Research Chemist - Autonomous Discovery of Organic Materials at BlueHalo, an AV company
Date: 1 hour ago
City: Dayton, OH
Contract type: Full time
Job Details
Description
BlueHalo, an AV Company, has an opportunity available for Research Chemist that will be an integral member of the Polymers and Responsive Materials Team. The primary responsibilities include designing, synthesizing, and characterizing novel functional organic polymers and materials using advanced digital chemistry approaches. This will involve parallelized or high-throughput experimentation, automated materials science, and data-driven optimization, utilizing both conventional synthetic methods and machine learning-driven approaches. Specific emphasis will be placed on flow chemistry and robotic platforms. Experience integrating open-source hardware with advanced characterization techniques is essential, including automated spectroscopic methods (e.g., FTIR, UV-Vis, NMR), chromatographic techniques (e.g., GPC, HPLC), and mechanical property analysis (e.g., tensile testing, rheology).
Emphasis areas include developing novel synthesis/test strategies for functional organic polymers and materials, implementing high-throughput characterization techniques, and applying AI/ML and optimization algorithms to predict performance and optimize synthetic pathways. A background in organic polymer synthesis, materials characterization, and data-driven materials research is preferred. Familiarity with AI/ML models, optimization algorithms, and a willingness to learn programming languages such as Python is also desirable.
