An early-stage scientific instrumentation company has launched a game-changing analytical platform with breakthrough potential in chemical structure identification and molecular analysis.
Following a successful product launch, they are now hiring a hands-on, strategic applications expert to define high-impact use cases, guide experimental studies, and shape how the platform is validated, positioned, and adopted in key markets (life sciences, pharma, materials science, and more). This is a foundational role with direct influence on commercial strategy, product roadmap, and customer engagement.
In this role, you will:- Lead scientific application studies to characterize platform performance and define sample workflows
- Collaborate with software, product, and R&D teams to frame real-world use cases and surface technical requirements
- Provide internal validation that supports demo strategy, product messaging, and customer targeting
- Guide prioritization of application opportunities based on feasibility and commercial relevance
- Help shape the scientific and strategic direction of this emerging platform
- A PhD in Chemistry, Analytical Sciences, or related field
- (Open to BS/MS with extensive applications experience)
- Deep experience with analytical instruments (e.g., GC, MS, NMR)
- Proven track record designing experimental workflows tied to commercial outcomes
- Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
- Excellent cross-functional communication skills—able to interface with scientists, engineers, and commercial leads
This is a rare opportunity to shape how an entirely new analytical platform is adopted in industry—from application strategy to hands-on validation to commercial influence. If you’ve ever wanted to be at the core of turning scientific innovation into real-world impact, this role is that catalyst. Apply today!
