Chemical Engineer

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
