques, such as optical microscopy, to characterize sample structures and morphology.
- Ability and aptitude to work with and manipulate small objects while viewing under a microscope.
- Highly effective communication skills including ability to seek out direction, ask clarifying questions, communicate findings, and accept feedback.
