Bachelor’s degree considered with strong, hands-on industry experience
5+ years of experience developing and commercializing thermoplastic polymer compounds/masterbatches for transportation markets (e.g., automotive, aerospace, defense, recreational, utility vehicles)

Bring your formulation expertise and commercialization mindset to a role built for real ownership—apply today to help deliver the next wave of transportation materials from lab to market.
