Chemical Engineer / Polymer Scientist Full Time

Project Overview:

We are looking for a skilled chemical engineer, polymer expert, or chemist who can help read and make sense of lab test outcomes like ICP, TGA, FTIR, and ash content. This is for a special material used in making polymers.

The goal is to take apart an already made product by looking at the data we have, guessing what’s in it, and then coming up with a new recipe that works and doesn’t cost too much, using common industry parts. This product has a mix of organic parts, non-organic fillers, and helpful extras.

Scope of Work:

• Review and interpret lab analysis reports (provided by us)

• Identify key material classes and estimate their relative proportions

• Recommend a practical formulation using compatible and commonly available ingredients

• Outline the methodology or reasoning behind the estimations

• Suggest improvements for performance optimization or cost reduction

Required Expertise:

• Educational and/or professional background in polymer science, chemical engineering, or materials science

• Demonstrated experience interpreting TGA, ICP, FTIR, ash analysis, and acid digestion test results

• Knowledge of plastic additives, stabilizers, and common industrial formulation techniques

• Ability to use Excel or basic computational tools for percentage-based estimations and formulation modeling

Expected Deliverables:

• Estimated component breakdown based on lab data

• Clear and structured formulation table with ingredient proportions

• A concise technical summary justifying the proposed formulation, including assumptions and methodology used
