About the Position

Bringing new technologies into existence is hard work, and nobody knows that better than the pilot operations team.

In a science-driven material technology company, the pilot operations team does the heavy lifting— sometimes literally— of scaling benchtop chemistry and engineering concepts to produce data and generate product samples.

Perhaps even more than mechanical aptitude, creativity, and the ability to work with a goal-driven team on a deadline, the plant operations role calls for grit and determination.
