• Prepare and test electrolyte solutions to support product development and performance testing.
• Assist team members with chemical and materials analysis, including solution property evaluation.
• Accurately record, analyze, and communicate experimental data and results.
• Conduct dissolution, crystallization, and stability testing on lab‑generated solutions.
• Operate and maintain laboratory instrumentation, including chromatography (HPLC/GC), IR spectroscopy, and UV‑VIS spectroscopy.
• Manage laboratory documentation, waste streams, and ensure compliance with EH&S and hazardous waste protocols.
• Work collaboratively to refine experimental methods for performance, durability, throughput, and cost improvements.
• Translate experimental objectives into actionable Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) for project tracking.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe laboratory environment at all times.

• Strong understanding of chemical analysis techniques and laboratory hygiene.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (advanced user level).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and collaboration.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple experiments or priorities simultaneously.
• Highly motivated, detail‑oriented, and committed to laboratory safety and precision.

• Experience in an organic chemistry laboratory.
• Familiarity with analytical methods, including chromatography, IR spectroscopy, UV‑VIS spectroscopy, and crystallization.

• Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, or other relevant scientific fields (granted or in progress) is required.

• Atrium Care Package available, upon eligibility (including healthcare plans, discount programs, and paid time off).
