Job Description

Chemist

-

• As a Chemist, you will primary own and drive analytical and materials characterization to support digital print applications. Applying chemical and materials science principles to understand ink performance, reliability and manufacturing behavior.
• The role bridges formulation development, experimental characterization, and manufacturing problem solving, supporting new technology introduction as well as ongoing production robustness.
• You will be expected to operate with a high degree of independence, exercise sound scientific judgment, and influence technical direction through data-driven insights.
• The role involves close collaboration with cross-functional partners and provides opportunities to take on technical leadership or project ownership for complex challenges.

What a formulation and analytical Chemist does at HP:

• Apply analytical and materials characterization techniques to understand ink and raw material behavior, including functional components and material interactions, to meet performance, quality, and regulatory requirements.
• Contribute to the development, optimization, and sustainment of ink formulations through strong analytical insight, with opportunities to take on increased formulation ownership over time.
• Lead analytical analysis investigations into ink-related development and manufacturing issues, connecting formulation chemistry, material behavior, and process conditions to identify root causes and corrective actions.
• Partner closely with ink manufacturing, R&D, and laboratory teams to support process development, scale-up readiness, qualification activities, and technology introduction.
• Serve as a technical subject matter contributor in formulation chemistry and/or materials characterization, influencing formulation strategies and technical direction.
• Strengthen and sustain analytical chemistry technical capability, including methods, best practices, and knowledge sharing across formulation and characterization activities.
• Represent the formulation and materials characterization function in
cross-functional projects, with opportunities to act as a technical or project lead for complex initiatives.
• Communicate technical findings clearly and effectively, through written reports and discussions, to support timely, data-driven decision making.

Individuals who do well in this role at HP, usually possess:

• PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science or a related field.
• Typically, 5+ years of experience in analytical chemistry or material characterization, ideally applied to complex chemical or materials systems in ink or materials development in a related industrial environment.
• Strong foundation in chemical formulation principles, or the ability to apply analytical insight to formulation-driven systems, with strong experimental design, and data interpretation.
• Experience applying analytical, experimental, or characterization methods to understand chemical or materials systems in R&D or manufacturing contexts.
• Ability to apply techniques in Chromatography, Spectroscopy, Elemental Analysis, Thermal measurement, or Particle Size & Physical measurement tools.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, take ownership of technical problems, and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Proven records in leading formulation studies, technical investigations, or project workstreams is strongly preferred.
