To be successful, the engineer needs at least 5-10 years of experience with batch distillation, liquid adsorption systems and ultra-high-purity specialty chemical packaging and handling. Experience with air-sensitive materials handling or silicon hydride chemicals is preferred. The position requires hands-on laboratory work. Strong observation, perception and creativity skills will serve the candidate very well in the role. Attention to detail, problem-solving mindset, and a systematic approach are significant strengths required for this role.
