Setting up equipment and running experiments, making informed judgments on test results.
Recording data and observations, maintaining an accurate laboratory notebook.
Performing routine maintenance, calibrations, and cleaning of lab equipment.
Troubleshooting equipment issues and coordinating vendor service to minimize downtime.
Following required safety protocols, Design Hazard Reviews (DHRs), and site EH&S practices.
Supporting occasional overtime or weekend work based on lab needs.
Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-4:30 pm

At Evonik, we value curiosity, technical skills, and a willingness to learn.
The ideal candidate will bring:
Bachelor’s degree in a science or technology field with 1–3 years’ relevant experience OR an Associate’s degree with 3–5 years’ experience preferred.
(Fresh graduates with strong lab experience are encouraged to apply.)
Comfort operating and maintaining lab instruments, with a practical troubleshooting mindset.
Attention to detail, strong follow-through, and a self-starter approach.
Ability to pivot priorities when urgent requests arise.
Solid Excel/data analysis skills (formulas, graphs, trend checks).
Nice to have: familiarity with ASTM lubricant testing, programming exposure (Python/C++), and CAD/SolidWorks/AutoCAD experience.
Team Culture & Your Career Path
You’ll join a 4-member Applications Lab team with both senior and mid-level members who are highly experienced and eager to share their knowledge.
