Job Description

Description

 

We are seeking an enthusiastic Associate Synthetic Chemist to support the discovery of small molecules for next-generation 3D printing resins. You will work hands-on in the lab, executing syntheses of novel molecules, characterizing products, and exploring photochemical and photophysical structure–property relationships. This role is ideal for highly motivated early-career chemists who love synthesis and are excited to accelerate innovation through fast, iterative chemistry. You will be closely mentored by experienced synthetic chemists and will collaborate with analytical scientists and engineers developing our printing systems.

 

Responsibilities

  • Design, execute, and troubleshoot small molecule synthetic routes, with a focus on divergent or modular approaches to rapidly generate lead candidates.
  • Purify products using chromatography and crystallization techniques.
  • Characterize compounds via UPLC, NMR, UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.
  • Work with cross-functional teammates to explore photochemical and photophysical structure–property relationships that drive 3D printing performance.
  • Maintain excellent electronic lab notebook documentation.
  • Contribute to management of chemical databases (e.g., commercial, proprietary, and virtual compound libraries).

 

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry or a closely related field with equivalent advanced chemistry coursework.
  • ≥2 years of intensive organic synthesis laboratory experience (academic research and/or industrial roles).
  • Experience with synthetic planning with chemical databases (e.g., SciFinder, Reaxys).
  • Excellent command of synthetic and physical organic chemistry fundamentals.
  • Experience with air-sensitive techniques (e.g., Schlenk line), purification (chromatography/crystallization), and data interpretation (NMR / LC-MS).
  • Evidence of strong documentation and organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple workflows efficiently.
  • Evidence of strong collaboration and teamwork talents/skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative R&D environment.

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Command of the basics of photochemistry.
  • Experience with heterocyclic and/or extended aromatic systems, especially those relevant to organic (opto)electronics.

 

Benefits

  • We offer competitive compensation packages in our VC-backed startup.
  • Benefits include a full suite of offerings covering medical, dental, vision and 401k plan.
  • Beautiful setting looking out over a river and seaport; outdoor seating and picnic areas.
  • Highly collaborative work environment.

 

Additional Information

  • Travel: Occasional travel may be required from time to time
  • Location: Boston, Massachusetts

 

We value diversity in our company and are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
