About the role
To support the PFAS team within the Chemical Simulation group, the full-time Senior Application Scientist will manage the generative chemistry discovery workflow, serve as a scientific liaison with external partners for validation, and ensure the compounds proposed are suitable for semiconductor applications in a remote environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Support the partner validation loop by defining target specifications and qualification criteria with external co-development partners
Run the discovery workflow, assess predicted compounds, and produce decision-ready shortlists for partner validation
Translate experimental feedback from partners into actionable technical improvements for the team
Required Qualifications:
PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
3+ years of post-PhD experience in industrial or applied R&D developing high-purity performance materials
Familiarity with performance and EHS specifications for process materials qualification
Proficiency in Python for running computational discovery workflows
Experience bridging experimental results and computational modeling in application-driven projects
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
