About the role

Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory.
Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more.
We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone.

Own the end-to-end analytical strategy for specific GC-MS-based programs, including method design, validation frameworks, and data quality standards for both targeted and untargeted analyses
Partner deeply with the Platform and ML teams to shape how analytical data is structured, stored, and leveraged computationally, acting as the chemistry-side technical owner of the data interface
Mentor and technically develop junior and mid-level scientists, establishing best practices, reviewing work for scientific integrity, and elevating the team's overall analytical capability

Deep, hands-on expertise in GC-MS method development and validation across both targeted quantitation and untargeted profiling
Familiarity with MassHunter Qual/Quant or comparable analysis platforms
Advanced proficiency in sample preparation techniques for complex matrices, including LLE, SPE, headspace, and SPME, with the ability to design novel approaches for non-standard substrates
Proven ability to set technical direction for a team or program, including authoring or redesigning SOPs, establishing QC frameworks, or leading analytical platform decisions
Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with a track record of translating complex analytical requirements into actionable plans for non-chemistry stakeholders (e.g., ML engineers, product teams)
Direct experience in the flavor and/or fragrance industry, particularly with odor-active compound analysis or consumer product characterization
Proficiency in Python or other scripting languages for analytical data processing, pipeline automation, or integration with computational workflows
Experience designing or contributing to analytical data infrastructure that feeds ML models or large-scale compound databases
Familiarity with chemometrics, multivariate data analysis, or other data-science-adjacent analytical approaches
Experience with GC-Olfactometry and Gerstel robotic systems
