About Organic Chemist Jobs in Sunnyvale, CA

Sunnyvale Organic Chemist Jobs Overview

Organic chemists are the magi of compound synthesis—studying the composition and properties of carbon-based structures, then characterizing them and constructing organic compounds. By figuring out the complexities of how organic molecules function, scientists working in organic chemist jobs have been able to better understand the human body, nature, and animals—and also help improve our lives in myriad ways.

So much of what you have around you was developed from the research done by organic chemists. That includes soaps, lubricants, vegetable oils, textiles/apparel, pharmaceuticals, biodegradable plastics, and biotech innovations (e.g., seeds for plants that are drought-resistant).

As an organic chemist, you’ll design new organic substances that may become part of the building blocks of anything from your next laptop to the various emulsifiers in the packaged foods you buy during grocery runs. You’ll also evaluate current goods and consider solutions for upgrades, refinements, and enhancements.
