Technology jobs in San Francisco, CA

About the role

Join our analytical lab in San Francisco as an Analytical Lab Chemist. You’ll run sample prep and analytical testing on state-of-the-art equipment in a newly renovated lab, keep data accurate and instruments performing at their best, and dig into problems that don’t come with a textbook answer, like an unknown sample straight from the plant. You’ll work closely with our lab technicians and learn alongside an analytical team that supports labs across multiple sites, with room to grow into owning the lab or a regional or global role as we expand.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• Lab experience through undergraduate research, internships, co-ops, or work
• Solid wet chemistry skills, including acid digestion and preparing standards
• Experience with ICP-OES/MS, XRF, AA, GC, HPLC, or UV-Vis, whether in research or coursework
• A troubleshooter who likes figuring out why an instrument or result isn’t right
• Hands-on ion chromatography (IC) experience strongly preferred
• Familiarity with EPA, ISO, or GLP/GMP standards a plus
• Mining, metals, or hydrometallurgy exposure a plus
