Job summary

E-Space seeks a skilled CBD Process Engineer to develop, operate, and optimize wet-chemical deposition processes for thin-film formation on flexible substrates. You will own R2R coating equipment, manage chemical solutions, and ensure precise bath chemistry to achieve consistent film growth.

The role requires advanced chemistry knowledge, 5+ years in deposition processes, and experience scaling from lab to high-volume manufacturing.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Engineering Technology, or related field.
• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in chemical deposition processes for thin films (CBD, wet coating, electrochemical, plating, sol-gel, or similar).
• Strong understanding of wet-chemical reaction control, solution stability, stoichiometry, and bath kinetics.

Responsibilities

• Develop, optimize, and maintain chemical bath deposition processes for thin-film layer formation on flexible substrates.
• Operate and own R2R chemical coating equipment, including solution delivery, heating, mixing, agitation, web movement, and drying systems.
• Prepare chemical solutions, adjust concentrations, control reaction kinetics, and maintain bath chemistry for consistent film growth.
• Monitor real-time process variables (temperature, pH, flow, concentration, deposition rate, web tension, alignment) and define control limits.
• Perform routine inspections, calibrations, and preventive maintenance on CBD and R2R equipment.
• Troubleshoot deviations, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Scale processes from lab/pilot to high-volume manufacturing with engineering teams.
• Maintain accurate records of chemical usage, batch logs, and deposition parameters.
