Common Search & ComparisonYesYes

Biomaterials Developers focus on designing and creating new biomaterials for medical applications, often working in product development and manufacturing. Biomaterials Scientists primarily conduct research to understand material properties and biological interactions, often working in academic or research settings. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds but differ in their focus on application versus fundamental research.

What are some common challenges faced by Biomaterials Developers when transitioning laboratory research into scalable production?

Biomaterials Developers often encounter challenges when moving from small-scale laboratory research to large-scale manufacturing. Issues such as maintaining material consistency, ensuring biocompatibility, and meeting regulatory standards can become more complex at scale. Additionally, collaborating closely with engineers, quality assurance teams, and regulatory specialists is essential to address these hurdles and bring innovative biomaterials to market efficiently. Adapting to cross-functional teamwork and iterative problem-solving is a key part of the role.

What are biomaterials developers?

Biomaterials developers are professionals who design, create, and test materials intended for use in medical applications, such as implants, prosthetics, or drug delivery systems. They work at the intersection of biology, chemistry, engineering, and material science to ensure that these materials are biocompatible, safe, and effective for their intended use. Their work often involves researching new materials, improving existing ones, and collaborating with medical professionals and manufacturers to bring innovative solutions to healthcare challenges.

Be part of a purpose-driven team where your skills contribute to meaningful change.

Due to continued rapid growth, Noble Biomaterials, Inc. is seeking a Technical Development Chemist to join our expanding team.


About the Role: We are seeking a Technical Development Chemist to lead the development and improvement of metallization processes for textile-based materials. This role focuses on optimizing silver-plating chemistry, improving product quality (uniformity, adhesion, conductivity), and scaling solutions from lab to production. You will work closely with engineering, production, and quality teams to translate research into practical manufacturing improvements.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop and optimize pre-treatment, activation, and plating chemistries
  • Design and run lab and pilot-scale experiments to improve metallization processes
  • Troubleshoot and improve plating bath stability, performance, and recovery
  • Analyze data to identify trends, root causes, and opportunities for improvement
  • Support scale-up, production trials, and process qualification
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, Production, and EHS
  • Document and present technical findings and recommendations
  • Provide technical support across teams and for customer-related issues
  • Contribute to new technology development and long-term roadmaps
  • Review raw materials (SDS/COA) and support quality lab activities


We're Looking For:

  • MS or PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in plating, metallization, surface treatment, or specialty chemicals

Required Skills

  • Experience with electroplating or electroless plating (silver, copper, nickel, etc.)
  • Understanding of surface preparation and activation on non-conductive materials
  • Strong analytical skills (e.g., SEM, XRF, ICP, titration)
  • Ability to design and interpret experiments independently

Preferred Skills

  • Knowledge of bath chemistry (complexation, additives, stabilizers)
  • Understanding of deposition kinetics and process variables
  • Experience in regulated or quality-driven environments (ISO, GMP, etc.)

Nice to Have

  • Textile or polymer surface chemistry experience
  • Continuous/roll-to-roll processing knowledge
  • Familiarity with silver chemistry and tarnish prevention
Skills & Competencies:
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
  • Clear communication and technical reporting skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and adapt to change
  • Team-oriented with a commitment to quality and safety

Additional Information:
  • No direct reports; mentorship opportunities available
  • Candidates with experience in copper or nickel plating are encouraged to apply


What You’ll Get:

  • Salary: $102,400-133,000 annually- based on experience
