If you're passionate about innovation and want to help shape the future of display technology, we'd love to hear from you.

As a member of the Ink Materials Development Group, you will have the opportunity to help shape the next generation of electrophoretic displays. The Ink Scientist will be responsible for developing, optimizing, and scaling electrophoretic ink formulations while also contributing to the design, processing, and scale-up of other electrophoretic materials, including pigments, colloidal dispersions, and microcapsules. This work will span early feasibility through commercialization.

The Ink Scientist will collaborate with cross-functional and cross-disciplinary teams to develop solutions that address both the technical and business needs of each project. Over time, this individual will develop into a subject-matter expert capable of contributing across multiple project teams and technology platforms.

The essential duties and responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Formulate and optimize electrophoretic inks for novel, high-performance applications.
• Investigate pigment-modification chemistries, including surface-functionalization and polymerization techniques.
• Establish structure–property relationships for novel electrophoretic ink components and formulations.
• Evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of ink formulations, component designs, and synthetic pathways.
• Identify, evaluate, optimize, and control critical-to-performance properties of raw materials, engineered materials, and finished formulations.
• Design and execute experiments using design of experiments, statistical analysis, and other data-driven approaches to improve formulation performance, efficiency, robustness, and reliability.
• Assist in the design, development, scale-up, and optimization of chemical processes used to manufacture novel electrophoretic ink components.
• Plan, schedule, execute, analyze, and present experiments and results.
• Collaborate with analytical scientists to characterize pigments, dispersions, and ink formulations.
• Document ink-component designs, formulation and manufacturing procedures, and material specifications within the document-control system.
• Meet project commitments, identify technical and schedule risks, and proactively develop contingency plans.
• Participate in root-cause investigations and troubleshooting efforts involving internally manufactured and externally supplied materials.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform the essential functions of the position. The qualifications listed below are representative of…
