Polymer Assistant information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a polymer assistant, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Polymer Assistant, you need a basic understanding of polymer science, laboratory techniques, and a relevant associate degree or technical diploma. Familiarity with lab equipment, safety protocols, and data recording systems is typically required. Strong attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are crucial soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure accurate experimental support, safety, and efficient collaboration within research or production environments.

What is the difference between Polymer Assistant vs Polymer Technician?

AspectPolymer AssistantPolymer Technician
Required CredentialsHigh school diploma or equivalent; on-the-job trainingAssociate degree or technical certification in polymer science or related field
Work EnvironmentLaboratory or manufacturing settings, assisting with daily tasksMore hands-on with equipment, conducting tests and quality checks
Job ResponsibilitiesSupporting polymer production, preparing materials, maintaining equipmentPerforming experiments, analyzing data, troubleshooting processes

The Polymer Assistant typically supports polymer production with basic tasks and requires minimal formal education. In contrast, the Polymer Technician performs more technical duties, including testing and analysis, often requiring specialized training or certification. Both roles are essential in polymer manufacturing environments, but the Technician role involves a higher level of technical expertise and responsibility.

What is a polymer assistant?

Polymer Assistants are professionals who support the development, testing, and processing of polymer materials in various industries such as plastics, manufacturing, and research laboratories. They assist senior chemists or engineers by preparing samples, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and maintaining laboratory equipment. Their work ensures that polymers meet quality and performance standards for use in products like packaging, automotive parts, and medical devices.

What does a polymer assistant do?

Job description

Company Overview
Hybron is an advanced manufacturing company that is building lightweight composites at mass production scale. At Hybron, we have pioneered a new composites manufacturing process that enables complex, high performance composite parts to be produced 10-100 times faster than traditional manufacturing, at a fraction of the cost.
We recently closed an oversubscribed $25M seed round, are backed by the Northrop Grumman Technology Accelerator, and are rapidly growing to commercialize and mass produce composite products at a scale never seen before. Our current focus is applying our proprietary process to composite artillery shells, solid rocket motor nozzles, gas turbine engine components, and airframes.
If you want to join a rapidly growing company working on cutting edge composites technology while building capabilities for the warfighter and reshoring U.S. manufacturing, then we want to speak with you.
About the Role
This is a full-time, in-person role at our El Segundo pilot facility. As you will be working at an early-stage deep tech startup, this role will span many different tasks.

Your work will tangibly impact our company and the composites industry, and you will be able to make rapid professional gains in an environment that encourages growth and innovation.
This role involves leading the end-to-end development and scaled manufacturing of high-performance composite products. You will be responsible for taking innovative concepts, designing products, manufacturing first articles, proving performance, and scaling manufacturing. As the owner of the product lifecycle, you will oversee design for manufacturing, material selection, layup optimization, and tooling integration.
Working in a high-growth company, you will be wearing many hats: project management, requirements identification, manufacturing design, stress and performance design, supply chain and vendor management, process optimization, continuous improvement, quality inspection, customer engagement, and more.
