Job description

About Hexegen

Hexegen is a Texas-based advanced materials company and a subsidiary of Nabors Industries. We are commercializing the Hexite™ platform — a proprietary process for producing high-purity, graphene-class nanomaterials at scale.

For twenty years, graphene and graphene-class materials have been chemistry's most over-promised category. The properties are extraordinary — strength, conductivity, surface area no other material approaches — but the field has stalled on a recurring set of problems: processes that don't scale, products that aren't pure, feedstocks that aren't economic, and chemistries you can't tune to a specific application.

Hexite™ solves all four. The reaction is scalable. The product is high-purity. The inputs are common and inexpensive. And the process is controllable enough that we can engineer the molecule itself for the application at hand.

That tunability is what unlocks the full breadth of the market. Hexite™ materials target thermoplastics, construction, energy storage, automotive, aviation, defense, and medical applications, with hydrogen technologies on the roadmap.

The Opportunity

Hexegen's pilot facility manufactures high-quality Hexite™ at scale today. The chemistry works, and much of the production system that will follow has already been designed. The next chapter is engineering: fine-tuning that system, completing the work around it, and bringing it to commercial readiness so that Hexegen can supply Hexite™ to global customers across every market that wants it.

We are hiring an experienced Senior Process Engineer to own that work. It is real chemical engineering — completing a system, fine-tuning it, and engineering the path to commercial scale — and one of the most consequential engineering roles at Hexegen. The person who succeeds here will determine how quickly we get from pilot to global production, and how good our product is when we get there.
