Chemometrician – Analytical Chemist

Yoh Life Sciences is hiring a Chemometrician – Analytical Chemist for a direct-hire opportunity in Houston or Austin, TX
.

This is a unique opportunity for an analytical scientist who enjoys working at the intersection of spectroscopy, chemometrics, and scientific programming
. The Chemometrician – Analytical Chemist will support the development of predictive chemo metric models through hands-on laboratory experimentation, spectral data analysis, and software-enabled data workflows.

The successful candidate will work with NIR and Raman spectroscopy
, design experiments to generate high-quality calibration and validation datasets, construct predictive models that translate spectral data into actionable information, and contribute to software tools used to evaluate and deploy chemo metric models.

Title: Chemometrician – Analytical Chemist
Employment Type: Direct Hire
Location: Houston or Austin, TX
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
Salary Range: $70,000–$100,000 annually
Travel: Approximately 20–25%

Key Responsibilities

• Design and execute laboratory experiments specifically aimed at generating calibration and validation datasets for chemo metric model development.
• Operate and maintain analytical instrumentation, including NIR and Raman spectroscopy systems.
• Apply sound sampling strategies, Design of Experiments (DoE), and quality control practices to ensure data quality and representativeness.
• Construct predictive models that translate spectral data into usable information for customers.
• Develop and improve scientific software supporting MATLAB and Python Software Development Kits (SDKs) used by the chemometrics team.
• Develop applications and tools used to evaluate chemo metric models prior to deployment to field analyzers.
