Analytical Chemist (Chromatography)

The people here at Apple don’t just build products - they build the kind of wonder that’s revolutionised entire industries. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it. Imagine what you could do here.
We're seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Chromatography Analyst to join our Failure Analysis team. The team is responsible for root cause failure analysis across all Apple Hardware products and advanced material characterisation for guiding design and process changes. Description
In this role, you will use advanced chromatographic techniques to investigate and determine the root cause of product and material failures. You will be responsible for separating, identifying, and quantifying chemical compounds in failed materials, contaminants, and production samples. You will be collaborating with cross functional teams to determine the root cause of product failure and recommend corrective actions. You will have the opportunity to be creative and use your engineering and scientific knowledge to solve complex problems and present the findings to global teams and executives. Preferred Qualifications
PhD. in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science or a related discipline 5+ years of hands-on experience with advanced chromatography techniques (GC, IC, LC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) in consumer electronics failure analysis Develop, validate, and optimize new analytical methods for the identification of contaminants, degradation products, and unknown substances related to failure investigations Familiarity with related analytical techniques, such as FTIR, SEM/EDX Experience in technically mentoring and managing Jr. Engineers and / or technicians Minimum Qualifications
Master’s degree in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Polymer Science, Materials Science or a related discipline. 5+ years of hands-on experience with advanced chromatography techniques (GC, IC, LC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS). Strong fundamental knowledge of chromatographic principles and separation science. Analyse and interpret complex chromatographic data (e.g., chromatograms and mass spectra), drawing conclusions about the chemical composition and its relationship to the product failure. Meticulous approach to sample handling, data collection, and documentation. Operate and maintain analytical instrumentation and conduct routine calibration to ensure accurate and reliable data. Creating comprehensive technical reports with crisp and concise data for presenting to cross-functional teams Excellent verbal and written communication and presentation skills.
