Who We Are

Vanguard Laboratory is a small, family-owned startup analytical lab in Olympia, WA. We analyze food, agricultural, drinking water, environmental samples and a diverse portfolio of peptides, SARMs/SERMs, nootropics, and supplement actives. Accredited by WA Dept. of Ecology and A2LA ISO/IEC 17025. We’re tight-knit, collaborative, and relentlessly improvement-driven.

The Role (fast-paced & dynamic)

We’re hiring an experienced Analytical Chemist who thrives in a fast-moving, dynamic environment, someone who can pivot across projects and instrumentation without missing a beat. You’ll lead method development and validation (ISO/IEC 17025) with heavy use of Agilent and SCIEX platforms, and take ownership of peptide and specialty analyte workflows (SARMs/SERMs, nootropics, supplements), alongside food and environmental testing.

If you prefer doing the same test every day, this isn’t the role. If you enjoy learning new instrumentation/methods and wearing multiple hats, you’ll love it here.

What You’ll Do

Develop & validate methods (ISO/IEC 17025): specificity, linearity, accuracy/precision, robustness, recovery, MDL/LOD/LOQ, and uncertainty; complete validation reports and SOPs.
Peptides & specialty analytes: build LC–MS/MS, HPLC (UV-VIS,FLD,RID), GC-FID, GC-MS workflows for peptides, SARMs/SERMs, nootropics, and supplement actives, small molecules, etc across raw materials and finished products.

Run & maintain instruments: Agilent GC–MS/GC-FID, ICP-MS, HPLV UV/Vis; SCIEX LC-MS/MS; Shimadzu UHPLC).
Troubleshoot & optimize: preventive maintenance, root-cause analysis for sensitivity/ion suppression, spare-parts planning, vendor coordination.
Data integrity: review/approve data and COAs; software includes MassHunter, OpenLab, ChemStation, SCIEX OS.
Mentor & cross-train teammates; help build out new capabilities as we grow.

What You Bring

Industry experience strongly preferred (pharma/supplements/food/env). Relevant academic experience will be considered.
3+ years analytical chemistry in ISO/IEC 17025 or regulated labs (or equivalent depth).
Proven method development & validation ownership, with strong documentation and statistics.
Hands-on with Agilent hardware/software and SCIEX LC-MS/MS; confident across HPLC/LC–MS/MS, GC-MS/GC-FID, ICP-MS, IC, UV/Vis, etc
Demonstrated work with peptides and preferably SARMs/SERMs, nootropics, supplements, small molecules, pharmaceuticals (sample prep, isomerism, stability, common interferences).
Knowledge of EPA, AOAC, USP, NELAC requirements.
BS/MS in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, or related PhD .
Thrives in a fast-paced, changing workload; excellent communication and teamwork.

Schedule

We’re open 8:30–5:30, Mon–Fri, and offer flexibility to arrange an alternate schedule that fits your life while meeting lab needs.

What We Offer

A culture of continuous improvement and innovation—your work directly shapes our scope and growth.
Professional development: conferences, seminars, training.

Method bonus program: $500–$2,000 for each method successfully added to our ISO 17025 or DOE scope.
