Batch Mixing Technician

Who we are at Osmo:

Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory.

Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone.

We're headquartered in Elizabeth, NJ, with an additional office in Somerville, MA. We provide complimentary shuttle service from Brooklyn and Newark, NJ.

About the Role

Osmo is seeking a Compounder to accurately measure, weigh, and mix raw materials and essential oils according to formulas and batch sheets in our sample lab. This is a craft, not just a process: precision, real understanding of raw material characteristics, and developing sensory judgment are what separate a successful sample lab compounder from someone just following steps.

What You'll Do:

Fragrance Compounding — Accurately measure, weigh, and mix raw materials and essential oils according to formulas and batch sheets

Verify Materials & Formulas — Check materials against specifications and batch sheets before use, and flag discrepancies before they become a downstream problem

Equipment Operation & Maintenance — Operate and clean mixing tanks, scales, pumps, and other production equipment while following SOPs

Safety & Compliance — Follow all company safety protocols, including hazardous material handling and PPE

Inventory Management — Assist in monitoring raw material stock levels using Osmo's inventory system, and notify supervisors of shortages

Collaboration — Work closely with quality control and production teams to ensure consistency and efficiency

Who You Are:

2-5 years of hands-on sample lab compounding experience within fragrance or flavor manufacturing

Extreme attention to detail and accuracy measuring, weighing, and blending raw materials

Able to follow written formulas and instructions precisely

Strong organizational and multitasking skills

Able to work in a fast-paced production environment

Able to lift 25 lbs

Ways to Stand Out:

Understand the order of addition for certain raw materials and the reasons behind it

Ability to distinguish fragrance notes

Prior experience with inventory or production tracking systems, or material-handling equipment certification (e.g. forklift)

What We Offer:

Catered Lunch — Mon/Wed/Fri; Newark, NJ and Brooklyn shuttles

401(k) savings plan and employer match

Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company

Flexible PTO and paid family leave

Commuter benefits (pre-tax transit and parking)
