Analytical Chemist

This position specializes in ICP-OES/ICP-MS, ion chromatography, wet chemical analysis, and corrosion testing of metal substrates and chemical formulations.

The chemist will generate high-accuracy analytical data, evaluate corrosion performance, and collaborate with R&D and manufacturing teams to ensure product reliability and compliance.

• ICP Analysis — Perform elemental analysis using ICP-OES/ICP-MS, including calibration, method optimization, and troubleshooting.
• Ion Chromatography — Conduct anion/cation analysis to support formulation control and impurity tracking.
• Wet Chemistry — Execute titrations, acid/base analysis, gravimetric tests, and classical chemical assays.
• Corrosion Testing — Conduct corrosion evaluations such as weight-loss testing, coupon exposure, electrochemical methods, and surface characterization.
• Sample Preparation — Prepare samples via digestion, dilution, filtration, and extraction following SOPs.
• Data Interpretation — Analyze results, identify trends or anomalies, and provide clear technical conclusions.
• Method Development — Develop and refine analytical and corrosion testing methods for new products and applications.
• Quality & Compliance — Maintain documentation, calibration logs, and adherence to ISO/GLP standards.
• Cross-Functional Support — Support R&D, manufacturing, and customer technical teams with analytical insights.
• Instrument Maintenance — Perform routine maintenance and coordinate vendor service when needed.
• SEM/EDS — Operating, capturing images, understanding of findings, preventive maintenance

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Materials Science, or related field.
• 2–7 years of hands-on experience with:
• ICP

• Wet chemical analysis
• Corrosion testing such as SST/ CCT
• SEM/EDS
• Strong understanding of sample preparation, instrument calibration, and analytical troubleshooting.
• Ability to interpret complex data sets and communicate findings clearly.
• Experience in chemical manufacturing, specialty chemicals, metal finishing, water treatment, or materials testing preferred.

• Familiarity with surface treatment industry (electro plating, phosphate, paint, anodizing etc.)
• Knowledge of LIMS, SOP writing, and method validation.
• Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work independently.
• Experience with accredited lab such as A2LA/ ISO 17025
