Position Requirements.

Job Overview

The Quality Control Analyst Chemistry Instruments is responsible for testing, evaluating, and validating newly developed chemical analysis instruments and laboratory devices. The role ensures that new instruments meet required performance, accuracy, reliability, and safety standards before release to customers or mass production. The candidate will collaborate with R&D, design engineers, quality teams, and application chemists to perform methodbased testing, prototype evaluation, performance benchmarking, and detailed documentation. The ideal candidate should have strong analytical chemistry experience and handson proficiency with advanced analytical instruments. Experience in testing waterbased sensors and waterparameter analysis would be highly beneficial.

Product Testing & Evaluation

• Perform functional testing, performance testing, and stress testing of newly developed analytical instruments
• Run chemical test methods on prototypes using standards, reagents, and samples relevant to instrument application
• Validate instrument performance parameters such as accuracy, precision, stability, repeatability, sensitivity, LOD/LOQ, etc

2. Prototype & Design Verification

• Execute Design Verification (DV) and Design Validation (DV) test plans for new instruments
• Identify product issues, deviations, or defects and provide detailed feedback to R&D and design teams
• Support multistage prototype testing (Alpha, Beta, and prelaunch evaluations)

3. Instrument Calibration & Method Testing

• Perform calibration and method testing using standard procedures
• Evaluate instrument response, linearity, drift, reproducibility, and environmentbased performance
• Assist in developing or refining analytical methods tailored to the new products capabilities

4. Technical Reporting & Documentation

• Prepare test reports, validation summaries, defect logs, performance charts, and documentation for design review
• Maintain detailed testing records in compliance with R&D and quality standards
• Contribute to user manuals, troubleshooting guides, and product specifications where required

5. CrossFunctional Collaboration

• Work closely with R&D engineers, software teams, quality assurance, and product managers
• Participate in design review meetings and provide data-driven insights

Support the transition of products from prototype stage to pilot manufacturing.
