• Contribute to the development of automated data analysis and reporting solutions that improve efficiency and accelerate engineering insights.

What You'll Bring

• 1 to 3 years of experience supporting engineering, quality, or laboratory operations.
• Experience analyzing experimental, manufacturing, or time-series datasets to identify trends and draw technical conclusions.
• Exposure to statistical methods including hypothesis testing, statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), or measurement system analysis (MSA).
• Experience writing technical reports, standard operating procedures (SOPs), test methods, or training documentation.
• Basic programming or scripting experience in Python, SQL, MATLAB, or similar tools.
• Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or similar fields is a plus.
