What You’ll Do

The Confidential Client is hiring an entry-level laboratory technician / chemical engineer focused on gas analysis. You will perform routine and non-routine analytical testing of medical and specialty gases to detect impurities, verify product quality, and support release decisions. This is a hands-on role working with gas cylinders, analytical instruments, and laboratory software while following strict safety and quality procedures.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Perform analytical testing of gas samples for impurities using gas chromatography (GC), GC-P systems, and spectroscopic techniques.
• Connect gas cylinders to analytical systems in ventilated cabinets, run analyses, monitor tests, and safely disconnect cylinders.
• Operate and maintain GC and GC-P instruments using control software (e.g., Galaxy/Compass) and support data acquisition.
• Use Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers and CO2 analyzers to identify and quantify gas components and trace impurities.
• Upload, review, and document analytical results in a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to ensure data integrity and traceability.
• Perform routine calibration, verification, and basic maintenance of analytical instruments.
• Prepare and fill medical and specialty gas mixtures and pure gases using partial pressure and gravimetric techniques following established procedures.
• Test and certify incoming raw materials and process cylinders for shipment (painting, labeling, valve preparation, certificates of analysis).
• Maintain complete quality control records and comply with local, state, and federal regulations.
• Follow safe handling procedures for compressed and hazardous gases and participate in required safety training.
• Work collaboratively to support continuous improvement of laboratory methods and quality control processes.
