Roles & Responsibilities
Your Mission :
Lead the transformation of next-gen materials from lab-scale discovery to scalable, commercial products. Build the bridge between scientific excellence and industrial relevance.
What You’ll Do :
- Drive end-to-end product development across nanomaterials - from design to deployment.
- Lead small, agile teams of chemists, engineers, and data scientists focused on rapid prototyping and iterative validation.
- Establish feedback loops between synthesis, characterization, machine learning models, and customer requirements.
- Collaborate directly with customers, and investors to align product development with market needs.
- Build strategic partnerships with manufacturing partners, research institutions, and early adopters.
- Lead IP strategy and co-author high-impact publications and patents.
- Manage timelines and resources across a portfolio of R&D initiatives with commercialization targets in mind.
