What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Materials Scientist position at Quadratic 3D, Inc.?
We are seeking a highly motivated materials scientist to collaborate with senior staff in the design of next-generation 3D printing resins. Successful candidates will be passionate about polymer chemistry, excited to solve complex problems in a fast-paced environment, and comfortable in a multidisciplinary environment spanning chemistry, materials, optics, and software.
Responsibilities :
Develop, troubleshoot, and optimize formulations that produce 3D printed components with application-enabling thermal, mechanical, optical, and other performance properties.
Characterize resins and polymer materials via UV / Vis and IR spectroscopy, (photo)rheology, DMA, DSC, tensile / flexural / impact testing, etc.
Contribute to the development of workflows for high-throughput analyses and organization / visualization of large volumes of diverse chemical data.
Collaborate with synthetic chemists to design additives to improve photopolymerization kinetics.
Contribute to process development efforts such as scale-up of resin production and post-processing of 3D printed parts.
Minimum Qualifications :
BS or MS degree in Materials Science, Chemistry or Chemical Engineering (or a related degree with relevant coursework).
Excellent command of the basics of polymer science.
More than 1 year of experience in a chemical research environment.
Excellent communication, organizational, and time management skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Excellent documentation skills and habits (e.g. laboratory notebook entries, presentations, and reports).
