Fragrance Compounder

Who we are at Osmo:

Osmo is the Olfactory Intelligence company, on a mission to give AI a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell has the ability to delight us, protect us, and heal us.

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:

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company

• Comprehensive medical coverage, including a $0 employee premium plan option

• 100% employer paid dental and vision coverage for employees and their families

• 401(k) retirement plan with employer matching contributions

• Flexible PTO including a paid winter closure

• 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, plus mental health and wellness support

• Catered Lunch — Mon/Wed/Fri

• Employee Shuttles from Newark, NJ and Brooklyn, NY and commuter benefits
