Executes product testing and documentation accurately and on time
Maintains organized, compliant lab environment with reliable inventory tracking
Supports product evaluations that inform go-to-market decisions
Demonstrates ability to manage multiple priorities with minimal oversight

WORK ENVIRONMENT
This position is based 100% onsite at our headquarters in Batavia, Illinois. The role operates across office, laboratory, and warehouse-adjacent environments, supporting both lab and operational activities. The primary workspace includes a shared office and laboratory setting with regular team interaction and ambient noise from nearby equipment and warehouse operations. Comfort working in an active, collaborative environment is essential. This role requires regular computer use, hands-on laboratory work, and ongoing communication with cross-functional teams.

Attendance and punctuality are essential for success in this role. This is a hands-on, onsite position that supports daily laboratory operations, and consistent, reliable presence during scheduled working hours is required. The role is not designed for flexible or asynchronous work, and responsibilities must be performed in real time to support team and business needs. Occasional flexibility in schedule may be needed to support business priorities and project timelines.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
This role requires the ability to sit for extended periods while performing computer-based tasks, as well as stand and move throughout the workday within office, laboratory, and warehouse spaces. The position involves hands-on laboratory work, including handling chemicals and materials in accordance with safety guidelines. Occasional lifting of up to 20 pounds may be required. The individual must be able to access and navigate all areas of the facility to support day-to-day responsibilities.

How We Work: The Flinn Formula
Success at Flinn isn’t just about what you achieve, but how you achieve it. Our cultural framework, the Flinn Formula, defines the behaviors that fuel our transformation:

Solution-Oriented: You don’t just flag problems — you propose paths forward.
Curious: You ask “why” and “what if,” pushing for smarter ways to work.
Customer-Obsessed: You keep educators and students at the heart of every decision.
Collaborative: You bring people together, even when perspectives differ.
Resilient: You stay steady and push through challenges with urgency and grit.
Invested: You own outcomes, follow through, and hold others to the same standard.

These behaviors are not aspirational – they are core expectations. Consistent misalignment with the Flinn Formula is considered a performance issue.
