What you'll do
- Ensure data integrity and compliance across analytical and electronic systems, approving change controls and risk assessments. - Lead or support investigations into deviations, out-of-specification/out-of-trend (OOS/OOT) results, and contamination events using structured problem-solving tools including 8D, RCA, and FMEA. - Own, maintain, and drive continuous improvements in laboratory quality systems aligned with ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 standards. - Implement statistical process control (SPC) to drive analytical testing stability, instrument accuracy, and reduced variability. - Review instrument qualification, calibration, metrology practices, and support the review and validation of analytical methods. - Support customer, ISO, and internal audits while providing quality oversight for analyst qualification and competency.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. - 5+ years of experience in an analytical lab, quality engineering, or QA role. - Working knowledge of ISO 17025 or equivalent laboratory quality systems. - Experience with analytical method validation, investigations, and proper instrumentation controls including GR&R, method uncertainty, stability, and correlation and matching. - Hands-on experience applying quality tools such as SPC/SQC, FMEA, Pareto charts, histograms, trend analysis, design of experiments, cause and effect diagrams, and 8D problem-solving methodology. - Familiarity with statistical analysis software such as JMP or Minitab.
Nice to have
- Experience in the semiconductor materials supply chain. - Familiarity with trace or ultra-trace analytical techniques such as ICP-MS and SIMS. - Experience supporting customer or regulatory audits. - Exposure to LIMS, CDS, or laboratory software validation.
