Materials Scientist (Nanoparticle Sizing & Lot Release)

What You'll Do7

• Manually analyze and interpret TEM and SEM micrographs for nanoparticle sizing and morphological assessment
• Determine and document particle size distributions (PSD) with rigorous attention to accuracy and reproducibility
• Establish and communicate lot-release acceptance criteria based on technical reference cases and quality control standards
• Prepare detailed reports summarizing findings, methodologies, and recommendations for material qualification
• Validate measurement techniques through manual calibration, thresholding, and cross-checking against reference data
• Participate in technical discussions, providing expert insights on nanomaterial characterization and quality control criteria
• Deliver clear, concise written and verbal communications to facilitate knowledge transfer across project teams

Requirements6

• Advanced knowledge of nanomaterial characterization, especially using TEM and SEM
• Demonstrated hands-on experience in nanoparticle sizing, particle size distribution analysis, and lot release evaluation
• Proficiency with manual image analysis, including thresholding, calibration, and interpretation of complex morphologies
• Strong understanding of quality control standards and reference material qualification protocols
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills for reporting and collaboration
• Ability to evaluate and validate technical reference cases without the use of AI-based tools

Preferred Qualifications1

• Background in scientific consulting, materials science, or laboratory-based analytical roles

Who Should Apply

This role suits a materials scientist with hands-on experience in TEM and SEM for nanoparticle sizing, particle size distribution, and lot release.
