Textile waste is a growing global challenge. Syre’s mission is to decarbonize and dewaste textiles, starting with the world's biggest fiber, polyester. By implementing true textile-to-textile recycling at hyperscale, we want to drive the transition from a linear to a circular value chain by putting textile waste to use, over and over again.

Syre is growing, and we’re now seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Analytical Chemist to join our stellar technical team! Your main responsibilities will be developing, qualifying, and performing analytical methods to support process development testing, and perform process analytics. And, finally, to release certificates of analysis to suppliers and customers.

Key tasks and responsibilities

• Lead analytical projects focusing on quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) for products and processes.
• Employ advanced analytical techniques to ensure compliance and data accuracy:
  • HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography)
  • GC (Gas Chromatography)
  • TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis)
  • DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry)
  • ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry)
  • NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)
• Develop, validate, and implement robust analytical methods for routine and specialized testing.
• Conduct internal audits to ensure adherence to quality standards and regulatory requirements.
• Collaborate with external customers to establish quality requirements and ensure satisfaction with analytical services.
• Partner with external laboratories, universities, and research institutes to enhance analytical capabilities and share best practices.
• Analyze data, prepare comprehensive technical reports, and present findings to stakeholders, emphasizing quality metrics and compliance.
• Mentor and train junior chemists in analytical techniques and QA/QC methodologies.
• Troubleshoot analytical challenges and implement corrective actions to improve data integrity and reliability.
• Ensure laboratory compliance with all safety, quality, and environmental regulations.

We would prefer if you

• Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Chemistry or a related field.
  
• Extensive experience with HPLC, GC, TGA, DSC, ICP-MS, and NMR, with a strong emphasis on quality assurance.
  
• In-depth knowledge of regulatory standards and quality management systems (e.g., ISO, GMP).
  
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  
• Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with internal teams and external partners.
