Full-time, direct hire opportunity with a specialty chemical manufacturer focused on high-purity, air-sensitive organometallic and inorganic precursors. These materials are used in critical applications including semiconductor ALD/CVD thin films, functional coatings, and advanced catalysis.
Location: WI - Relocation assistance available.
Position being posted Nationwide for reach.
Schedule: Standard - Monday to Friday, days; up to 15% travel.
Pay Rate: Up to $150K depending on experience.
Principal duties and responsibilities will include:
Lead tech transfer from R&D to manufacturing for new organometallic and inorganic precursors.Design, scale, and optimize production processes for purity, yield, and consistency.Oversee equipment selection, P&ID, and reactor design for batch/semi-continuous systems.Collaborate with QA/QC on analytical validation of trace-level specifications (moisture, halides, metals).Identify and mitigate failure modes in air/moisture-sensitive or thermally unstable compounds.Drive root cause analysis and CAPA for deviations, contamination, and yield loss.Support SPC/SQC implementation and process control for HVM readiness.Ensure EHS compliance in hazardous chemistries (e.g., Grignards, metal hydrides).Lead continuous improvement using Lean and Six Sigma tools.Requirements:
Degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field (B.S./M.S./Ph.D.).9+ years of hands-on manufacturing experience with specialty or high-purity chemicals.Proven track record in scaling up air-sensitive, organometallic, or inorganic compounds.Proficient with analytical methods (ICP-MS, NMR, KF, TGA, GC-MS) and data-driven problem solving.Knowledge of process safety (PSM, HAZOP, FMEA) and chemical compatibility.Familiarity with ALD/CVD precursors, functional materials, and electronics-grade standards.Experience with chemical reactors (glass-lined, stainless, glovebox, Schlenk setups).Understanding of ISO 9001, ISO 17025, or GMP environments.This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
