Position Responsibilities:

  • Participate as an active member of the Materials Development Team, taking direction from senior engineers and scientists leading the active projects.
  • Learn how to use and operate lab scale mixing, extrusion, and molding equipment, to make experimental materials and prepare them for measurement of mechanical and thermal properties.
  • Learn how to use and operate polymer compounding equipment for producing pilot scale quantities of experimental materials.
  • Learn and use the principles of Design of Experiments for investigating material formulations and processing variables.
  • Learn and use mechanical, thermal, and chemical property testing equipment to generate the data required to develop new materials.
  • Assist with pilot scale tubing production for prototype hose builds with new materials as necessary.
  • Participate in all functions of the High-Performance Team environment as required.
  • Present and explain project plans, data, and results to the Team, generating reports as necessary.
