As a Quality Technician 1 on 2nd Shift (Monday - Thursday 4:00 pm - 2:30 am with additional overtime as needed per business need), you’ll move between the bench and the production floor. You’ll run titrations and other wet chemistry methods, verify raw materials and finished goods meet specifications, and log your findings with precision.
