What does an XRF Chemist do?

An XRF Chemist specializes in analyzing materials using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy to determine elemental composition. They prepare samples, operate XRF instruments, interpret spectral data, and ensure accurate results for quality control, research, or regulatory compliance. XRF Chemists work in industries like mining, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and manufacturing. Their role requires expertise in chemistry, analytical techniques, and instrument calibration to maintain precision and reliability in material analysis.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an XRF Chemist?

To thrive as an XRF Chemist, you need a solid background in chemistry or materials science, analytical skills, and hands-on experience with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Familiarity with laboratory information management systems (LIMS), proficiency in using XRF instrumentation, and relevant safety certifications are typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving capability, and effective communication are important soft skills that distinguish top performers. These competencies ensure accuracy in material analysis, compliance with safety and quality standards, and smooth collaboration within laboratory teams.

Job description

Opportunity Overview

Phoenix Tailings is looking for an R&D Analytical Chemist to drive the analytical backbone of our clean metals production technology. The role involves autonomous operation of analytical instrumentation, investigation of complex samples, quality control analyses, and support of method development.

Key Responsibilities
  • Operate analytical instrumentation autonomously to support investigative analysis, quality control testing, and R&D process development.
  • Perform ICP-OES analysis to characterize process samples, raw materials, intermediates, and final products critical to Phoenix Tailings’ metals production work.
  • Analyze a variety of unknown or partially characterized samples using sound scientific judgment to help identify composition, hazards, and appropriate next analytical steps.
  • Work closely with the Principal Analytical Scientist on complex analyses of high‑priority samples that require critical thinking, method adaptation, and creative problem‑solving.
  • Support the development and refinement of analytical methods for safely identifying and characterizing potentially hazardous materials.
  • Conduct additional analytical work such as gas analysis via FTIR and other techniques relevant to evolving R&D and production needs.
  • Generate clear, technically sound reports that communicate analytical findings, limitations, and recommendations to support rapid decision‑making.
  • Maintain safe laboratory practices when handling unknown, reactive, or potentially hazardous materials in a fast‑moving R&D environment.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related fields.
  • 1–5 years of experience in a laboratory environment with hands‑on analytical chemistry, R&D, quality control, or process support.
  • Experience with ICP‑OES / ICP‑MS, XRF, PXRD, SEM‑EDS, wet chemistry and sample digestion, analytical balances and laboratory QA/QC.
  • Ability to work independently with a variety of unknown or complex samples and apply scientific reasoning to determine appropriate analytical approaches.
  • Familiarity with analytical method development, validation, or adaptation for non‑routine samples.
  • Experience handling chemical samples safely, including materials that may be hazardous, reactive, or not fully characterized.
  • Ability to write clear technical reports that translate analytical data into useful conclusions for scientists, engineers, and technical leaders.
  • Ability to take on evolving analytical responsibilities as the lab and company scale, including FTIR gas analysis and other instrumentation as needed.
  • Must be able to wear a respirator for extended periods of time and lift up to 30 lbs.
Benefits
  • Healthcare: 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage for employee.
  • Stock Options: ownership in a fast‑growing venture‑backed company.
  • Time Off: unlimited PTO.
