Senior Laboratory Technician – 6-month contract position  

Voice Systems Engineering, a management company, is recruiting a Senior Laboratory Technician on behalf of our client Plasma Futures. Plasma Futures is a research and development startup that champions the use of non-thermal plasma for healthcare and industrial applications. Our patented Plasma Directed Electron Beam™ (PDEB™) technology is the basis of two platforms currently in development: the NO Generator, as an alternative to expensive, unstable cylinders and a Handheld device that directs the PDEB directly to targets for a variety of applications. This is a 6-month contract position, based at the Plasma Futures Laboratory (in The Center for Scientific Excellence building) at Walsh University in North Canton, OH.  

If you’re our new Senior Laboratory Technician, you will look forward to working collaboratively on projects such as:      

  • Designing and validating a PDEB™ NO Generator-assisted synthetic route for a nitrogen donor of interest 

  • Continuing characterization of the current PDEB™ NO Generator in support of the next generation design 

  • Characterizing the PDEB™ Handheld output and performance 

You will use your hands-on technical skills and strong experience in the development of a validated testbed, executing experiments, evaluating instrument performance, and ensuring safety protocols. The Senior Laboratory Technician will be responsible for the:  

  • Executing development and optimization device prototype testing. 

  • Conducting analytical tasks utilizing instrumentation such as FTIR, UV/Vis and HPLC. 

  • Carrying out planned chemical synthesis and purification processes. 

  • Maintaining laboratory equipment, troubleshooting technical issues, and ensuring all instrumentation is in optimal working condition. 

  • Documenting project progression, experimental results, and maintain detailed laboratory records. 

  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, and regulatory affairs, to support a comprehensive understanding of the technology and its potential applications.  

Your journey so far will have likely included:  

  • A bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a related field. 

  • At least three years of experience working in a laboratory environment (academic or industrial). 

  • Experience with synthesis, purification and characterization techniques. 

  • Instrumental and analytical method development skills are highly desirable. 

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. 

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, as well as instrument-specific software for operating and interpreting results from laboratory equipment. 

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to conduct thorough research and distill complex information into actionable insights. 

  • Experience with nonthermal plasma, RF technology or gas control systems is a plus, but not required.
