Job description

Do you thrive on solving difficult problems, turning ideas into reality, and making things work in the real world? We are looking for a highly driven Product Developer to help shape the next generation of Dyneema® Composite Fabrics. This role sits at the intersection of product development, manufacturing, customer engagement, and innovation, with ownership from early concept through commercial launch. Dyneema® is the world’s strongest fiber, based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Our composite fabrics is a strong growth segment built on enabling exceptionally lightweight, high-performing solutions for premium outdoor gear, industrial applications, and advanced protective products.

The Opportunity

You will turn customer and market needs into robust, manufacturable products and take them from ideation and feasibility through development, scale-up, validation, and handover to running business. One week you may be developing a new product concept with a customer. The next, you may be running a production trial, solving a manufacturing challenge, validating performance, or preparing a commercial launch. You will work directly with operators, engineers, scientists, suppliers, customers, and business stakeholders across a global organization.
