The posting

To thrive as a Senior Digital R&D Scientist, you will combine a strong foundation in scientific research with a passion for data-driven innovation and the ability to translate emerging technologies into practical R&D solutions. This role brings together coating and formulation science with computational modeling, advanced analytics, and digital innovation to accelerate product development and improve scientific decision-making. As part of the Digitalization & Formula Management team, you will transform formulation data into actionable insights while advancing the use of machine learning, laboratory automation, and modern approaches. We value curiosity, collaboration, creativity, and scientific rigor, and believe the future of R&D is driven by the combination of technical knowledge and digital capabilities!

In this role, you will partner with formulation scientists and cross-functional teams to design and optimize experiments, develop predictive models, analyze datasets, and create digital tools that improve the speed and effectiveness of product development. You will also connect scientific data across R&D systems, translate technical challenges into digital solutions, and help teams adopt new technologies. We rely on this role to lead complex technical initiatives and deliver measurable improvements in R&D productivity, formulation performance, and decision-making. We succeed when innovative thinking, scientific expertise, and technology come together to solve real-world formulation challenges.

  • Experience designing and optimizing experiments, analyzing complex technical datasets, and solving scientific and formulation challenges.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects, influence cross-functional teams, mentor scientists, and drive adoption of new tools and methodologies.
  • Proven experience applying Design of Experiments (DOE), statistical analysis, predictive modeling, sequential learning, machine learning, Bayesian optimization, or related computational approaches to scientific problems.
  • Proficiency in Python, R, or comparable programming and data analysis tools, with ability to develop or adapt analytical workflows and models.
  • Experience developing, evaluating, or supporting scientific data platforms, digital R&D workflows, laboratory automation, data integration, or AI-enabled research solutions; familiarity with Uncountable or similar systems preferred.
  • Strong communication, collaboration, teaching, and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex findings into actionable recommendations.
  • Develop and apply computational models and AI-enabled tools that leverage formulation, raw material, and performance data to identify relationships, predict outcomes, recommend experiments, and accelerate formulation optimization.

Here is what we offer you:

  • Enjoy our hybrid schedule and 9/80 work option that gives you every other Friday off.
  • Quarterly, holiday and independent bonuses are available.
  • Accrue 15 paid days of vacation time off in the first year plus 5 days of sick time off.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
