WHO YOU ARE:

You are an experienced analytical chemist or manufacturing quality chemical engineer with the drive to identify problems and roll your sleeves up to make improvements within both a lab and a manufacturing environment. You are the type of person that likes to draw the lines, rather than just coloring inside of them. You are looking to tackle new challenges in product performance and supply chain, while still using and expanding your skill set in analytical chemistry.
You thrive when you’re solving complex technical problems and brainstorming creative solutions. You’re a highly organized “do-er” and a stickler for creating good processes, able to manage multiple conflicting priorities. You enjoy being a domain knowledge expert, making manufacturing decisions and communicating technical results with ease. You’re excited about the idea of maintaining and continually improving the quality and performance of Semios’ products, helping growers gain access to safe and effective alternatives to conventional pesticides.
Motivated by meaningful work, you are looking for more than just a job; you want to work for a dynamic, growing company that finds solutions to real-life problems, such as helping the world reduce the use of pesticides and helping nature feed a growing population. Your ideal work environment includes a collaborative team spirit with the opportunity to learn and grow as you take the initiative to try new things.
