CTO, Building Materials Banten

We are looking for a visionary leader who understands the "physics of the factory." The ideal candidate transitioned from a high-level engineering or material science background into a strategic leadership role. They should have experience in industries like aerospace, automotive, wind energy, or high-end sporting goods.

• Material Innovation:
  Overseeing the development and testing of new resin systems, fiber reinforcements (carbon, glass, aramid), and sandwich structures.
• Process Engineering:
  Optimizing manufacturing techniques such as Autoclave, RTM (Resin Transfer Molding), VARTM, or Automated Fiber Placement (AFP).
• Digital Transformation:
  Implementing Industry 4.0 solutions, including digital twins, real-time sensor monitoring, and AI-driven quality control.
• Sustainability:
  Driving the adoption of bio-based resins and developing recycling/circularity strategies for composite waste.

• Material Science Mastery:
  Deep knowledge of polymer chemistry and structural mechanics.
• Operational Scaling
  
  Experience:
  
  moving from R&D prototypes to high-volume production.
• Supply Chain Tech:
  Ability to vet and integrate new hardware/software vendors.
• Regulatory Knowledge:
  Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100 (Aerospace), or IATF 16949 (Automotive).

• Safety First: A relentless commitment to chemical safety and structural integrity standards.
• The "Builder" Mindset:
  Proven track record of scaling production lines rather than just maintaining them.
• Cross-Functional Translator:
  Ability to explain complex chemical properties to investors and production bottlenecks to the Board.
• Pragmatic Innovator: Someone who doesn't just chase "cool tech" but focuses on ROI and production yield.

• Education:
  
  Master’s or PhD in Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Chemical Engineering is an advantage.
• Experience:
  
  10+ years in manufacturing industries (especially in composite and related fields), with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.
• Extensive experience in complex labor relations and long-term strategic cycles.
• Track Record:
  Proven success in reducing cycle times or material scrap rates in a production environment.
