  • Thermal properties : thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal conductivity / diffusivity, dilatometry, differential scanning calorimetry.
  • Electrical properties : dielectric breakdown, dielectric loss and constant, volume resistivity.

Analytical Execution & Data Quality

  • Prepares samples and executes tests using established methods, specifications, and quality requirements.
  • Interprets data using standard calculations, baseline statistical tools, and documented acceptance criteria.
  • Produces timely, accurate technical reports for engineering, R&D, quality, and production stakeholders.

  • Maintains data integrity by following documented workflows, calibration requirements, and sample-traceability procedures.

    • Operational Excellence

  • Performs routine equipment cleaning, basic troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance for instruments within scope.
  • Identifies and communicates equipment or method issues requiring SME or supervisor support.
  • Partners with technicians on sample preparation and instrument setup; provides clear expectations and feedback consistent with role-level behaviors.
  • Supports onboarding and skills development of laboratory technicians by providing hands-on training in routine test execution, proper sample preparation, safe equipment use, and data-collection fundamentals.
  • Contributes to continuous improvement by identifying process inefficiencies, recurring failure points, or safety risks.

    • Safety & Compliance

  • Works in accordance with established safety procedures, PPE requirements, and chemical-handling protocols.
  • Recognizes potential safety issues and proposes practical, high-value corrective actions.

    • Job Requirements

    Education

    Bachelor’s Degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy, Physics, Chemistry, or related technical field.

    Experience

  • Required : College-level laboratory coursework with hands-on materials testing experience; at least one internship or equivalent applied lab experience.
  • Preferred : 1–2 years experience in a materials testing or physical properties lab. Experience with mechanical, thermal, or dielectric testing is strongly preferred.

    • Functional / Technical Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

  • Ability to operate analytical instruments and associated software for mechanical, thermal, and electrical tests.
  • Competency with laboratory information systems, statistical tools, and manufacturer-specific instrument interfaces.
  • Strong technical communication skills; able to summarize findings clearly for cross-functional teams.
  • Organized and detail-oriented, with demonstrated ability to follow structured workflows.
  • Works effectively within a team environment and collaborates with technicians, analysts, and engineers.
  • Demonstrates ownership of data quality appropriate to an Analyst I role, consistent with career‑pathing expectations.

    • Physical Requirements

  • Wears required PPE in designated lab areas.
  • May handle hazardous chemicals including acids, bases, solvents, and high-temperature materials.
  • May operate furnaces, kilns, or other high-temperature preparation equipment.
