• Strong troubleshooting skills - comfortable diagnosing and resolving machinery and process issues on the floor
• Experience preparing production reports and technical documentation
• Familiarity with safety and regulatory compliance in materials manufacturing is an advantage
• Comfortable operating in a startup-to-growth environment with high ownership, adaptability, and accountability
• Resourceful and hands-on - willing to wear multiple hats, work with limited resources, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities as the company scales
• Open to Malaysian citizens only

This role suits candidates who are passionate about applied manufacturing and process excellence, thrive in a startup-to-growth environment, and can lead graphene production from validated process to reliable, scaled-up output.
