Description

Certinum Labs is an independent analytical testing laboratory in Fort Lauderdale, FL, specializing in peptide and dietary supplement analysis — identity, purity, and content — by HPLC and LC-MS. We are seeking an experienced analytical chemist to establish and run our analytical operations as the lab comes online.

This is a hands-on, ground-floor role in a newly equipped laboratory. You will own the science from day one — developing and validating methods, qualifying instruments, building the quality system, and releasing results. It’s ideal for an analytical/QC chemist who wants to build a lab’s technical capability from the ground up rather than slot into an existing one.

Responsibilities:

Develop and validate HPLC and LC-MS methods (identity, purity, quantification) to ICH/USP standards
Review, approve, and sign Certificates of Analysis (COAs); investigate out-of-specification (OOS) results and ensure data integrity
Establish SOPs, the quality system, and good laboratory practices (toward ISO/IEC 17025)
Oversee instrument qualification (IQ/OQ) and day-to-day analytical operations
Serve as the laboratory’s technical/quality lead
Compensation: Full-time, W-2, on-site in Fort Lauderdale, FL $55,000–$80,000/year depending on experience immediate start.

To apply, email your CV/résumé to contact@certinumlabs.com.

Requirements

B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, or Biochemistry
Hands-on expertise with HPLC and LC-MS (Shimadzu / LabSolutions a plus)
Method development and validation experience in a GMP or accredited (e.g. ISO 17025) laboratory
Track record of reviewing and releasing analytical results (COAs) strongly preferred
Able to work autonomously and serve as the lab’s technical authority
