Founded at Northwestern University, Azul 3D is strategically growing its team to meet the demand for its additive manufacturing solutions that will transform markets. Azul’s innovative technology provides a differentiated approach to additive manufacturing with the opportunity to infiltrate underserved markets and be a change agent in these industries. Azul 3D has identified new verticals in 3D printing that are uniquely addressed by our tech stack’s focus on scalable architecture, material performance, and production enablement. We are an “applications first” company, bringing technologically innovative opportunities for leadership, vision, and market disruption. We are looking to grow our company and our team with exceptionally talented, team-focused, leaders like you.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking to for a Director of Materials to join our team and lead materials development and commercialization at Azul 3D. The Director of Materials will have a background in polymer chemistry and experience bringing UV curable materials to market. This person will work closely with the Process Team to lead material optimization, ensuring material performance and contributing to production of game-changing applications that are enabled by the technology of our printers.

This is an ideal career opportunity for someone who has expertise in material formulation and commercialization and who is passionate about the world of thermosets, recognizing the intrinsic value associated with enabling thermoset printability. The ideal candidate will be committed to creating and converting disruptive UV-curable

materials/chemistries

into 3D printing resins tailored for a specific product with the end geometry in mind. The Director of Materials will report to the CTO.

Specifically, this person will: Lead materials R&D and commercialization for Azul 3D. Partner with Azul 3D’s Fortune 500 chemical partners to take the lead on formulating thermoset chemistries to be (1) uv-curable, if not already, and (2) 3D printable. Collaborate with the business development team, developing a pipeline of new thermoset materials to optimize Azul 3D’s unique technology and competitive market advantage. Validate novel resin systems from Fortune 500 material partners. Adapt, modify, and formulate resins for continuous 3D printing on Azul’s groundbreaking, market disrupting, platform. Collaborate with the Process Engineering Team to optimize materials for printing. Work closely with the Software Team to optimize a AI model for printability. At the end of the day, this is software-driven chemistry. Guide teams in trouble-shooting problems that arise when developing targeted material specifications. Contribute to the company culture in a productive way, leading by example.

ABOUT YOU

Now that you know about the job itself, here is a little bit about you.

Proven record of leading teams in the commercialization of materials and developing material strategies. Terminal degree in Polymer Chemistry, Chemistry, or Material Science; PhD preferred. Proven track record of working with thermoset materials. Background in one or more of the following: formulation work, polymer chemistry, UV curable materials, and/or adhesives and coatings. Thrive on working with very smart people from different disciplines and know how to motivate them, especially when the going gets tough. Are a problem-solver and trouble-shooter.

When something does not work, you do what it takes to figure it out.

The phrase “I don’t know” is always followed by “but I’m going to figure it out.” Are creative.

You think about things through multiple lenses so that you come up with great solutions to complex problems.

You do not default to the tried and true unless it makes sense to do so. Are a strong collaborator.

You can work solo, but you enjoy sharing the lane with others. Take initiative.

You do not wait for someone to tell you what to do.

You see a need and you take it on. Are not fazed by a fast-paced environment. We are ambitious with our timelines and milestones, and often take risks to make larger leaps forward in progress. Have a deep sense of integrity.

You believe in doing things well, not cutting corners, and treating people with respect.

BIG PICTURE: FIRST SIX MONTHS AS YOU RAMP UP

Within one month, you will: Dive deep into the product to fully understand the material library and the printer. Learn the chemistry and kinetics associated with the printer and materials. Develop an understanding of key material partners. Gain a deep understanding of target

application/product

needs. Get to know the cross-functional team, including each person’s focus area and skill set (spanning the hardware, software, and materials teams).

Within three months, you will: Work with business development to develop an understanding of the materials pipeline and strategy. Lead material optimization and formulation. Coach and mentor team members, based on their learning needs and areas of development. Participate in hiring as we continue to build out our team.

Within six months, you will: Lead material formulation and commercialization both internally and with key material partners. Validate future material chemistries for potential compatibility with Azul platform. Collaborate with business development, refining the list of validated materials to determine a commercial roadmap. Drive requirements for future hardware and software needs. Continue to motivate and guide the team. Serve as a key member of leadership.
