Are you passionate about materials science and analytical chemistry?
As a Laboratory Compliance Specialist, you will play a critical role in supporting our internal materials characterization laboratory by ensuring the integrity and compliance of data, documentation, and testing interpretations.
While this is not a hands-on laboratory position, it requires strong scientific judgment to partner with R&D engineers and scientists, enabling high-quality analytical and materials science testing.
This role is essential in maintaining regulatory compliance and driving continuous improvement in documentation and laboratory practices.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct peer reviews of analytical test data and materials characterization results using both paper-based and electronic systems with minimal supervision.
Validate data intended for regulatory submissions to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Recommend and implement process improvements to enhance laboratory efficiency and regulatory adherence.
Lead initiatives to strengthen documentation practices and standards.
Initiate or facilitate laboratory investigations (OOS/OOT, deviations, non-conformances) based on review findings.
Author and revise methods, procedures, and work instructions; contribute to protocols, reports, SOPs, and technical documentation.
Provide compliance oversight and support for special projects within or beyond the characterization lab.
Review secondary documentation such as equipment logs, verification logs, and training records.
Collect, analyze, and trend quality indicator data to support laboratory objectives and management reviews.
Assist with transitions to new laboratory systems as required.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, materials science/engineering, biology, biochemistry, or a related field—or equivalent relevant experience.
Minimum of 3 years of experience in a laboratory scientist/engineer role or in peer/quality review or technical writing.
Strong knowledge of good documentation practices and familiarity with ISO standards and/or quality systems.
Proven experience in a regulated, audit-facing environment.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Teams, Outlook).
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on experience interpreting materials science testing results, including metallography, microhardness testing, SEM/EDS, tensile testing, corrosion testing, and chemical analysis.
Familiarity with PTFE material testing and characterization.
Exceptional technical writing and communication skills.
Proficiency in software tools such as Trios, Minitab, Empower, and OMNIC/OMNIC Paradigm.
Knowledge of sample preparation and various mechanical and analytical testing methods.
Ability to provide constructive feedback on documentation.
