Jr. R Engineer – Chemical Vapor Deposition

Jr. R&D Engineer – Chemical Vapor Deposition

We are looking for a Junior R&D Engineer to work with our engineering team to assist with our Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) research and production. You will work both independently and as a second set of hands for our Senior R&D Engineers. You will primarily assist with the research on conductive and waterproof coatings, but there will also be plenty of opportunities to get involved with every other aspect of our process.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with Senior R&D Engineers to operate CVD chambers, producing both conductive and waterproof fabrics, and eventually learning to perform depositions independently.
• Test fabrics for coating robustness, record results, and communicate those results to the Senior R&D Engineer to develop research strategies.
• Construct heated/biosensing garments with our prototyping team during times of rapid production.
• Potentially assist in technical writing for available grants.
• Work under general direction, independently identifying and developing approaches to solutions.
• Attend management meetings and provide suggestions for operational excellence and continuous improvement.

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, materials engineering, polymer science & engineering, or related education.
• Experienced in or curious about working in a start-up environment and excited to work in a fast-paced dynamic landscape. Must be a self-starter and work well in ambiguity.
• Able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and prioritize work activities both independently and in a team environment.
• An independent problem solver, hands-on scientist, highly upbeat, great teammate, and proactive.
• Experienced with any of the following (desirable, but not required): vacuum systems, Solidworks/CAD Software, LabVIEW, Arduino, electronic assembly/integration, power tools, and/or sewing.
