Job Purpose or Job Summary

Job Summary

This position is responsible for supporting in the research & development, characterization, and scale-up of materials and processes supporting new and existing products, with primary emphasis on extruded attenuation materials.

The Engineer applies engineering, chemistry and/or materials science knowledge to assist in formulating polymer-based systems, evaluate functional fillers and additives, understand structure-property relationships, and supports the translation of laboratory findings into robust, manufacturable extrusion processes.

The position assists the Principal Chemist in technical experimentation, material selection, test-method development, supplier qualification, and manufacturing transfer while working cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, Operations, and Supply Chain. This position is expected to be onsite during second shift with some limited remote work accepted (~10%).

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Research & Development Support
- Assists research and development activities for extruded attenuation materials from early feasibility through design transfer and commercialization.
- Assists in the development and optimization of polymer-based formulations containing heavy attenuation material loading, fillers, additives, stabilizers, processing aids, and other constituents required to achieve targeted attenuation, mechanical, dimensional, and processing performance.
- Executes development trials on production equipment using statistically sound methods, including design of experiments (DOE), to understand key formulation and process variables.

Quality & Regulatory Requirements
- Characterizes raw materials, compounds, extrudates, and finished components using established lab practices including, but not limited to, chemical, physical, thermal, mechanical, dimensional, and attenuation test methods.
- Establishes material specifications, acceptance criteria, sampling plans, and test methods that correlate critical material attributes to product performance and manufacturability.
- Partners with manufacturing teams to document process windows, troubleshoot defects, improve consistency, and scale formulations from laboratory or supplier trials to production.
- Assists the internal sourcing team to assess technical capability, obtain data, coordinate trials, and resolve material-related issues with material suppliers.
- Uses Change Control process to execute product and material changes while ensuring resulting products can be adequately manufactured, tested, and released.
- Develops, implements, and documents test plans and results, ensuring testing is technically justified and aligned with applicable quality and regulatory requirements.

Process Improvement Expectations
- Collaborates with cross functional teams to execute project timelines, ensuring that project deliverables are met and any findings, recommendations, or risks are communicated clearly to key stakeholders.
- Actively seeks opportunities to improve material performance, process capability, test efficiency, product cost, and organizational technical knowledge.
- Demonstrates ability to engage and collaborate with global manufacturing sites and external technical partners to build vendor relationships.
- Additional responsibilities as assigned.
- Assist with product development.
- Collaborate with other production associates and workplace team members.
- The Engineer is to demonstrate and actively support TIDI Products Core Values and Guiding Principles.
