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.
