Job description

Sr Materials Engineer

Job Description:

Sr. Material Innovation Engineer - Textiles & PPE

Bring firstprinciples rigor and evidencebacked decisions to deliver productionready material innovations that raise the bar for performance, reliability, and manufacturability in PPE. In this role, you lead material maturation by defining enduse performance intent, translating lab and field data into clear decisions, and retiring technical risk from early exploration through commercialization. You own validation and material readiness, partner directly with suppliers and factories, and ensure innovations scale confidently-where failure carries real lifesafety consequences.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define material performance objectives tied to enduse hazards and lifesafety outcomes; develop and execute validation strategies for durability, protection, comfort, and environmental exposure.
  • Translate lab test results into enduse decisions, correlating bench data with field performance and observed failure modes.
  • Identify, evaluate, and mature novel fibers, yarns, chemistries, coatings, foams, and hybrid textile systems through external tech scouting and partnerships (vendors, tech partners, universities).
  • Serve as primary technical liaison to factories and material suppliers; manage sample cadence, pilot runs, and commercialization readiness for gloves and softgoods.
  • Balance performance, cost, and scalability across textile architectures and processes (knitting, weaving, lamination, coating, welding, bonding, cutandsew).
  • Use modern data science and digital tools to accelerate material screening, pattern recognition, and decisionmaking-while maintaining engineering judgment and safety context.
  • Document material intent, assumptions, tradeoffs, and risks in clear specifications and recommendations; align crossfunctional teams on confident downselects.
  • Mentor engineers and developers in material evaluation, test interpretation, and firstprinciples thinking applied to PPE systems.

Typical Advanced Engineering Flow

Discovery: Identify unmet protection or durability needs; scout external technologies; benchmark performance and risk.
Definition: Translate hazards into material performance intent; select validation methods and supplier pathways.
Exploration: Develop and test material constructions; iterate with partners; quantify tradeoffs and failure modes.
Validation: Confirm fieldrelevant performance, durability, and manufacturability; retire material and process risk.
Commercialization: Deliver productionready specs, test methods, and supplier alignment; support launch as SME.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Textile Engineering, Polymer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field; advanced degree a plus.
  • 5+ years in materials innovation, PPE, softgoods, footwear, or technical textiles.
  • Deep expertise in fibers, yarns, textiles, leathers, synthetics, coatings, foams, and composite constructions.
  • Proven ability to convert test data into enduse material decisions.
  • Strong supplier and factory engagement experience across textile and softgoods manufacturing.
  • Comfortable applying advanced analytics, automation, and AIenabled tools to improve development efficiency.
  • Clear communicator who can align material science, manufacturing reality, and lifesafety requirements.
  • Willingness to travel ~10%.
