The ideal candidate brings deep material science and process expertise across polyisocyanuraterigid foam, TPO, PVC, polyurethane (PU/TPU), and CASE. You will be responsible for translating market requirements into first-to-market commercial platforms, while providing hands‑on root‑cause failure analysis (RCFA) and line optimization on the plant floor.

• Advanced Formulation &Product Development: Lead R&D initiatives in Polyiso/EPS rigid foam insulation, TPO single‑ply systems, and liquid‑applied coatings/adhesives
• Process Technology & Scale-Up Integration: Partner with engineering teams on technology transfers from lab‑scale synthesis through pilot line runs and full‑scale commercial manufacturing
• Predictive & Digital R&D Workflows: Drive integration of predictive modeling tools (FEA), AI‑driven material and process modeling, and digital analytics into R&D processes to optimize process and accelerate product launch
• IP Generation & Pipeline Management: Drive early‑stage concepts to build patentable intellectual property, establishing long‑term competitive differentiation and high‑margin product platforms.
• Root-Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA):Serve as the principal technical contact to diagnose and resolve complex material defects, cure/mixing instabilities, crosslinking optimization, delamination issues, thermal stability analysis, viscoelastic behavior andmelt fracture elimination
• Process Window Optimization: Partner with plant engineering to establish tight process windows, optimize line speeds, improve mix ratios, and integrate automated process controls without sacrificing product performance or yield.
