  • Develop and evaluate new resin technologies designed to address sustainability, regulatory, processing, and customer application requirements.
  • Apply a strong understanding of polymer and organic chemistry to investigate structure-property relationships and guide formulation and technology development.
  • Design, execute, analyze, and interpret laboratory experiments to advance technical understanding and accelerate development.
  • Partner cross-functionally to troubleshoot customer and manufacturing challenges, resolve product quality issues, and identify opportunities to improve product performance, productivity, and efficiency.
  • Translate technical findings into clear recommendations and effectively communicate results to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Manage projects from concept through development and commercialization, balancing technical priorities, timelines, and business requirements.
  • Maintain appropriate technical documentation and ensure work is conducted in accordance with applicable safety, quality, and regulatory requirements.
  • Travel up to 20% as needed to support customers, manufacturing sites, and business priorities.

Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated expertise in polymer chemistry, resin development, formulation, or related materials science.
  • Experience with unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins, thermoset polymers, composites, or related technologies is strongly preferred.
  • Strong experimental design, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities, including experience applying statistical design of experiments where appropriate.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage technical projects and drive work from concept through completion.
  • Self-motivated, well-organized, persistent, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a collaborative environment.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively across functions.
  • Strong project management skills and a demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with R&D, Manufacturing, Technical Service, Sales, and Product Management.
