If Nanosys truly had a reliable cost effective way of scaling then why are they looking to hire someone to help with those issues...flow chemistry is where its at..good on Steve for recognizing that...while others were developing the carriages Steve was developing the horse farm to pull them.Looks like they are stuck with semi automated batch processing for now.

Process Development Chemist
We are seeking a Process Development Chemist with experience in semiconductor nanocrystal (quantum dot) synthesis to be responsible for the process development, optimization, and scale-up of our solution based nanocrystal synthesis. The candidate should have a deep understanding of nanocrystal chemistry and its growth kinetics, and have extensive hands-on experience including nanocrystal synthesis, purification, characterization and data analysis. The candidate will need to conduct extensive research in small scale to select and optimize scalable processes for nanocrystal synthesis and purification. As the process owner, the candidate will then need to work with chemical engineers, equipment engineers and the manufacturing team to scale up the processes and address any issues which may come up during the scale-up . He/she will routinely need to track and analyze the manufacturing data to improve the processes. The process owner will also write, revise and review process documents including safety manual, SOP, work traveler, etc. In addition, the new chemist will also need to train manufacturing personnel on new processes and procedures.
Essential Job Functions:
Lead process scale-up, validation, documentation, and transfer to manufacturing.
Optimize semiconductor nanocrystal synthesis and purification, utilizing inorganic and organic chemistry techniques.
Develop robust, scalable processes for next-generation manufacturing.
Use analytical methods to characterize intermediates and products.
Manage cross functional teams and processes in order to meet and deliver process development goals.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
Deep understanding of nanocrystal chemistry and growth kinetics.
Extensive experience with nanocrystal synthesis, purification and characterization.
Excellent communication skills both verbal and written and strong interpersonal skills to interact well in a team environment.
Ability and desire to work efficiently and productively in a deadline orientated production environment, independently and with minimal supervision.
Design of experiment (DOE) methodology experience.
Experience with air-free synthesis technique is required.
Education and Experience:
PhD degree in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering and a minimum of 3 years of industrial experience or an MS degree in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering and 8 years of relevant experience.
Industrial wet/solution based chemical scale-up experience.
Excellent leadership, collaboration and interpersonal skills and the ability to work with cross-disciplinary groups.
Superior problem-solving skills.
