About the Opportunity
We’re partnering with a fast-growing analytical instrumentation company headquartered in Boston that is expanding its applications function to strengthen customer success and product adoption. This is a unique opportunity to join early, take ownership of applications strategy, and directly shape how customers engage with a next-generation analytical platform.
The company is at a flexible stage of growth where this position can lean more lab-based or expand into field applications/travel — depending on your preference and career trajectory.
What You’ll Do
As an Applications Scientist, you will:
-
Develop, validate, and refine analytical methods to support product development and customer adoption.
-
Apply expertise in solid phase extraction (SPE), sample preparation, and chromatography (GC, LC) to build workflows that extend instrument capabilities.
-
Troubleshoot, optimize, and transfer workflows in collaboration with both internal R&D teams and external stakeholders.
-
Collaborate with sales and marketing to demonstrate product capabilities and provide scientific support throughout the customer lifecycle.
-
Deliver technical reports, training, and presentations that translate complex data into clear insights for customers.
-
Contribute to the continuous improvement of laboratory practices, including SOP development, preventive maintenance, and instrument calibration.
What We’re Looking For
-
Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, or related field — or equivalent industry experience.
- Industry track record applying wet chemistry and sample prep techniques in product development, applications, or customer-facing contexts.
-
Hands-on experience with SPE and chromatography (GC, LC) ; additional familiarity with cleanup workflows and instrument troubleshooting is highly valued.
-
Demonstrated ability to move beyond SOP execution — building and refining methods that customers can adopt.
-
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work across technical and commercial teams.
-
Excellent communication skills, with experience engaging both internal teams and external clients.
Why Join
-
Opportunity to play a key role in defining the applications strategy for a company at an exciting growth stage.
-
Flexibility to shape the role toward lab-based innovation or field-facing applications depending on your interests.
-
Be part of a collaborative team where your expertise directly impacts product adoption, customer success, and company growth .
