Job Title:

Job Description:

The Role: 

In this SPI Laboratory role, you will primarily perform beaker tests to support R&D wet-chemistry development, with additional responsibility for assisting with Wet Bench evaluations. Your main responsibilities will include chemical preparation, execution of beaker test plans, establishment of beaker test conditions and methods, and generation of reliable experimental data and evaluation samples.  

You will also assist with Wet Bench testing, sample handling, and coordination of pre- and post-test measurements as needed. Working closely with R&D, analytical, and metrology teams, you will maintain traceable records and support equipment readiness and troubleshooting.  

In this role you will: 

• Perform beaker tests as the primary responsibility, including chemical preparation, wet etch and cleaning evaluations under R&D-defined plans, experimental documentation, and equipment readiness through routine checks, preventive maintenance support, and troubleshooting. 

• Assist with Wet Bench as needed, including equipment operation, test condition and observation recording, sample collection and pre- and post-test measurement coordination, equipment checks and particle monitoring. 

• Follow safety, quality, and compliance standards within the laboratory environment. 

• Collaborate with R&D to establish beaker test conditions and methods, assist with Wet Bench test setup as needed, coordinate analytical and metrology support, and compile complete experimental data and observations for R&D review 

Traits we believe make a strong candidate: 

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field 

• 3+ years of hands-on laboratory experience in chemical preparation, beaker testing, or wet-chemistry evaluations 

• Hands-on experience with chemical preparation and beaker tests is required; experience with Wet Bench operation or wafer and coupon handling is preferred to support secondary testing responsibilities 

• Strong experimental and troubleshooting skills, with attention to test repeatability, accurate documentation, and data integrity 

• Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the flexibility to adapt to changing R&D priorities and a willingness to learn new test methods and equipment 

Your success will be measured by: 

• On-time completion of tasks in accordance with R&D requirements, with complete, accurate, and traceable documentation of samples, instrument settings, images, and test results. 

• Compliance with laboratory safety and quality standards. 

• Contribution to beaker test method establishment, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of testing workflows. 

• Effective collaboration with R&D teams and timely communication of testing progress, anomalous results, and equipment issues. 

• Consistent compliance with laboratory EHS requirements and operating procedures.
