We offer opportunities to do your life’s work while helping solve one of the most important technical and moral challenges of our time. Full-time, in-office in Emeryville, California. Compensation includes equity. You’ll translate our hit repellent compounds from milligram-scale discoveries into pilot and manufacturing scale formulations. You’ll optimize solvent systems, work on controlled release systems, and ensure robust, reproducible processes for field trials and commercial production. Key Responsibilities • Lead bench-to-pilot scale-up of candidate compounds, focusing on solvent selection, solvent recovery, controlled release, and other critical scale-up variables • Design and execute experiments to assess solubility, stability, and volatility • Troubleshoot formulation issues and iterate quickly under real-world constraints • Collaborate cross-functionally with predictive-modeling, behavioral assay, and computational chemist groups Qualifications • M.S. or Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related field • 3+ years’ hands-on scale-up or process chemistry experience • Deep understanding of solvent properties, controlled release phenomena, and formulation principles • Track record of developing robust, reproducible processes • Strong data analysis, documentation, and troubleshooting skills Desired Attributes • Entrepreneurial mindset: thrives in ambiguity and high-pressure environments • Resilient problem-solver: tackles “hardest things” head-on • Communicates clearly, honestly, and respectfully • Collaborative spirit To learn more, visit monarchlabs.org
