## Role details

## R&D Technician

## Job Summary

As an R&D Technician, you will primarily work with a team of chemists, engineers, and other technicians to support the execution of dispersion formulation, ink development, material characterization, and scale-up activities. You will prepare formulations, operate laboratory equipment, troubleshoot, conduct experiments, collect and document data, and maintain a safe and efficient laboratory environment.

The role supports new product development, technology evaluations, process improvement initiatives, and manufacturing readiness activities from laboratory scale through pilot-scale demonstrations. You will work closely with R&D chemists and cross-functional partners to ensure timely and high-quality execution of development programs.

## Responsibilities

  
- Apply working knowledge of the theory and operation of simple analytical testing (e.g., pH, conductivity, viscosity) and/or routine chemical formulation procedures.
  
- Use basic knowledge of the theory and operation of more complex analytical instrumentation (e.g., particle size, particle counts).
  
- Apply basic knowledge of general chemistry and/or materials analysis theory.
  
- Demonstrate thorough knowledge of routine chemical laboratory procedures, equipment, and chemical nomenclature.
  
- Handle large fluid containers using a pallet jack/forklift (some lifting of containers required).
  
- Perform basic, non-standard lab practices (e.g., filtration).
  
- Set up and conduct simple experiments.
  
- Properly use a lab notebook.
  
- Perform non-routine work following clear directions.
  
- Discuss simple theoretical concepts.
  
- Perform chemical formulations.
  
- Understand and interpret the periodic table.

## Education

  
- Diploma/General Education Diploma (GED)/Higher Secondary education in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Polymer Science, or a related technical discipline.

## Experience

  
- Typically 1–2+ years of laboratory, formulation, manufacturing, or product development experience in chemical, materials, coatings, inks, plastics, specialty chemicals, or related industries.
  
- Fresh graduates with strong laboratory experience may also be considered.
  
- Commitment to perform the job according to work instructions and procedures.
  
- Ability to work efficiently and handle workload and schedule pressures.
  
- Possess a positive, “can-do” attitude with minimal supervision.

## Preferred Experience

  
- Candidates currently working in chemical labs will have an advantage.
  
- Familiarity with formulation preparation, sample evaluation, and experimental execution.
  
- Experience with laboratory documentation and data recording systems.
  
- Knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.
  
- Knowledge of ink chemistry and ink mixing.
  
- Experience with PPE usage.
