About Us
Advancing atmospheric-pressure mass spectrometry for laboratory and field applications—designed for precision, portability, and real-world performance.
Engineering the Future of Mass Spectrometry
Over 25 years of mass spectrometry expertise in action.
Who We Are
MassTech is a privately owned analytical instrumentation and technology company incorporated in 2001 for developing AP/MALDI, field deployable ion trap mass spectrometers, and conducting on-going research and development in support of product lines.
Our Innovation
The AP/MALDI platform was created to provide:
- Atmospheric pressure operation, eliminating the need for vacuum-based MALDI systems
- High spatial resolution imaging for detailed molecular maps
- Versatile and interchangeable source architecture for broad instrument compatibility
This unique combination of features supports advanced applications while preserving usability in diverse laboratory environments.
What We stand For
We are committed to:
- Scientific integrity: every claim we make is rooted in documented performance and real laboratory experience
- Collaboration: working with scientists, engineers, and instrument partners to advance imaging workflows
- Practical innovation: solutions that perform in real labs — not just in theory
Where We Serve
AP/MALDI solutions are applied in:
- Life sciences research — enabling deeper understanding of biological systems
- Pharmaceutical development — supporting drug discovery and spatial analysis
- Clinical and translational research — driving insights from tissues and cell models
Our Mission
AP/MALDI exists to advance spatial molecular analysis by delivering imaging solutions that integrate seamlessly into real laboratory workflows. We are committed to enabling researchers to generate reliable, high-resolution molecular insights—without unnecessary complexity—so discovery, validation, and translation can move forward with confidence.
Careers at MassTech
Senior/Principal MS Instrumentation Scientist
The successful candidate will work with a multi-disciplinary product development team to develop, evaluate, document, and introduce MS systems; build new MS system components, identify issues for evaluation, design experiments, collect and interpret data, and recommend further action.
This position requires prior hands-on experience in designing, modifying, and evaluating ion trap mass spectrometer systems. Requires a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, Physics, or a related scientific discipline with a demonstrated background in mass spectrometry instrumentation R&D. Good written and oral communication skills are needed.
This will be a full-time, in-person role at MassTech, Columbia, MD, without the possibility of remote work. The job involves 5–10% travel to customer locations and conferences whenever needed. Candidates should be able to lift heavy objects around 50 lbs and work in a laboratory that deals with chemicals, electronics, electrical, and laser equipment.
Competitive salary and a benefits package including 401(k) and relocation assistance will be offered.
