Job description

As a Lab Technician here, your day is a dynamic blend of precise bench operations and high-velocity technical support. One day, you might be preparing reagents, loading samples, and running automated synthesis workflows for small molecule chemistry. Another day, you might be verifying reaction outcomes by processing 1H and 13C NMR spectra and/or LCMS data to close the loop between physical execution and digital analysis.

Our environment is built on shared ownership and operational excellence. You'll keep our automated platforms running smoothly, managing routine maintenance, solvent refills, and waste management on reactors and analytical instruments to ensure minimal downtime. Other responsibilities may include ordering chemicals, consumables, and lab supplies, and maintaining chemical inventory. Whether you are performing system calibrations, troubleshooting liquid handling units, or enforcing strict safety standards, your work directly powers the physical engine driving SDLabs®, the Atinary platform.

Requirements

Must-have

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related scientific field.
• Hands-on Lab Experience: Hands-on Lab Experience: Demonstrated background in synthetic organic chemistry laboratories, encompassing routine sample prep, handling reagents, and setting up reaction procedures for small molecules. Requires 1-3 years of hands-on laboratory work (academic research, thesis projects, or industry internships are applicable).
• Analytical Aptitude: Demonstrated background reading and processing 1H and 13C NMR spectra and LCMS data to verify reaction outcomes and compound purity.
• System Operations & Maintenance: Ability to prepare reagents, execute routine workflows, perform system cleanup, and handle basic routine maintenance on analytical tools and instruments.
• Safety & Compliance: Thorough knowledge of laboratory safety standards, hazardous material handling, chemical waste disposal protocols, and strict PPE compliance.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills in English, enabling effective collaboration across both scientific and technical engineering teams

Nice-to-have

• A strong curiosity or demonstrated interest in high-throughput chemistry, laboratory automation, or robotic liquid/solid handling systems.
• Comfort working with complex instrument-control software and an aptitude to learn basic scripting, automated workflow setup, or logic-based experimental design.
• A highly methodical, detail-oriented approach to sample tracking, deck layout setup, and routine execution.
• Some programming skills a plus: C#, Python.

Benefits

Why you would love working with us:

• Make a Real Impact: You won't just be maintaining systems; you'll be shaping the core operations of a fast-growing AI startup.
• Join a Winning Culture: We're committed to a flexible, innovative, and supportive work environment. We embrace flexible working hours.
• Celebrate the Moments that Matter: We believe in celebrating our team's success and important milestones. From company-wide achievements to personal wins, we make sure to recognize and appreciate the moments that contribute to our shared journey.
