Ready to Formulate the Future of Smart Glass? We Need Our Chemical Engineer in South China!
Imagine this: You are the vital link in South China, pioneering a technology that will revolutionize the dynamic window market.
You aren’t just running tests; you are preparing a groundbreaking product for its global commercial launch.
This is the moment to jump in. We are looking for a hands-on expert who wants to push boundaries, not just follow instructions.
We need a specialist who can translate deep chemistry into market-ready solutions. Are you the innovator who will bring our ink technology to life?
Your Mission: Mastering the Chemistry of Innovation
As our Chemical Engineer, you are the guardian of our core technology: the ink. Located in South China, but reporting directly to our engineering team in Eindhoven, you bridge the gap between formulation and final product.
- Master the Formula: You will design and optimize electrophoretic ink formulations and drive pigment surface engineering to perfection.
- Create the Pathway: You don’t just follow recipes; you develop and refine synthesis pathways for pigment modification
- Validate the Science: You get your hands dirty. You plan and execute rigorous electrophoretic ink testing and performance evaluations to prove our technology works.
- Set the Standard: You establish and implement the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for ink formulation and pigment modification, ensuring quality as we scale.
- Bridge the Teams: You collaborate effectively with internal teams and external partners, supervising key projects and ensuring seamless communication between China and Europe.
We need a flexible multitasker who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You are:
- A Proactive Problem Solver: Organized and autonomous, you tackle challenges with a systematic, detail-oriented approach.
- A Team Player: You are open-minded and collaborative, but you can work independently when the situation demands it.
- Highly Responsible: You have a strong sense of ownership and accountability for your lab and your results.
- Travel Ready: You have the willingness and availability to travel when needed.
What You Absolutely Need
✅ A Solid Foundation: A strong background in polymer chemistry.
✅ Proven Experience: Experience in colloidal chemistry, dispersion, and emulsion development (Bonus points if you have experience with electrophoretic inks!).
✅ Technical Mastery: Strong expertise in pigment engineering, ink formulation, and ink characterization (using FTIR, GPC/SEC, rheometers, viscometers, TGA, DLS, UV-Vis, etc.).
✅ Operational Excellence: Experience in lab operations, equipment maintenance, and EHS practices.
✅ Bilingual Power: You are fluent in both Chinese and English. This is a must.
✅ Local Presence: You must currently reside in the South China region.
Why You Want to Work Here
- Real Impact: You will work on cutting-edge technology that is making the world a more sustainable place.
- The Startup Vibe: Be part of an innovative startup environment in China, with the excitement of bringing a revolutionary technology to market
- The Team: Join a supportive team where motivation and passion drive success.
