Original job description
Who We Are
Noze has digitized the sense of smell. We’ve done for the nose what the camera did for the eyes and the microphone did for the ears. It took six years and some help from NASA, but we did it. Now it’s time for us to bring it to the world.
Are you passionate about elevating human health & well-being? Are you curious about how the human body works, the mechanisms behind it, and how we can capture it?
People who succeed at Noze have a sense of urgency, a ton of initiative, infinite curiosity, a strong internal drive, and an enthusiasm for technology. If you’re bursting with fresh ideas and want to join a company in its journey to change the status quo, then this opportunity is for you!
Who You Are
You are a detail-oriented, hands-on Analytical Chemistry Technician who excels in a fast-paced laboratory setting. You have a passion for operating precision analytical instruments, preparing test systems and rigs, and performing characterization with gases & VOCs. You enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers to deliver robust experiments that directly impact product innovation and sensor validation.
What You Will Do
- Operate and calibrate characterization instruments, including FTIR, gas mixing systems, permeation ovens, and other related spectroscopic or thermal characterization equipment.
- Prepare, handle, and track gases and mixture originating from gas cylinders, desorption tubes, permeation tubes or other sources.
- Execute standardized analytical testing protocols to evaluate sensor response, material stability, and other chemical characterization metrics.
- Process analytical test data, perform basic statistical evaluations, and document quantitative and qualitative findings as per relevant ISO and CLSI guidelines.
- Maintain laboratory safety and compliance records, including standard operating procedures (SOPs), chemical inventory logs, equipment calibration schedules, and SDS/WHMIS requirements.
- Support quality assurance and quality control initiatives in alignment with laboratory standards.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including sensor team, Machine Intelligence team and product development team, to support experimental workflows and communicate testing outcomes.
What You Need
- Diploma (DEC) in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related scientific field.
- 1 to 3 years of practical laboratory experience operating analytical equipment.
- Hands-on experience with gas/vapor sampling techniques and volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis is a plus.
- Familiarity with quality management systems and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP).
- Strong organizational skills, keen attention to detail, and ability to handle multiple testing tasks efficiently.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a collaborative mindset.
* This position is funded by a grant Program which requires the candidates to be:
- a new graduate
- a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or a person granted refugee protection under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
- Below 30 years of age.
