Summary:

This role is focused on driving the technical development and execution of advanced materials and coating processes within long-term product development programs. The position requires a deep understanding of material behavior, coating technologies, and manufacturing constraints. Working closely with cross-functional teams, this role will plan and conduct experiments, develop process documentation, support scale-up efforts, and ensure technical progress aligns with project goals. A strong detail orientation and hands-on problem-solving approach are critical for success.

 

Essential Functions: Lead the engineering execution of development projects, with a focus on materials, coatings, and process integration. Develop and execute experimental plans to evaluate coating performance, process parameters, and material compatibility. Apply sound engineering principles to assess feasibility, optimize formulations, and troubleshoot issues in coating application and curing processes. Collaborate with stakeholders to translate product requirements into technical specifications and process guidelines. Analyze test data and material behavior to drive decisions and improve product design and manufacturability. Document experimental results, coating formulations, application procedures, and process conditions in detail for internal knowledge capture and technology transfer. Support process scale-up from lab to pilot or production scale, identifying and mitigating technical risks. Maintain technical tracking tools and contribute to progress reports; support limited project management tasks as needed for cross-functional coordination. Experience with program management, budgeting, planning, tracking, organization and attention to detail is a plus Assist in the planning and execution of moderate to large technical and product development projects Other engineering duties as assigned Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, Material Science or related field.  May consider equivalent work experience in lieu of degree 4+ years of Engineering experience Experience with material behavior and coating processes
