Do you want to work in a business with a portfolio which is as diverse as the colors of the rainbow? The GoGlobal Program in Electronics is currently looking for an R&D Chemist or Chemical Engineer based in Carlsbad, CA, to collaborate with our Thin Film Solutions Team. We are seeking an individual with hands-on laboratory experience in molecule synthesis to join our dynamic team in Carlsbad, CA. The successful candidate will develop a synthetic technique for a new precursor molecule that is actively being scaled from benchtop to 100 kg per year quantities due to successful customer application results. The candidate will be responsible for design of experiments and optimization of run conditions for a pyrolysis reaction method working as part of an integrated team of researchers to support the new product synthesis, with most of their time being hands-on laboratory work. The role involves working closely with synthesis, analytical, scale-up, and commercial teams to ensure rapid delivery of the material. This role will mainly use lab bench scale equipment to conduct experimental trials of synthetic conditions and then build a pilot scale reactor with supporting equipment for reactant feed and product collection. They will prepare samples for analysis and work with the New Product Development chemical engineers to purify the material by distillation.
