R & D Lab Technician in Frederick, Maryland at Inventwood

The R&D Lab Technician runs the bench-level experiments behind SUPERWOOD — a molecularly densified wood material. It's a hands-on technical role at a DOE-backed climate-materials company: you'll execute test protocols exactly as written, run the long repetitive test series that generate our most important data, and keep records clean enough that a result from three months or three years ago still holds up under scrutiny.

We're looking for someone methodical. A great deal of whether InventWood succeeds comes down to whether hundreds of nominally identical specimens were prepared, conditioned, and measured the same way — and whether the resulting dataset can be trusted. That work rewards patience, precision, and good record-keeping more than improvisation. This is a high-intensity, build-the-company environment; if you find real satisfaction in a well-run test series and a dataset with no gaps, this role is built for you.
