Gcms Analyst Jobs (NOW HIRING)

FILTROUS filtrous.com | Poway, CA
Application Scientist (Analytical)
Make Every Analysis Count
Why This Role Matters
When a lab's LCMS method fails validation, a product launch gets delayed. When sample prep goes
wrong, an entire batch of testing has to be repeated. At Filtrous, we don't just sell vials, filters, and
consumables. We help analytical labs get reliable results. As our Application Scientist in Analytical
Chemistry, you'll be the expert who develops validated methods, travels to customer sites to solve
real instrument challenges, and creates the technical content that proves our products perform. Your
work will directly impact laboratories running critical analyses in pharmaceutical QC, environmental
testing, food safety, and industrial quality control.
What You'll Do
• Develop Methods Customers Can Trust: Create and validate analytical methods on HPLC, LCMS,
GCMS, and ICP-MS that meet USP, EPA, and FDA requirements. You'll give customers
ready-to-use protocols instead of months of trial-and-error.
• Be the Expert in the Field: Travel to customer sites to troubleshoot method failures, optimize
sample preparation, and validate instrument performance. Your hands-on support turns
frustrated analysts into loyal partners.
• Solve the Sample Prep Problem: Many failed analyses start with bad sample prep. You'll develop
and demonstrate optimized workflows using our filters, vials, and QuEChERS products that deliver
clean, consistent samples.
• Create Content that Sells: Author application notes, white papers, and method guides that
demonstrate product value on real instruments. Your technical content becomes the proof that
wins new customers.
• Shape What We Build: Collaborate with R&D; to ensure new consumables are compatible with
major instrument platforms. Your field insights prevent costly product-market mismatches.
• Arm the Sales Team: Provide technical demonstrations and answer the hard questions during
customer engagements. Your expertise closes deals that sales alone cannot.
How Success is Measured
• Deliver 6+ validated methods and technical application notes per quarter across HPLC, LCMS,
GCMS, or ICP-MS platforms
• Achieve 90%+ customer satisfaction on field support visits and method validation projects
• Reduce method-related support tickets by providing clear documentation and validated
protocols
• Contribute to new product launches with instrument-specific performance data
Why You'll Love It Here
At Filtrous, you're not stuck running the same QC method on repeat. You're a key player working
closely with a small, collaborative team where your expertise directly impacts customers and
products. You'll report directly to the Director of R&D;, collaborate daily with sales, QC, and
operations, and see your methods used by real labs solving real analytical challenges. You'll work
across multiple instrument platforms, visit diverse laboratory environments, and build deep expertise
that makes you invaluable. And as Filtrous grows, you'll grow with us: expanding into new analytical
areas, mentoring future hires, and shaping our technical direction.
Who You Are
• Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry or related field with extensive instrumentation experience (required)
• Hands-on expert in method development and validation on LCMS, HPLC, GCMS, and/or ICP-MS
• Deep understanding of chromatography, mass spectrometry, and sample preparation techniques
• Regulatory savvy: familiar with USP, EPA, FDA method validation requirements
• Strong communicator: you can explain complex analytical chemistry to both PhDs and
technicians
• Willing to travel: customer sites, method validations, and industry events
Bonus points if you have:
• Experience with multiple instrument vendors (Agilent, Waters, Thermo, Shimadzu, PerkinElmer)
• Background in pharmaceutical QC, environmental testing, or food safety analysis
• Experience with heavy metals, pesticides, or residual solvent testing
• Track record of published application notes or technical publications
