Process Optimization: Collaborate with manufacturing teams to optimize casting processes, ensuring consistent product quality and scalability.
Quality Control: Develop and implement quality assurance protocols to ensure products meet customer specifications and industry standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO).
Research and Innovation: Stay updated on advancements in polymer chemistry and vinyl technology to innovate new products or improve existing formulations.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure formulations comply with environmental, health, and safety regulations, such as REACH, RoHS, and Environmental standards.
Troubleshooting: Investigate and resolve issues related to product performance, manufacturing defects, or customer complaints.
Documentation: Maintain detailed records of formulations, test results, and process parameters; prepare technical reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
Collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and sales teams, to align formulations with market needs and customer requirements.

Proficiency in physical testing and analytical techniques.
Familiarity with casting processes and equipment.
Problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Certifications: Knowledge of Six Sigma or other process improvement methodologies is a plus.

Software: Proficiency in laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Minitab).
