About the Role:
Epogee is seeking a Principal Separation Scientist to join our analytical team, with a focus on HPLC and GC method development and execution in support of R&D discovery workstreams. You will be the analytical “source of truth” to provide objective data to multiple simultaneous workstreams. A core part of the role is judgment: knowing what level of analytical rigor a given project actually needs, and recommending methods accordingly — whether that's fast directional data or a fully validated, regulatory‑grade method. You'll also be integrating the latest AI tools to supercharge your work, from basic data analysis to supporting innovation with rapid iteration. This is a hands‑on, laboratory‑focused role for someone who wants to grow their career by deepening their technical knowledge of working with analytical equipment. You'll report to the Director of R&D, work alongside another member of the analytical team, and collaborate with scientists across the broader R&D group.
Responsibilities:
- Develop, optimize, and execute HPLC and GC/GC‑MS methods for lipid and other molecular characterization, analyte quantitation, and impurity profiling
- Support multiple discovery workstreams, coordinating closely with other team members
- Recommend analytical approaches based on project stage and business need
- Independently troubleshoot instrumentation, methods, and data anomalies
- Support method validation, gauge R&R, and documentation for regulatory submissions (EFSA, US GRAS, Health Canada)
- Continually grow your expertise by expanding into additional analytical techniques as needed, including rheology and benchtop NMRMaintain rigorous documentation and data integrity standards
- Partner with instrument vendors and service providers on qualification and maintenanceMS or PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, or related field 5+ years of hands‑on HPLC and GC experience, ideally in food, lipid, or pharma chemistry
- Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot instrumentation and methods
- Strong judgment on matching analytical rigor to project stage and business need — comfortable moving fast when speed matters and being exacting when the situation calls for itDetail‑oriented with excellent documentation habits
- Experience with rheology and/or benchtop NMR, or willingness to cross‑train
- Experience integrating AI tools into scientific or lab workflows
- Enjoys hands‑on lab work and wants to grow a career at the bench
- Comfortable working closely within a small, cross‑functional team
