Plastics Processing Engineer / Technologist (f/m/d) Compounding & Applications

Requirements

• Proven senior-level of professional experience in an industrial laboratory, pilot plant, or production environment.
• Deep, hands-on experience in polymer processing (compounding, extrusion, injection moulding) and formulating masterbatches/additives.

Your mission

As part of our R&D team, you will be the technical backbone of our polymer processing team, transforming our novel, sustainable polymers into high-performance compounds ready for scale-up.

Compounding & Formulation

Develop and optimize polymer formulations, focusing on additives, masterbatches and compounding strategies tailored to our new materials.

Equipment Operation

Hands-on setup, operation, and troubleshooting of polymer processing equipment, including lab kneaders, single/twin-screw extruders, injection moulding machines and film blowing lines.

Application Development

Drive material development across key application fields (e.g. injection moulding, film processing, fibre spinning or monofilaments for 3D printing). You don't need to be a deep expert in all of these fields, but you will help define key processing parameters and guidelines for target applications.

Data-Driven R&D

Analyze and interpret mechanical, thermal and rheological properties (MFI, capillary rheometry, DSC, TAN/acid value, tensile testing) to derive robust structure-property relationships.

Education

Degree (B.Sc./M.Sc.) in Plastics Engineering, Polymer Science, Materials Science or a related field. Alternatively, completed vocational training as a Plastics Technologist or Technician with extensive relevant industry experience.

Analytical Mindset

Confident handling of thermal and rheological analysis methods.

Working Style

Precise, well-organized, and reliable even in the dynamic environment of a growing startup. You bring a strong hands-on mentality and structure your work efficiently.
