Job Description

NAI is a reputable company specializing in analytical laboratory services within a highly regulated industry, focusing on quality control and product analysis to ensure that products meet stringent standards. Known for its commitment to excellence, compliance, and continuous improvement, NAI provides advanced testing and research services that support production and R&D activities. This establishment prides itself on adhering to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP), maintaining a safe and efficient environment where precision and reliability are paramount. The company offers a professional workplace environment featuring a computer workstation and climate-controlled office alongside a fully equipped analytical laboratory where personal protective equipment (PPE) is routinely utilized. Employees also occasionally enter production areas that require additional protective measures due to exposure to airborne powdered nutritional supplement substances.

The role of QC Analytical Technician at NAI involves performing routine analysis of raw materials, in-process bulk, finished products, and stability samples using various analytical methodologies, including chromatography, spectroscopy, and both physical and chemical separation techniques. The individual in this position is responsible for conducting tests such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS), Ultraviolet Spectroscopy (UV), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Karl Fisher titration, and methods conforming to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monographs. Beyond conducting these routine procedures, the technician must maintain accuracy and precision while preparing samples, standards, and reagents, handling chemicals safely, and ensuring quality control documentation is meticulously completed.

Additionally, the technician supports laboratory operations by managing chemical and supplies inventory, operating and maintaining laboratory equipment, troubleshooting instrument errors, and communicating testing progress to management and lab coordinators. The role involves data processing, ensuring peer reviews are completed for accuracy, and finalizing reports to meet compliance standards. The job requires a detail-oriented and quality-minded professional capable of multitasking and adapting to workflow changes while meeting deadlines.

This position offers a full-time schedule from Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, emphasizing a well-structured work-life balance. NAI additionally fosters employee growth and satisfaction through comprehensive training programs, tuition reimbursement, and career advancement opportunities. The company offers competitive compensation in a supportive environment and is an Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity and inclusion. New hires undergo a rigorous background check and pre-employment drug testing as part of the onboarding process. Overall, this role is essential for maintaining the high quality and regulatory compliance standards expected in NAI’s laboratory services, making it ideal for candidates with a strong background in chemistry and laboratory analysis seeking career development in a respected and dynamic organization.
