Senior Laboratory Instrumentation Technologist

About the work

Picture your day starting at 6:30 AM in our New Port Richey, FL laboratories. You check the job order, scan the Safety Data Sheet, and move from bench to bench selecting the right gear to execute a test plan you refined with our engineers. By 3:00 PM, you’ve helped advance critical filtration and separation technologies that touch everything from aircraft to smartphones—sometimes with overtime or a flexible schedule when projects demand it. You’ll report to the Engineering Manager, Laboratory Services and be the technical backbone for our instruments and related systems.
