Position Summary

The Senior Scientist, Sensor Chemistry is a technical contributor responsible for evaluating, selecting, and optimizing materials that influence colorimetric sensor and overall system performance. This role applies materials science and chemistry expertise to polymers, films, membranes, reagents, dyes, and other process-critical raw materials. This role lies at the intersection of materials science and chemistry.

The individual designs and executes experiments, analyzes complex data sets, and develops or applies computational tools to support material screening, product development, process improvement, verification, validation, manufacturing transfer, and technical investigations in a regulated environment. The role works independently and cross-functionally, communicates technical findings clearly, and maintains high-quality documentation.
