Formulation Chemist

We are seeking a highly skilled Formulation Chemist to join our team at Poly6. As a key member of our research and development team, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing photopolymer resins for digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology.

• Design, develop, and optimize novel photopolymer formulations for DLP 3D printing technologies.
• Conduct experiments to evaluate and improve resin properties such as cure kinetics, and mechanical strength.
• Analyze and characterize photopolymer materials using various analytical techniques (e.g., FTIR, DSC, TGA, rheology).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineers, material scientists, and product managers to align formulation development with market needs and manufacturing requirements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to resin performance and printability.
• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in photopolymer chemistry and 3D printing technologies.
• Maintain detailed laboratory records and prepare technical reports on formulation development progress.
• Ensure compliance with safety regulations and environmental standards in the laboratory.

• PhD or master's degree in chemistry, Polymer Science, or a related field.
• 5 years of experience in photopolymer formulation development, preferably for 3D printing applications.
• Strong understanding of photopolymerization mechanisms and resin chemistry.
• Hands-on experience with SLA/DLP 3D printing technologies.
• Proficiency in analytical techniques relevant to formulation development, polymer characterization, and tying structure property to material quality.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Adaptability and resilience in dynamic work environments, effectively managing ambiguity and uncertainty.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
