About the Job

Requirements

  • An Associate Degree or technical certification in Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • At least 1 year of hands-on experience in an R&D, quality control, or manufacturing laboratory setting; experience with advanced materials, polymers, or composites is preferred within this requirement.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a fast-paced R&D or manufacturing team.
  • Experience with standard laboratory practices, safety protocols, and chemical handling, and familiarity with common material characterization techniques such as mechanical testing and microscopy.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel and Word, for data entry and report generation.
  • Strong attention to detail, organization, time management, and commitment to accurate, high-quality work.

Responsibilities

  • Operate, maintain, and perform varied testing on raw materials and in-process samples using specialized lab equipment, including thermal analysis equipment, mechanical testers such as universal testing machines for tensile, compression, and shear testing, electrical testing equipment, calendering tools, and die cutting.
  • Prepare samples according to detailed standard operating procedures, including composite layup, cutting, polishing, and mounting.
  • Assist scientists and engineers with experimental setups, material mixing, formulation preparation, and small-scale batch processing for Z-axis Fiber composites; troubleshoot process deviations and material issues under engineers' direction.
  • Monitor and record critical processing parameters, including temperature, pressure, and time, during pilot and production runs, and promptly report out-of-specification or non-conforming results to appropriate personnel.
  • Accurately record, manage, and analyze experimental and quality control data using laboratory notebooks, Laboratory Information Management Systems, and spreadsheets.
  • Maintain testing and calibration logs in compliance with internal Quality Management System standards.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe laboratory environment in accordance with Environmental Health and Safety policies.

Desired Qualifications

  • A Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Direct experience with carbon fiber composites, prepregs, or thermal interface materials.
  • Experience operating and maintaining laboratory equipment or working in high-volume manufacturing environments.
  • Familiarity with Quality Management Systems such as ISO 9001.

About the Company

Boston Materials

Manufactures liquid-metal thermal interface materials

Boston Materials develops advanced energy-transfer composites for high-performance electronics, aerospace, and electrified mobility. Its flagship Liquid Metal ZRT® combines vertically oriented carbon fibers with a liquid metal matrix to form a thermal interface that boosts cooling and is designed as a drop-in preform for automated assembly. The same Z-axis fiber approach is used for interlaminar reinforcement to prevent delamination, and the company is exploring lightweight bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells, produced via roll-to-roll processing with reclaimed carbon fiber. The goal is to scale production to meet industrial demand across semiconductors, aerospace, and electrified-vehicle markets while expanding adoption and advancing sustainability through recycled carbon fiber use.
