Quality Control Technician

Formulate is building the technology platform redefining how personal care products are designed, manufactured, and delivered. We believe the era of mass‑produced, one‑size‑fits‑all skin and hair care is coming to an end.

We are leading the shift toward a new chemist‑to‑consumer model - where expert formulation, intelligent software, and advanced manufacturing come together to create products tailored to real people. By connecting formulation science directly to the end user, we are changing not only how products are made, but how they are discovered, customized, and purchased.

We’re building the platform powering a new movement - one that replaces mass production with precision creation.

As a Quality Control Technician, you will be responsible for ensuring the products manufactured in our facility meet defined specifications, quality standards, and safety requirements.

This is a hands‑on, on‑site role within our production environment. You will perform inspections, testing, and documentation across raw materials, in‑process batches, and finished goods. Your work directly impacts product consistency, customer trust, and operational excellence.

We are building modern, automation‑driven manufacturing systems -- but quality still depends on disciplined execution and attention to detail. This role is critical to maintaining high standards as we scale.
