Job Description

Join EAG Laboratories as a Scientist specializing in Thermal Analysis and Materials Characterization.

In this role, you will perform hands‑on materials characterization, interpret and report high‑quality analytical data, and work directly with clients to support real‑world technical investigations.

You will discuss thermal and mechanical analysis data and experimental design with clients, connecting analytical results to broader materials, manufacturing, reliability, and product development challenges.

Our clients include leading technology companies, consumer product manufacturers, biotech companies, and aerospace suppliers working in the early phases of product development. Scientists in our Materials Characterization group operate advanced analytical instrumentation and collaborate closely with peers to understand technical problems, determine the appropriate analytical approach, and provide meaningful insight into material behavior and performance.

We are particularly interested in scientists with extensive, multi‑year hands‑on experience with one or more of the following techniques:

• DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis)
• TMA (Thermomechanical Analysis)
• Rheometry

Experience with additional thermal characterization techniques, including DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis), is highly desired, as is experience with other polymer analysis techniques such as GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography), UV-Vis spectroscopy and FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy).

We are looking for scientists who are comfortable managing all stages of the analytical process, including experimental design, sample preparation, selecting and optimizing test conditions, operating and troubleshooting instrumentation, acquiring and interpreting data, and writing technical reports. More importantly, you should be able to look beyond the data itself and explain what the results mean for a client's material, process, or product.
