Scale experimental recipes into pilot batches (up to 5 kg) while ensuring reproducibility.
Tailor ink properties such as viscosity, surface tension, particle dispersion, and stability to match printhead requirements.
Inkjet Printer Operation & Mechanisms
Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot inkjet printers and test rigs.
Understand printer subsystems (printhead, waveform, drop formation, ink delivery, curing/firing).
Run print trials, capture print quality data, and feed results back into ink design.
Applied Research & Process Innovation
Conduct DOE studies to optimize color calibration, waveform tuning, and print consistency across machines.
Explore new pigment systems, dispersants, and solvents to expand ink performance.
Collaborate with engineering to adapt inks to different printheads and substrates (e.g., zirconia, metals, ceramics).
Incoming Quality Control
Perform incoming QC on inks sourced from vendors to ensure they meet required physical property specifications (e.g., viscosity, particle size, stability).
Document results and provide feedback to suppliers and internal teams.
Vendor Communication
Work closely with vendors to discuss formulation changes, improvements, and troubleshooting.
Ensure external formulations align with internal performance requirements.
Documentation & Communication
Keep precise lab notebooks, batch records, and experimental reports.
Present results and recommendations to technical leadership and cross-functional teams.
Support scale-up into production with well-documented methods.
Ensure compliance with lab safety, cleanliness, and chemical handling protocols.
Qualifications
Education:
B.S. or M.S., preferably Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Printing Science, or related field.
Experience:
2-5 years of experience in inkjet inks, coatings, dispersions, or printing technology.
Hands-on experience with inkjet printers and printheads (Seiko, Epson, Xaar, etc.).
Track record of bridging chemistry with machine performance.
Skills:
Strong knowledge of fluid dynamics, surface chemistry, and particle dispersion.
Ability to troubleshoot jetting behavior, waveform settings, and print quality defects.
Comfortable in both laboratory and pilot production environments.
Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.
Preferred:
Experience with ceramic inks or dental materials (zirconia crowns, etc.)
Familiarity with color science, VITA shades, and calibration workflows.
Knowledge of FDA or ISO regulatory environments for medical/dental materials.
What We Offer
The chance to work at the intersection of chemistry and printing technology.
Competitive compensation and benefits.
A role with high visibility and impact in shaping a state-of-the-art ink lab.
Growth opportunities in a dynamic, entrepreneurial team.
