EAG is actively seeking an Analyst IV to assist in chemical testing of industrial and consumer products. Our laboratory in Maryland Heights, Missouri specializes in investigative analytical chemistry, evaluating label claims of consumer products, reverse engineering pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements, identifying contaminants, determining sources of off odors/flavors/colors, extractables and leachables of consumer electronics, and testing medical devices, among many other tasks.

The Particle Team solves problems. Clients approach us to help identify unknown particles or determine particles likely to be extracted from or present in their products, raw materials, or processes. Common questions:
What is this blue fiber floating in this finished drug product? Where did this white residue come from? What particles might be shed in a patient when our device is used? As a Senior member of this team, you review analyst reports and ensure conclusions align with data collected from various analytical techniques. You participate in process improvement and technique validation.
