We have an exciting opportunity within the Advanced Circuit and Packaging (ACP) business for an associate R&D Chemist, located in Marlborough, MA.

• Organic synthesis OR polymer synthesis + analytical experience (e.g. GPC or NMR). Willing to be trained for cleanroom in the future.
• OR significant cleanroom experience, willing to be trained on synthesis + analytical.
• The scope of this work is for BS or MSc degree holders;
  PhD candidates will be overqualified for this associate level job.

Organic synthesis, formulation and filtration, analytical characterization (GPC, HPLC, SEM, particle measurements, etc.), electrochemical analysis (CVS, electroplating, titration, etc.) and cleanroom & fab activities.

• This role will demand strong interpersonal relationships with other team members and requires good communication and analytical processing of experimental data.
• The successful candidate will drive evaluation and characterization aspects of critical projects and assist in data analysis and interpretation/presentation of key results, internally.
• The highest levels of ethical conduct, quality science, and adherence to our culture of safety is a prerequisite for success in this role.

• Associate investigator focusing on panel and wafer‑level processing techniques, comfortable with exploring advanced/non‑standard methods for unique applications.
• Adept at hands‑on lab work, creative thinking, problem solving in a unique and fast‑paced laboratory environment.
• Hands‑on work in the lab for organic & polymer synthesis, purification, filtration, ion exchange and analytical characterization to support raw material supply and process development on the scale from 100 mL to 20 L.
• Support polymer synthesis in lab‑scale to kilo‑lab and pilot‑scale.
• Develop and execute analytical methods to characterize raw materials and products.
• Support development of new formulations used in electroplating and polymeric/dielectric products for the microelectronics industry.
• Prepare lab‑scale lacquer and formulation of products to support timely customer sampling.

• Analytical techniques include CVS, HPLC, UPLC, GPC, % solids, titrations, potentiostatic measurements, surface tension, cloud point, densitometer, and rheometer.
• Organic synthesis skills to support material development.
• Assume responsibility for execution of cleanroom workflows such as laminations, coatings, lithography and cure techniques, as well as thermal and mechanical analysis.
• Support Quality and Manufacturing for root cause investigations and customer complaints.
• Strict adherence to enhanced safety protocols and ability to work safely and participate in all group safety activities.
• Proper documentation including new methods, method validation, batch data, management of change, etc.

• B.S. or Associate degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or relevant fields with industrial lab experience.
• 1‑2 years of hands‑on organic synthesis experience to support polymer synthesis and development.
• Hands‑on industrial experience in semiconductor fab or similar environment and familiarity with material characterization, wafer‑level metrology and/or thin film analysis.
• Experience with thermal and mechanical analysis tools and techniques.
• Understanding of analytical techniques used to characterize small organic molecules, polymers, and inorganic chemicals. Hands‑on experience highly preferred.
• Highly motivated and effective team player.
• Strong data analysis skills; experience using JMP or other statistical tools is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with diverse teams.
• Demonstrated ability to work safely with hazardous chemicals.

• Expertise with a diverse range of analytical equipment: chemical, mechanical, thermal analysis.
• Basic materials…
