ElectronicsFull-timeEngineering

Key Responsibilities

Apply analytical and materials characterization techniques to understand ink and raw material behavior, including functional components and material interactions, to meet performance, quality, and regulatory requirements.
Contribute to the development, optimization, and sustainment of ink formulations through strong analytical insight, with opportunities to take on increased formulation ownership over time.
Lead analytical analysis investigations into ink-related development and manufacturing issues, connecting formulation chemistry, material behavior, and process conditions to identify root causes and corrective actions.
Partner closely with ink manufacturing, R&D, and laboratory teams to support process development, scale-up readiness, qualification activities, and technology introduction.
Serve as a technical subject matter contributor in formulation chemistry and/or materials characterization, influencing formulation strategies and technical direction.
Strengthen and sustain analytical chemistry technical capability, including methods, best practices, and knowledge sharing across formulation and characterization activities.
Represent the formulation and materials characterization function in cross-functional projects, with opportunities to act as a technical or project lead for complex initiatives.
Communicate technical findings clearly and effectively, through written reports and discussions, to support timely, data-driven decision making.

Requirements

PHD or Masters degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science or a related field.
Typically, 5+ years of experience in analytical chemistry or material characterization, ideally applied to complex chemical or materials systems in ink or materials development in a related industrial environment.
Strong foundation in chemical formulation principles, or the ability to apply analytical insight to formulation-driven systems, with strong experimental design, and data interpretation.
Experience applying analytical, experimental, or characterization methods to understand chemical or materials systems in R&D or manufacturing contexts.
Ability to apply techniques in Chromatography, Spectroscopy, Elemental Analysis, Thermal measurement, or Particle Size & Physical measurement tools.
Demonstrated ability to work independently, take ownership of technical problems, and collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
Proven records in leading formulation studies, technical investigations, or project workstreams is strongly preferred.
