ICP-MS Analyst (Trace Analysis / High-Purity Lab)
Location: Auburn Hills, MI
Schedule: Monday – Friday | 7am - 3pm
Compensation: $35.00 – $40.00/hour (based on experience)
Position Type: Contract-To-Hire (Full-Time)
About the Opportunity
Our client is seeking a highly skilled ICP-MS Analyst to support a technically advanced laboratory environment focused on trace-level analysis.
This is not a general lab role — they are targeting candidates with hands-on ICP-MS experience who can operate independently and contribute immediately. The position is open due to a vacancy and is a priority hire, but the team is focused on identifying the right long-term fit.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who thrives in a precision-driven environment and has a strong understanding of contamination control, quality practices, and analytical instrumentation.
What You’ll Do
- Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot ICP-MS instrumentation
- Prepare samples, standards, and calibrations (including trace-level handling and dilutions)
- Execute and support quality control processes (blanks, spikes, duplicates, etc.)
- Maintain strict contamination control practices at ppt (parts-per-trillion) levels
- Perform data analysis and support SPC / trend monitoring
- Ensure accurate and thorough documentation of lab processes and results
- Operate additional lab equipment as needed (titration systems, pH meters, moisture analyzers, etc.)
- Support overall lab operations and continuous improvement initiatives
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years of direct, hands-on ICP-MS experience
- Proven ability to operate independently in a lab environment
- Strong understanding of trace-level contamination control
- Experience with QC methodologies and data integrity best practices
- Familiarity with SPC / trend analysis
- High attention to detail and strong documentation discipline
- Experience in semiconductor, high-purity, or water testing environments strongly preferred
Why This Role
- Opportunity to step into a high-impact, technically specialized role
- Work within a precision-driven lab environment with advanced instrumentation
- Strong team focused on quality, process, and continuous improvement
- Immediate need with long-term growth potential for the right individual
