This position requires a deep understanding of chemical manufacturing, process engineering, and a passion for utilizing advanced technologies to drive innovation.

Responsibilities:

• Under the direction of our Engineering Director, manage the daily operations of our small manufacturing and warehouse operation, including purchasing and logistics.
• Develop and implement manufacturing processes to produce nanotechnology-based disinfectants, from small-scale production to large-scale manufacturing.
• Collaborate with the research and development team to translate product designs and formulations into scalable manufacturing processes.
• Optimize manufacturing processes to improve efficiency, quality, and yield while minimizing costs and waste.
• Conduct process troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions to ensure consistent and reliable production.
• Design and implement quality control systems to monitor product quality throughout the manufacturing process.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, including standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and batch records.
• Identify opportunities for process automation and implement innovative technologies to enhance manufacturing capabilities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including R&D, supply chain, and quality assurance, to drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ensure compliance with safety regulations, environmental standards, and industry best practices.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in nanotechnology and chemical manufacturing to drive innovation within the organization.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. Advanced degree preferred.
• Proven experience (3+ years) in a manufacturing engineering role within the chemical industry, preferably in the production of formulated products such as coatings, cleaners, or personal care products.
• Strong understanding of chemical manufacturing processes, including mixing, formulation, and packaging.
• Familiarity with nanotechnology and its application in disinfectant products is highly desirable.
• Proficient in process optimization, statistical analysis, and problem-solving methodologies (Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, etc.).
• Experience with process scale-up and technology transfer from R&D to manufacturing.
• Knowledge of quality control systems and regulatory compliance in chemical manufacturing.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Strong attention to detail, analytical mindset, and ability to work in a fast-paced, startup environment.

Joining our startup company as a Manufacturing Engineer provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the growth of a cutting-edge nanotechnology-based disinfectant manufacturing facility.
