Chemical Engineer

Full-time

The role of the site Chemical Engineer is to support and optimize the manufacturing processes used to produce electrical safety products, including insulating gloves and sleeves. This role is responsible for translating material formulations into stable, scalable, and efficient production processes, ensuring consistent product quality and compliance with safety standards.

This role will work closely with chemists and manufacturing engineers and serve as the technical bridge between formulation and production, with a strong focus on process engineering, equipment performance, and continuous improvement.

Own and optimize core processing operations involving elastomers, including mixing and compounding, dipping and curing.

Establish and maintain critical process parameters (temperature profiles, cycle times, viscosity control, cure conditions)

Monitor process capability and drive improvements in yield, throughput, and cost efficiency

Partner with Polymer Chemists to transition formulations from lab to production

Define process windows and operating envelopes for new materials

Lead plant trials, validation runs, and process qualification activities

Ensure repeatability and robustness of new product introductions

Investigate and resolve process-related issues (e.g., defects, variability, scrap)
