Senior R&D Analytical Laboratory Technician (R&D CENTRE)

• Diploma in Textile Engineering, Chemical Technology, Laboratory Technology, Polymer/Materials Technology or another relevant technical/scientific discipline may be considered for candidates with strong practical laboratory experience.

• A Bachelor`s degree in Textile Engineering, Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Materials Science, Polymer Science, Physics or a related discipline will be considered an advantage, but is not mandatory.

• Practical analytical laboratory skills, scientific understanding and ability to operate instruments accurately will be given strong consideration alongside formal academic qualifications.

• 2 to 5 years
• The applicants should have experience in the following business area(s): Garments

• Age At most 45 years

• Preferably 2–5 years of hands-on experience in a textile, polymer, chemical, materials, testing or analytical laboratory.

• Hands-on experience with DSC and/or FTIR is strongly preferred. Experience with both instruments will be a significant advantage.

• Candidates should have a strong laboratory/scientific background with basic knowledge of materials, chemistry, and analytical principles. Hands-on DSC and/or FTIR experience is strongly preferred.

• Candidates with practical experience on other analytical instruments such as TGA, SEM/microscopy, rheometer, viscometer or goniometer are also encouraged to apply if they have the ability and willingness to learn DSC and FTIR.

• Experience analyzing textile, polymer, coating, chemical or related industrial materials will be an advantage.

• The candidate must be comfortable performing laboratory work personally rather than supervising operators or managing a laboratory team.

SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES

• Basic to good understanding of chemistry, polymers/materials and textile fibers sufficient to understand the purpose and principles of analytical measurements.

• Ability to follow analytical methods and SOPs accurately and to understand the importance of sample preparation, calibration, measurement conditions and data quality.

• Good analytical and observational skills, attention to detail and a methodical approach to laboratory work.

• Ability to recognize abnormal or questionable measurement results and perform basic troubleshooting before escalating complex analytical problems.

• Willingness and ability to learn new analytical instruments, software and characterization methods.

• Spoken and written English must be at a good working level for effective communication and for understanding technical manuals, scientific/technical literature, specifications, standards and instrument instructions.

• The candidate must be able to prepare clear, accurate and well-structured technical reports in English describing analytical methods, results, observations and conclusions.

• Good computer skills for data handling, preparation of graphs/tables and technical reporting using standard office software. Experience with instrument-specific analytical software is an advantage.

• Fluency in Bengali (spoken and written) is required.

• Curiosity, accuracy, responsibility and a hands-on approach to experimental work.

• Ability to work effectively with R&D project staff, testing laboratory personnel and other technical teams.

• Candidates with relevant laboratory experience and the ability to learn new techniques may also be considered. Training will be provided on additional instruments.
