Job Description
Chemical Engineer – Polymer & Impregnation Technologies
Aurora, Ohio
$90-110,000
Lab + Pilot Plant | Collaboration with Chemists & Engineers | Hands-on R&D
The Role
You’ll work on developing new impregnation technologies and polymer-based sealant materials , moving ideas from lab concept to production process.
Main responsibilities
- Run lab-scale trials on organic/polymer materials and translate results into pilot and production processes .
- Collaborate with chemists, equipment engineers, and process technicians to improve impregnation systems.
- Analyze process–material relationships: how chemical structure affects equipment performance and material behavior under vacuum and pressure.
- Support production teams on the floor and customer service in the field when issues require chemical insight.
- Perform instrumental analysis (composition, material properties) and document findings in clear reports and process specifications.
Who You Are
- Degree in Chemical Engineering , Chemistry , Materials Science , or similar, with strong chemistry fundamentals and mechanical aptitude.
- 2–5 years in polymer or organic material handling—formulation, process evaluation, analytical measurement, or property testing.
- Able to interpret experimental data and communicate results with clarity.
- Comfortable operating and maintaining lab instruments.
- Curious, collaborative, and proactive in learning new chemical systems and processes.
Skills Snapshot
- R&D → Production scale-up experience.
- Hands-on use of analytical tools (e.g. FTIR, viscosity, titration).
- Strong documentation and data analysis (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, report writing).
- Experience with vacuum/pressure impregnation processes a plus
