Bring your polymer based formulations experience and drive new product development by working with customers to create new &ldquo;green&rdquo; products! Highly desirable location on the West side of Chicago!
 
 
 Our Core New Product Development (C-NPD) team is at the heart of this innovation, developing breakthrough packaging solutions that reduce waste and meet evolving consumer needs.

 Lead formulation projects through company&rsquo;s stage-gate innovation framework, from concept to commercialization.

 Partner with customer R&amp;D teams to define requirements, co-develop solutions, and validate product performance.
 </li>
 <li>
 Design and execute experiments to explore film formulation, structure-property relationships and converting processes.

 Apply advanced data analysis and modeling tools (Python, JMP, MATLAB) to interpret complex results and accelerate development.

 <li>
 Guide cross-functional teams in evaluating new materials and processes, ensuring technical rigor and alignment with customer needs.

 <li>
 Communicate technical results and recommendations effectively to internal leadership and customer stakeholders.
